issue with multi days appointments

[Carlos]

Hi,

I'm using the schedulecontrol in Windows Forms and I have been able to verify that when there are several multi days appointments in a month, it only shows one of these appointments. I am using version 16.1.0.37 of this control.
Could you please provide a sample application that works? This example does not work and only shows one multi day appointment of 4.

ArrayListDataProvider scheduleProvider;   

scheduleProvider = new SimpleArrayListProvider();   

scheduleProvider.MasterList =SimpleArrayListProvider.InitializeRandomData();   

this.scheduleControl1.DataSource = scheduleProvider;   

   

//Default value is true.   

this.scheduleControl1.ShowMultiDayAppointmentsAsSpans =true;   

Thanks

Hi Carlos, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

If you want to add an appointment for multi days, you can use SimpleScheduleDataProvider as datasource to the schedule control. We have prepared a simple sample as per your requirement. In the sample,  GetSchedule() method is overridden. By overriding the method, the appointment will be generated individually  for the days from StartDate to the End Date. Please refer to the below code and sample, 

 

Code Example 

public override IScheduleAppointmentList GetSchedule(System.DateTime startDate, System.DateTime endDate) 

{ 

     ScheduleAppointmentList list = new ScheduleAppointmentList(); 

     System.DateTime start = startDate.Date; 

     System.DateTime end = endDate.Date; 

 

     if (ScheduleList != null && ScheduleList.Count > 0) 

     { 

         return list; 

     } 

 

     foreach (ScheduleAppointment item in this.MasterList) 

     { 

         if ((item.StartTime.Date >= start && item.StartTime.Date <= end) || (item.EndTime.AddMinutes(-1).Date > start && item.EndTime.Date <= end)) 

         { 

             if (item.StartTime < item.EndTime) 

             { 

                 int count = ((TimeSpan)(item.EndTime.Date - item.StartTime.Date)).Days + 1; 

                 System.DateTime meanDate = DateTime.Now; 

                 System.DateTime meanStartDate = DateTime.Now; 

                 System.DateTime tempEndTime = DateTime.Now; 

                 bool intialized = true; 

 

                 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) 

                 { 

                     IScheduleAppointment item1 = item.Clone() as IScheduleAppointment; 

                     if (intialized) 

                     { 

                         meanStartDate = item.StartTime; 

                         meanDate = item.EndTime.Date; 

                         tempEndTime = item.EndTime; 

                         intialized = false; 

                     } 

                     else 

                     { 

                         item1.StartTime = meanStartDate.AddDays(i).Date; 

                     } 

                     if (item.StartTime.Date < meanDate) 

                     { 

                         item1.EndTime = item1.StartTime.Date; 

                     } 

                     else if (item.StartTime.Date.Equals(meanDate)) 

                     { 

                         item1.EndTime = tempEndTime; 

                     } 

                     list.Add(item1); 

                 } 

             } 

             else 

             { 

                 list.Add(item); 

             } 

         } 

     } 

     list.SortStartTime(); 

     ScheduleList = list; 

     return list; 

}

Hi Sindhu,

Thanks for your answer but this is not what I need.

According to the attached example, when there are several recorded appointments in the file and some take several days, the load of these days in the schedule control does it incorrectly. In particular there are 4 multiday appointments and only the first is shown.

I need to show it in multiday format (this.scheduleControl1.ShowMultiDayAppointmentsAsSpans = true)

thank you for your patience.

Hi Carlos,  

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

We have analyzed your provided sample. In your sample you have used ArrayListDataProvider. If you use the ArrayListDataProvider as a datasource of ScheduleControl, you should differentiate the every appointment by unique id. So, you can resolve this issue by using UniqueId and RecurrenceRuleId property. Please refer to the below code example and the sample, 

 

Code example 

ArrayListAppointmentList masterlist = new ArrayListAppointmentList(); 

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) 

{ 

    ArrayListAppointment item = masterlist.NewScheduleAppointment() as ArrayListAppointment; 

 

    int dayOffSet = 30 - r.Next(60); 

 

    int hourOffSet = 24 - r.Next(48); 

 

    len += (i + 1); 

    item.StartTime = now.AddDays(i); 

    item.EndTime = item.StartTime.AddDays(2);// ((double)len); 

    item.Subject = string.Format("subject{0}", i); 

    item.Content = string.Format("content{0}", i); 

    item.LabelValue = i%10; 

    item.LocationValue = string.Format("location{0}", r1.Next(5)); 

 

    item.UniqueID = this.GetUniqueID(); 

    if (item.RecurrenceRuleID == -1) 

        item.RecurrenceRuleID = item.UniqueID; 

 

    item.ReminderValue = r1.Next(10) < 5 ? 0 : r1.Next(12); 

    item.Reminder = r1.Next(10) > 1; 

    item.AllDay = r1.Next(10) < 1; 

    item.MarkerValue = r1.Next(4); 

    item.Dirty = false; 

    masterlist.Add(item); 

}
