Have you enabled saving recurrences by setting the appropriate data members in the Calendar control (that is, RecurrencesDataMember, RecurrenceExceptionsDataMember etc.)?

Hi, I have a number of issues regarding the creating and maintaining of recurrences, as follows:

1.
After I have made all the required entries to a new recurrence I set the items recurrence like this:

myItem.Recurrence = myNewRecurrence

The calendar is correctly updated with the recurrence details.

When I step thru the code myItem.Recurrence correctly displays the newly created recurrence.

But when I save the data back to the table the data is saved correctly to each table except the Recurrence field in the Item table remains null (nothing)?

The recurrencestate field displays 3 instead of 0 signally to me that it knows it has a recurrence?

Is this happening because in the call to the SaveToDataSource method the Recurrence table is updated AFTER the Item table meaning at point of save there is no Key present in the Recurrence value to save to the Item table?

2.
As soon as I assign the recurrence to the item.recurrence property the calendar automatically updates to display an appointment for each occurence.

But none of the methods of the calendar get called to signal an appointment has been created?  This means my month view calendar does not display highlights on each day a occurence recurs?

3.
The user guide refers to fields that do not appear in a Recurrence object, namely:

recurrence.StartHour
recurrence.StartMinute
recurrence.EndHour
recurrence.EndMinute

Am I missing something as my version does not have these fields?

4.
Currently I get 1 row for an appointment in the Item table and 1 row for a recurrence in the Recurrence table.

If I have a daily recurrence to recur 3 times and I then edit the 2nd occurence to start at a different time where is this diffence stored as I cannot see in the Recurrence table how it would store multiple start and end times in a single row?

Sorry for the mass of questions .....

Thanks

Here is the code I use to populate the recurrence:

 With grecRecurrence

		    ' daily = 0,  weekly = 1, monthly = 2

		    .Pattern = mindRecurrencePattern

		    .MonthlyRecurrence = MonthlyRecurrence.ByDayNumber

		    .YearlyRecurrence = YearlyRecurrence.ByDayType

		    ' the starting date of the recurrence

		    .StartDate = Me.dtmRangeStartDate.Value

		    ' the end pattern of the recurrence

		    .RecurrenceEnd = mindRecurrenceEnd

		    ' number of time recurrence will recur

		    .NumOccurrences = Me.updRangeReccurence.Value

		    ' the end date of this recurrence

		    .EndDate = Me.dtmRangeEndDate.Value

		    ' every day = 0,  every week day = 1,  every weekend day = 2

		    .DailyRecurrence = mindDailyRecurrence

		    ' the number of days between recurrences

		    .Days = Me.updPatternRecurrence.Value

		    ' set to 1 as this is only used when set to a monthly recurrence

		    .DayOfMonth = 1

		    ' set to 1 as this is only used when set to a weekly recurrence

		    .Weeks = 1

		    ' the day of week that the recurrence starts on

		    .DaysOfWeek = mindDaysOfWeek

		    ' set to 1 as this is only used when set to a weekly recurrence

		    .Months = 1

		    .Occurrence = Occurrence.First

		    .Day = DayOfWeekType.AnyDay
end with
 

then I do myItem.Recurrence = grecRecurrence and it all matches etc.

The calendar displays the recurrence correctly even after I close and reopen the app so the data is getting saved only the recurrence field does not get populated with the recurrence key?

I will look into the getallitems method and see what happens thanks.

3.

I have a full registered copy and the help file came with that?  Has an update been released that I have not been informed about?

4.

Ah I see, I have not got that far into it yet!

Thanks

Here is a link to the most recent version of Planner.NET Documentation:

https://mindfusion.org/_planner/_Planner.NET_help.zip

As for point 1, I can't seem to understand what is the problem if recurrences save and load fine from the database. Any more details?

Indeed, it appears that some of the sample code snippets within documentation have not been updated to reflect the recent changes in Planner.NET. We will search for such snippets and update them accordingly.
