Thanks Much! That sure makes it a lot cleaner.

Ok, I added code to internally populate calendar groups.

 All my custom objects have the same property names as the Infragistics entities for Resources,ResourceCalendars and Appointments. And in the ListScheduleDataConnector I am setting the "UseDefaultMapping" to TRUE. This picks all required properties, however, to display the calendar, it is not picking the BaseColor Property from my entity, event though I have it populated it with my custom color.

Please Suggest.

ThankYou,

I also tried doing the custom proeprty mapping .That did not help either. It is not picking the color property value .

The only other option that i see is to manually create ResourceCalendars in code from my custom list and assign it to the datamanager. That way I can assign the color of the Calendar in code. But this wont be clean.

Is there something that I should be doing in the xaml while doing property mapping so that it pick the color property. Also since my entity has the same property names as the Infragistics ResourceCalendars , I should just be using the UseDefaultValues. It picks other attributes like Id,Name but not BaseColor.

I tried this out and the BaseColor is working correctly. I've attached a sample that demonstrates this working. If you still have an issue then please provide a sample that demonstrates the issue.

Thanks much for the sample project.

Apparently I had the wrong color property, i was using System.Drawing.Color.

I am still having trouble with the calendar groups. Like i mentioned in the previous post, i am internally creating calendar groups. So after my control is loaded with a set of resource calendars, I am adding a new resource and for each newly added resource I am adding a resource calendar and also I am adding the same to calendar groups. When i go look at the colelctions in the list connector and the data manager, all lists (Resources,ResourceCalendars and CalendarGroups) show the newly added item, but the UI wont display it. All my objects have IsVisible set to true.

Should I be doing something different when i have to add new resources from runtime? The functionality I am trying to implement is similar to "Open Shared Calendars" in Outlook, where your initial view has only your calendars, but u can choose to view other people's calendars by choosing the resources and calendars. In my case, the requirement is  for every resource i choose a create a new calendar, I am not expecting the resource to have a calendar already. So i am adding the resource to the resource collection , creating a resource calendar and adding to the collection and adding to the calendar group. Also note, I am using my custom object with proeprty mappings as you suggested.

The initial calendars load fine when the control is loaded.Just that when i add resources later, it will not show their calendars.

Please Suggest.

Thank You,

Thanks.That worked.

am also having an issue while removing a resource from the list at runtime. I assume that the scheduler supports adding and removing resources and resource calendars at runtime ?

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.

Next Type any name in the textbox below and click on the "Add"  Button. This adds a new resource , and the calendar and creates the calendar group, but the calendar is not visible in the scheduler

        private void OnCalendarsChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
   this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(this.OnCalendarsChangedImpl), sender, e);
  }

  private void OnCalendarsChangedImpl(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
  {
   /// this is where you do what you originally had in the OnCalendarsChanged...

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?
