Component One Scheduler

Question

I am strruggling to get an answer from componentone so I am kind of hoping someone on here can answer.

When using the Scheduler , it appears to insert all the data into a properties field  even though you link it to Categories/Resources table.

Is there anyone on here been able to capture data ie the Resource Id when iserting the appointment ?

Thanks

Martin

Answer 1

To grab the contact at the time of appointment creation, the AppointmentActionEventArgs has an Appointment property,

which has a Links property that returns a ContactsList.  

Found a hint I dont suppose anyone can explain how to go about doing it ?

Answer 2

After researching this issue, sorry for cannot reach the solution.

For I don't know how the control works, I suggest you to try to ask in the componentone'forums again for more information.

Answer 4

Just incase anyone else has this issue.

The answer was there all along just in a post I didnt pick up on.

http://our.componentone.com/groups/lightswitch/scheduler-for-lightswitch/forum/topic/relationships-between-appointment-contact-and-resource-entity/

Basically you have to parse the xml properties field and pull the data from there.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Microsoft.LightSwitch;
 
namespace LightSwitchApplication
{
    public partial class Appointment
    {
        partial void Contacts_Compute(ref string result)
        {
            XDocument properties = XDocument.Parse(this.Properties);
            IEnumerable<XElement> rows = properties.Root.Descendants("Links");
            List<string> names = new List<string>();
 
            if (rows.Any())
            {
                XElement links = rows.First();
 
                foreach (XElement obj in links.Elements())
                {
                    string id = obj.Attribute("Id").Value;
                    Guid g = new Guid(id);
                    var contacts = this.DataWorkspace.ApplicationData.Contacts.Where(c => c.Guid.Equals(g));
                    names.Add(contacts.Single().DisplayName);
                }
            }
 
            result = String.Join(", ", names);
        }
    }
}
