Hello, I am new to Planner.Net so please bear with me For some reason ... I can not add a resource (and subsequently view the Resource view) properly. I know it must be a simple misunderstanding ... so if the solution already exists, please point me in the correct direction.

OK ... so this is what I am doing (what is wrong):
1) I have created a custom appointment item, lets say called "Party" and I have added the "planner" resources to the base class by calling base.Resources.Add(plannerResource);
2) I add all my parties to a generic List
3) When I go to display the calendar control ... I loop through all my parties in the List<Parties> generic object and and if there is a resource assigned ... I do a calendar.resources.add() for each planner assigned to the party.

Now .. .when I change the calendar view to resources and set the grouptype to resources ... I have a single entry for each planner for each party. This leads to tens of "planners" in the resource view, with each one only having one party. In actuality, I only have 5 planners and numerous parties that each one works on. If I only add resources to the calendar that have not been added, then I only get the 5 planners, but only the first party they are assigned too.

What am I doing wrong when adding the resources to the calendar? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick reply

I retrieve the list of Parties from a SQL Database, and each Party has a number of planners assigned. So I am adding 1 or more planners to each party (as a resource). I add all the parties into a generic list (only because my data access logic is separate from the form that has the calendar control on it).
When the form with the calendar control on it loads, it reads all the parties from the list and adds each party to the calendar control ... while I am adding each party ... I also add each planner to the calendars resource collection.

Based on your comments ... I should not be adding the resource to both the party (appointment) and the calendar resources collection? I basically need to load the resources once and then have each party select the resource.

Yes ... I think that is the case. I add a new planner resource to each Party ... and then when I load all the parties into the calendar I add each party resource ... however, when I try to only add a resource once to the calendar ... then it is still not correct. So ... is this what I should do ...
1) Create one collection of resources.
2) When creating each party appointment just add the resource that is already in the collection.
3) Add the resource collection (from step 1) to the calendar control.

Thanks! That seems to work now. Amazing how things work when you code them properly
