Hello Diyan

I am using a custom appointment dialog (a user control) and I would like to close the window via code once the user has pressed (my custom) save button. Then I save the brand new data to the database and I would like to:

1) Close your window (the one hosting my usercontrol) via code

2) Notify the XamOutlookCalendarView that it needs to refresh its appointments

Is that possible?

Hi Imanuel,

Thanks for your reply... I have been able to handle the event...

Have another question as under:

I understand that we need to map the properties to their respective object.properties (for e.g appointment properties - id, description etc..)

What do I need to do in case myown object i.e. MyAppointment has few more properties than those defined by the tool. Is there a way wherein I can save my own properties to be saved/retrieved along with the pre-defined existing ones?

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Deven

singhdeven,

This is what I did to accomplish this.

using Infragistics.Controls.Schedules;

namespace My.Controls.Schedules
{
    public class DataConnector : ListScheduleDataConnector
    {
        protected override ActivityBase CreateNew(ActivityType activityType, out Infragistics.DataErrorInfo errorInfo)
        {
            errorInfo = null;
            return new MyAppointment();
        }
    }
}

In order to work with the cutsom appointment, you will need to override the CreateNew method in what ever type of Connector you will be using.  This is the where the calendar and appointment dialog get it's appointment from.

Hi,

Once I have modified the AppointmentDialog to include some of my own fields/properties, how do I save the same?

I can extend the appointment class and add properties of my own so as to achieve this. However while saving it tries to save the default appointment object and gives an error because it is expecting an appointment of my own type. Now how do I override the following events to handle this:

• Saving of the appointment when the user clicks on the Save button on the dialog
• When the user drag/drops (pressing Ctrl) to make a copy of the appointment
• When the user directly enters a text for a timeslot and appointment is to be created for the timeslot.

Thanks,

Deven

Hi Deven,

You should copy and include the whole generic.xaml file in your project or only to copy the resources that you need from it into your project. Hope this helps!

Thanks,
