Right now, I have attached properties added to the month calendar control and based on the dates that are selected, i am switching the different schedule views and clearing the visible days and updating it with the selected date range.
Please Suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Hariharan
This is actually something we just added in 11.1. We added 2 new schedule controls - xamDateNavigator and xamOutlookCalendarView.
xamDateNavigator is a month calendar similar to the xamMonthCalendar that integrates with the schedule datamanager and has the ability to display bold for dates with activity of the CurrentUser of the xamScheduleDataManager and also can show the activity for a given date in the tooltip for that day.
xamOutlookCalendarView is a composite control that contains day/month/schedule view and switches between the views based on interaction with the control similar to that of Outlook - e.g. clicking on a week header in the month view shifts to week view for that week, clicking a day header in month/day/week view shifts to day view for that day, keyboard shortcuts can switch between modes, and the modes can automatically switch between day/schedule view based on the number of calendars visible (just as they do in outlook). In addition the control exposes a property named DateNavigator that is used to synchronize selection between a month calendar control and the outlook calendar view similar to that of outlook. You can set this property to an instance of a xamDateNavigator (i.e. you would set this property to a Binding whose ElementName is the xamDateNavigator you have within your ui).
Thanks Much! That sure makes it a lot cleaner.
I get the following errors when i bind the collections to the resources and resourcecalendars of the ListScheduleDataConnector.
XamDayView contains no visible calendars. Either set the XamDayView.DataManager.CurrentUserID to a ResourceID with a PrimaryCalendar or add CalendarGroups, containing visible ResourceCalendars, to the XamDayView.DataManager.CalendarGroups collection or the XamDayView.CalendarGroupsOverride collection. XamScheduleView contains no visible calendars. Either set the XamScheduleView.DataManager.CurrentUserID to a ResourceID with a PrimaryCalendar or add CalendarGroups, containing visible ResourceCalendars, to the XamScheduleView.DataManager.CalendarGroups collection or the XamScheduleView.CalendarGroupsOverride collection. XamMonthView contains no visible calendars. Either set the XamMonthView.DataManager.CurrentUserID to a ResourceID with a PrimaryCalendar or add CalendarGroups, containing visible ResourceCalendars, to the XamMonthView.DataManager.CalendarGroups collection or the XamMonthView.CalendarGroupsOverride collection. XamScheduleDataManager.CurrentUserId was not set. Reminders will not be displayed.
Am i Missing anything?
Is this when using the xamOutlookCalendarView or just in general? Those errors are meant to indicate missing information that is required for the controls to be used. In this case it's indicating that the CurrentUserId of the xamScheduleDataManager you are using has not been set and there are no CalendarGroup instance in the CalendarGroups collection. The latter would only be needed if you wanted to display multiple calendars.
My Bad. Let me give you more details. So I wrapped the XamOutlookCalendarView inot my own user control and the UC has three dependency proeprties which are of type IEnumerable for Resources,ResourceCalendars and Appointments. These are inturn bound to ListScheduleDataConnector.
Here is the pseudo code::
UC.xaml.cs:
DP - IEnumerable Resources
DP - IEnumerable ResourceCalendars
DP - IEnumerable Appointments
UC.xaml:
<Schedules:ListScheduleDataConnector HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="listScheduleDataConnector1" VerticalAlignment="Top" ResourceItemsSource="{Binding ResourceMembers, Mode=TwoWay}" ResourceCalendarItemsSource="{Binding ResourceCalendars, Mode=TwoWay}" AppointmentItemsSource="{Binding Appointments, Mode=TwoWay}">
Now my main view has my custom UC in it and binds values for all three lists. But I do not see any calendars in the UI and the messges from my previous post are shown in the output window.
<Controls:OSScheduler DateNavigator="{Binding ElementName=dateNavigator}" ResourceMembers="{Binding WorkQueueFilterList}" Grid.Column="1" ResourceCalendars="{Binding ResourceCalendars}"/

Also, I need to display multiple resources , which means multiple calendars. Do i need to set CurrentUser and CalendarGroupCollections? Shouldn't it internally populate the calendar groups based on the resource calendars?In my case, since its a wrapped user control, there is no direct way for me to set those.
Thank You,
Thanks.That worked.

Yes resources may be removed and the ui should be updated. It could be the same type of timing issue you had with adding the resources. If you still have an issue then please post an updated sample that demonstrates the issue with removing the resources.

Please review the sample project attached in my previous post and suggest a response.
Have you had a chance to look at my attached sample project?
