Using ScheduleAppointmentMapping with resources

[Eiad Al-khanshour]

I have a database with employee and their appointments (Each appointment has one parent user, and each user may have many appointments), and these classes are located in a shared (.NET Standard) library. How can I bind Schedule.ItemsSource to my business objects and use the employee class as resources (How can I use the ScheduleAppointmentMapping to set my controls).

Best Regards

Hi Eiad Al-khanshour, 

 

Thanks for contacting syncfusion support. 

  

We have checked query  “How can I bind Schedule.ItemsSource to my business objects and use the employee class as resources” at our end. We have facing an issues in SfSchedule while preparing the sample for your requirement. So, currently we have logged the bug report ”Null reference exception occurred in SfSchedule when ScheduleType set to Month” and we will provide a patch with sample on August 22^nd, 2019.

Thank you for the great efforts from your side....

I've got the same problem even in DAY VIEW, whenever I use my business object Employee as resource and set the Resource property in SfSchedule. However, I've managed to solve the exception issue by binding the ScheduleResourceTypeCollection property to a collection of Employee, and use a converter to change the collection into a ResourceType and Resource objects.... but here i could not found a sutable way to expose resource in my Appointment object without refrencing the your WPF library.

Waiting for your solution.... Best Regards

Hi Eiad Al-khanshour,  

 

Thanks for your update. 

   

We have prepared sample as per your requirement “How can I bind Schedule.ItemsSource to my business objects and use the employee class as resources”. Please find the code snippet and sample for your reference. As stated in previous update we are facing issue with Month view type and we will provide fix for the same on 22/08/2019. 

 

Code Snippet: 

scheduleResourceTypeCollection.Add(new ResourceType() {  TypeName = " Employee " });
            ScheduleAppointmentModel appointment1 = new ScheduleAppointmentModel()
            {
                StartTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(5),
                EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(6),
                SubjectMapping = "Johny's Appointment",
            };
            appointment1.Resources.Add(new MappedResource() { MappedTypeName = "Employee", MappedResourceName = "Johny", MappedDisplayName = "Johny" }); 

  

            ScheduleAppointmentModel appointment2 = new ScheduleAppointmentModel()
            {
                StartTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(6),
                EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(7),
                SubjectMapping = "Neal's Appointment"
            }; 

  

            appointment2.Resources.Add(new MappedResource() { MappedTypeName = " Employee ", MappedResourceName = "Neal", MappedDisplayName = "Neal" }); 

  

            ScheduleAppointmentModel appointment3 = new ScheduleAppointmentModel()
            {
                StartTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2).AddHours(7),
                EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2).AddHours(8),
                SubjectMapping = "Peter's Appointment"
            }; 

  

            appointment3.Resources.Add(new MappedResource() { MappedTypeName = " Employee ", MappedResourceName = "Peter", MappedDisplayName = "Peter" }); 

  

            scheduleAppointmentCollection.Add(appointment1);
            scheduleAppointmentCollection.Add(appointment2);
            scheduleAppointmentCollection.Add(appointment3); 

  

            ScheduleResourceTypeCollection[0].ResourceCollection.Add(appointment1.Resources[0]);
            ScheduleResourceTypeCollection[0].ResourceCollection.Add(appointment2.Resources[0]);
            ScheduleResourceTypeCollection[0].ResourceCollection.Add(appointment3.Resources[0]);

Thank you for the quick respond...

Every thing work fine now in all views.... It was not clear to me that I've to use TypeNameMapping and DisplayNameMapping for the properties of Employee object. However, the sample has a bit small note, the view model class has some platform UI code (ResourceType), and I prefer to use converter to convert the resource (Employee) collection to  a resource type collection..... I've attached a small sample for that..

Best regards and million thanks...

Hi Eiad Al-khanshour, 

 

Thanks for your patience. 

 

We checked your query “Use of TypeNameMapping and DisplayNameMapping”  at our end. TypeNameMapping property represents the mapping of schedule appointment of multiple users (John, Neal) from the Employee class. DisplayNameMapping  property represents the display name of  the scheduled appointment of the resources from the Employee class e.g(Dr Johny, Dr Neal). Please find the screenshot below.
