Resources in SfScheduler

[Dominik Bojdo]

Hello,

How can I use resources from SfSchedule in SfScheduler ?

In SfSchedule we can do this:

<Schedule:SfSchedule Name="Schedule1" ScheduleType="Week" Background="WhiteSmoke" Resource="Doctors" >
    <Schedule:SfSchedule.ScheduleResourceTypeCollection >
        <Schedule:ResourceType TypeName="Doctors">
            <Schedule:Resource   DisplayName="Dr.Jacob John, M.D " ResourceName="Dr.Jacob"/>
            <Schedule:Resource  DisplayName="Dr.Darsy Mascio, M.D" ResourceName="Dr.Darsy"/>
        </Schedule:ResourceType>
    </Schedule:SfSchedule.ScheduleResourceTypeCollection>
</Schedule:SfSchedule>

What is the equivalent of this in SfScheduler ?

Hi Dominik, 

 

Thank you for your patience. 

 

We are glad to announce that our Essential Studio 2020 Volume 3 Release version 18.3.0.35 is rolled out with “Resource view feature in SfScheduler” and is available for download(nuget.org). 

 

Please refer the following code snippet for the same, 

ObservableCollection<SchedulerResource> schedulerResources = new ObservableCollection<SchedulerResource>(); 

schedulerResources.Add( 

                new SchedulerResource 

                { 

                    Name = "Sophia", 

                    Id = "5001", 

                    Background = Brushes.GreenYellow, 

                    Foreground = Brushes.White 

                }); 

schedulerResources.Add( 

                new SchedulerResource 

                { 

                    Name = "Daniel", 

                    Id = "5002", 

                    Background = Brushes.Blue, 

                    Foreground = Brushes.Black 

                }); 

 

 Schedule.ResourceCollection = schedulerResources; 

 Schedule.ResourceGroupType = ResourceGroupType.Resource; 

 

 

// Adding appointments with resource collection. 

 ScheduleAppointmentCollection scheduleAppointments = new ScheduleAppointmentCollection(); 

  scheduleAppointments.Add( 

                new ScheduleAppointment 

                { 

                    StartTime = new DateTime(2020, 10, 05, 10, 0, 0), 

                    EndTime = new DateTime(2020, 10, 06, 11, 0, 0), 

                    Subject = "Meeting", 

                    ResourceIdCollection = new ObservableCollection<object> { "5001", "5002" } 

                }); 

 

 

We have prepared a sample with resources in Scheduler. In our sample, we have used custom resource collection with resource mapping.

Hi Karthikraja,

It looks good, but I have another issue. How can I change the height of resources rows in timeline view ? They seems to have fixed height.

[SaiGanesh Sakthivel]

Hi Dominik,  

  

Thank you for the update. 

 

#Regarding How can I change the height of resources rows in timeline view 

We would like to inform you that the height of the resource rows in the timeline view is based on the VisibleResourceCount property from the TimeLineViewSetting, so you can change the height of the resource rows to the desired height by setting the VisibleResourceCount property. Please refer to the following UG link for your reference.

We hope this helps.

When I try to set VisibleResourceCount for value other than 3 I get NullReferenceException.

Hello,

I can confirm, it`s fixed :)

Unfortunately I found another problem with AppointmentDropping event. When we have for example two resources: resource1 and resource2 in timeline view and when I drag and drop appointment from resource1 to resource2 and I want to cancel this drop in AppointmentDropping by setting e.Cancel = true it doesn't work. Appointment goes to resource2 - even though it should stay in resource1. I tried this on another views and it`s the same - cancelling doesn't work.
