[Solved] Weeknumber TimerulerMajorTick

[Benny]

Is there any way to get the SchedelureView to show the weeknumber in TimeRulerMajorTick.

FixedTickLengthProvider sevenDays = new FixedTickLengthProvider();
           sevenDays.TickLength = new TimeSpan(7, 0, 0, 0, 0);

           SchProjekt.ViewDefinitions.Add(new TimelineViewDefinition()
           {
               MajorTickLength = sevenDays,
               Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal,
               StretchGroupHeaders = true,
               VisibleDays = 365,
               Title = "Projekt",
               TimerulerGroupStringFormat = "{0:MMM - yyyy}",
               TimerulerMajorTickStringFormat = "{0:ddd}",
               MinTimeRulerExtent = 1600,
               MaxTimeRulerExtent = 1600
           });

This shows the day of week, but i need to show the week number... 

public static int GetWeekNumber(this DateTime date)
      {
          CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
          int wNr = ci.Calendar.GetWeekOfYear(date, CalendarWeekRule.FirstFourDayWeek, DayOfWeek.Monday);
          return wNr;
      }

Hi Benny,

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately, showing the week number into the TimeRuler is not possible, as this String format is not supported by the .NET platform. Please refer to this article for more information about the supported formats.

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Hi,

we need this feature, too. Are there any plans to support this in the future. I understand that the group header formating concept is based on the .NET formating mechanism, but showing the week numbers in the calendar is quite a common request.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Please find attached a simple example which demonstrates how you can show week numbers in the TimeRuler. Download the project and give it a try.

Hi Yana,

thanks for the sample project. This is almost what I needed. From what I can see in this code is that it works only if the first day which is shown in the ScheduleView must be Monday, but what if the user decided to selects different day (Sunday, Friday,...)?
In this case ScheduleView would group the days incorrectly (not from monday - Sunday). Is there any chance to display week correctly in this scenario?

Best regards, Stefan

Hi Yana,

I found the answer to my question here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/scheduleview/month-and-week-columns-in-timeline-view.aspx

I wrote my own TickPrivider in order to format the grouping header correctly. Thanks a lot!

Best regards, Stefan
