Reading the Recurrence Rule

The recurrence rule is incomplete without the start and end date of the first occurrence.

You need to set them to the StartDate and EndDate properties before retrieving the recurrence rule.

The following example builds the recurrence rule by reading the Start and End date from two RadDatePickers on the page:

C#

	     
	
protected void SaveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{    
	RecurrenceEditor1.StartDate = StartDate.SelectedDate.Value;    
	RecurrenceEditor1.EndDate = EndDate.SelectedDate.Value;
	// Read the recurrence rule    RecurrenceRule rrule = RecurrenceEditor1.RecurrenceRule;
	// Or directly as string    string rruleText = RecurrenceEditor1.RecurrenceRuleText;
}
				

VB.NET

	     
	
Protected Sub SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
	RecurrenceEditor1.StartDate = StartDate.SelectedDate.Value
	RecurrenceEditor1.EndDate = EndDate.SelectedDate.Value
	' Read the recurrence rule Dim rrule As RecurrenceRule = RecurrenceEditor1.RecurrenceRule
	' Or directly as string Dim rruleText As String = RecurrenceEditor1.RecurrenceRuleTextEnd Sub
End Sub
