PROBLEM

The following error is encountered when the RadScheduler1.TimelineView.NumberOfSlots property is set to a big number and the column width is set in pixels so that Horizontal scroll appears. The issue is reproduced by having an appointment staring in one of the last slots in the view.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.7.3163.0

 

DESCRIPTION

The position of an appointment is saved and uses Microsoft's Unit struct, which has a limited range - The Unit class can represent values only between -32768 and 32767.

SOLUTION

As this is a limitation of the .NET Framework's struct, the possible workarounds are: 

  • Decreasing the number of slots per view;
  • Decreasing the width of the slots;
  • Removing the horizontal scrolling by setting the column width in percentages;
