[Solved] Weekend Slots

[Robi]

Hi,

i want that i can create appointments  which are 3 or 4 weeks long..
Is it possible to ignore the Weekends which are between the appointment? Or can they be made readonly or something else.. when i set IsReadOnly = true   i can max use 5 days (mo - fr) for an appointment  because saturday and sunday are blocked.. 

private void CreateWeekendBlockedDates()
{
    var weekEnds = new List<DateTime>(); //new list with Weekends
    DateTime startDate;
    if (DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday) //today = saturday?
    {
        startDate = DateTime.Today;
    }
    else
    {
        var diffDay = DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek - DayOfWeek.Saturday;
        startDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-diffDay);
    }
    //takes all weekends in 70 days past and 10 years future
    for (var dt = startDate.AddDays(-70); dt < startDate.AddYears(10); dt = dt.AddDays(7))
    {
        weekEnds.Add(dt);
    }

    foreach (var weekEnd in weekEnds)
    {
        SpecialSlots.Add(new DaySlot(weekEnd, weekEnd.AddDays(2))
        {
            Description = "",
            IsReadOnly = true  //other possibilities?
        });
    }
}

Hi Robi,

As a solution I can suggest you to use regular Slots instead of ReadOnly, this way you will be able to create longer appointments. As for the weekends you could easily disable the EditAppointmentDialog when user clicks inside them, you will need to handle the the ShowDialog event of the ScheduleView and to show the dialog only when the day is not in the weekend. Please check the code snippet below:

private void scheduleView_ShowDialog(object sender, ShowDialogEventArgs e)
{
    var selectedSlot = (sender as RadScheduleView).SelectedSlot;
    if (this.scheduleView.SpecialSlotsSource.Any(slot => (slot.Start<=selectedSlot.Start && slot.End >= selectedSlot.End)))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Hope this will help you.
