Dear Sir/Madam,

First my warm congratulations to your great planner control - its fantastic!

But I struggle with some recurrence issues.
I want to make recurrence rules for some very common tasks:

1) a Birthdays that appears yearly on a specific day.
One of many approaches was:

app = new Appointment();
app.StartTime = new DateTime(2009, 5, 6, 12, 0, 0);
app.EndTime = new DateTime(2009, 5, 6, 14, 0, 0);
app.HeaderText = "subject";
app.DescriptionText = "any";

Recurrence rec = new MindFusion.Scheduling.Recurrence();
rec.StartDate = new DateTime(2009, 5, 6);
//rec.EndDate = new DateTime(2009, 12, 31);
rec.Pattern = RecurrencePattern.Yearly;
rec.YearlyRecurrence = YearlyRecurrence.SpecificDate;
rec.RecurrenceEnd = RecurrenceEnd.Never;
app.Recurrence = rec;
calendar.Schedule.Items.Add(app);

Either the occurrences doesnt appears at all or the occurrences are all at the first day of the given month.


2.) For a given single appointment I want to make a recurrence with the following rule: show it monthly at starttime of the appointment AND is one of the occurrences a weekend day set it to the next monday. I have a solution with an interval of 30 days but I can't avoid the occurrences at weekends.
I think this a a very natural user behavior. How can I achieve that.

Hi,

thanks you for the fast response.

For birthday solution I've found the same way too at weekend.


I'm not so famliar with exception of recurrences but are exceptions a propper way to shift appointments to another day by regarding any rules?
Or what are exceptions for?

If your thinking of this problem please include  celebration days. Its the same kind of problem.
I think a custom list of dates with national holydays could be a good approach.
