Hi Meppy & Stoyan, may I pick your brains please on how best to deal with this bit of my application?

Following you help on with my recurrence problems I now have my app using the inbuilt appointment and recurrence forms and have changed it so I now make changes to the app.config file and leave the registry alone!   

From a previous post I asked about being able to identify recurrences so I could update the highlighting on the monthview.

All appointments are set on the timetableview calendar.   When any are added or deleted the matching date on the monthview calendar has its highlight set to yellow to signal an appoiment on that date.

As the recurrences are temporary you said I could query the schedule.getallitems method.

However this method requires a date range.

My question is this:

Should I call this method with a start and end date so huge it gets all items from the birth of Christ until the end of mankind or only for the 4 months on current view on the monthview calendar?

Is it better to call this method each time the date range on the monthview changes?

thanks.

BTW when you kindly looked at my app (and cringed I'm sure) you mentioned some bindings that were stopping debugging assemblies from being loaded?

Is this something I need to address here so I get more control over debugging my apps?

Thanks ...

Thanks Meppy, I will take your advice.

Re the possible future problems what exactly was it in my app that caused you problems and me maybe in the future?

Better to address it now!

Thanks

I have entered code in the VisibleDateChanged event of my month view calender to track the 4 months being displayed

I see I can get the previous and new visible dates but they range from the actual current date rather than the 1st and end of month for example:

01/02/2008 - 30/05/2008

I use this

e.NewDate.AddDays(-e.NewDate.Day + 1)

but find this to be messy and to do something similar to get the end day of the 4th month seems even messier!

Any tips?

Thanks

OK I will stick with the calculating method.  I had already tried the GetFirstVisible date etc but these return the dates prior to the caladar being updated?

The e.newdate and e.previousdate are the ones that report the near right info :0

Thanks
