Using a Data Provider That is Not XML

[Daniel]

  I have been working on creating a Data Provider by following the instructions under: Implementing a provider that supports multivalued resources. I am now ready to use it. However the only documentation that I have found is the article on Using a Data Provider which only describes how to use an XML file for a provider.  I have tried adapting it but I obviously don't know my way around the web.config enough to finesse it into working.  Are there other directions that I am missing?
 The Data Provider I created uses a SQL database and is named ACMESchedulerProvider.
 I am using RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2010 NET35.

Thanks!

Hi Don,

Please take a look at the demo about using a Database Provider. In the description you can find the needed settings in web.config file.

Feel free to ask me if you have further questions.

Thanks for the response, I need a little more clarification though.  Are you saying that I need to drop the following code into my web.config:

<telerik.web.ui>
       <radScheduler defaultAppointmentProvider="Integrated">
           <appointmentProviders>
               <add name="ReadOnlySchedulerData" type="Telerik.Web.Examples.Scheduler.MyDbSchedulerProvider"
                   connectionStringName="TelerikConnectionString"
                   persistChanges="true" />
           </appointmentProviders>
       </radScheduler>
   </telerik.web.ui>

I did this and tried to configure it with my name, type, and ConnectionStringName but I immediately get an error:
----------------------------------

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section telerik.web.ui.

Line 27:

<telerik.web.ui>

 --------------------------------

 

Ideas?
Thanks,
Don

Hello Don,

The problem is in that the registration of the section group with name="telerik.web.ui" is missing in your web.config file in the <configSections>:

<sectionGroup name="telerik.web.ui">
      <section name="radScheduler" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadSchedulerConfigurationSection, Telerik.Web.UI, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" requirePermission="false"/>
    </sectionGroup>
