Creating multiple resources from the Controller and binding to the schedule control.

Hi,

I am trying to create a list of resources dynamically from in the controller, but unable to get the schedule control to bind correctly. It just shows an empty form with now schedule control rendered.

I have created a simple MVC5 project with the code shown below. Any help getting this working would be greatly appreciated. 

cshtml File contents

@(Html.EJ().Schedule("Schedule1")
        .Width("100%")
        .Height("525px")
        .Orientation(Orientation.Horizontal)  
        .CurrentDate(new DateTime(2015, 11, 5))
        .Group(gr => { gr.Resources(ViewBag.Group); })
        .Resources(res =>
         {
             res.Field("ProductCode").Title("Owner").Name("Owners").AllowMultiple(true).ResourceSettings(flds => flds.Datasource((IEnumerable)ViewBag.Owner).Text("Text").Id("Id")).Add();
         })               
        .AppointmentSettings(fields => fields.Datasource(ds => ds.URL("TestSchedular/GetData").Adaptor(AdaptorType.UrlAdaptor))                                       
        .Id("AllocationID")
        .Subject("ProductCode")
        .StartTime("AllocationStartDttm")
        .EndTime("AllocationFinishDttm")
        .Description("Comment")
        .Recurrence("Recurrence")
        .RecurrenceRule("RecurrenceRule")
        .ResourceFields("ProductCode"))

Hi Mahindra,   
   
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.   
   
We have prepared the sample for your requirement “Need to bind the resource from controller” which can be download from the following location:   
   
In the above sample, initially we have rendered the resource from the controller side into Scheduler. Kindly refer to the following code example used in the above sample.   
  
<Code>   
HomeController.cs 
public ActionResult Index() 
        { 
            owner.Add(new Rooms { text = "Nancy", id = 1, groupId = 1, color = "#ffaa00" }); 
            owner.Add(new Rooms { text = "Stephen", id = 2, groupId = 1, color = "#f8a398" }); 
            ViewBag.Owners = owner; 
            List<String> resources = new List<String>(); 
             resources.Add("Owners"); 
            ViewBag.Resources = resources; 
            return View(); 
        } 
Index.cshtml 
.Resources(res => 
        { 
            res.Field("OwnerId").Title("Owner").Name("Owners").AllowMultiple(true) 
            .ResourceSettings(flds => flds.Datasource((System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.Owners).Text("text").Id("id").GroupId("groupId").Color("color")).Add(); 
        }) 
        .Group(gr => 
        { 
            gr.Resources(ViewBag.Resources); 
        }) 
</Code> 
 
Please refer the below link to know more about the resource data binding.   
   
Regards,   
Karthigeyan
