Hello
I am having issues with getting my calendar to pull the itemcontacts information from a mysql db. I get the items in the single month view however when I switch to resource view and try to group by contacts and show item assigneed to contact I do not get that info. Im sure I am just missing something...

here is the code in my page load:
Private Overloads Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
       Calendar1.Schedule.Clear()
       DataSet1.Clear()

       ReminderTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.reminder)
       StyleTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.style)
       CustombrushesTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.custombrushes)
       ContactTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.contact)
       LocationTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.location)
       ResourceTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.resource)
       TaskTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.task)
       ItemTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.item)
       ItemcontactsTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.itemcontacts)
       ItemresourcesTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.itemresources)
       RecurrenceTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrence)
       RecurrenceexceptionTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrenceexception)
       RecurrenceexceptionsTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrenceexceptions)



       'Calendar1.LoadFromDataSource()

       'Calendar1.BeginInit()
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Clear()
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(0))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(2))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(3))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(4))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(5))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(6))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(7))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(8))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(9))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(10))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(11))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(12))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(13))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(14))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(15))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(16))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(18))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(19))
       'Calendar1.Contacts.Add(Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts(17))

       'Calendar1.GroupType = MindFusion.Scheduling.WinForms.GroupType.GroupByContacts
       'Calendar1.EndInit()


    End Sub

I commented it out just to try something new. I can get the contacts in the calendar through that method but not the items.

Well, a code similar to the one you commented out seems to be the key to this problem. That is, when you load appointments and contacts back from the data source, you have to instruct the calendar to group by the newly loaded contacts and discard the previous ones:

Calendar1.BeginInit()
Calendar1.Contacts.Clear()
Dim c as Contact
For Each c In _calendar.Schedule.Contacts
      Calendar1.Contacts.Add(c)
Next
Calendar1.EndInit()

Below is the complete loading code that works well for me:

Calendar1.Schedule.Clear()
DataSet1.Clear()

ReminderTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.reminder)
StyleTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.style)
CustomBrushesTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.customBrushes)
ContactTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.contact)
LocationTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.location)
ResourceTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.resource)
TaskTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.task)
ItemTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.item)
ItemContactsTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.itemcontacts)
ItemResourcesTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.itemresources)
RecurrenceTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrence)
RecurrenceExceptionTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrenceexception)
RecurrenceExceptionsTableAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1.recurrenceexceptions)

Calendar1.LoadFromDataSource()

Calendar1.BeginInit()
Calendar1.Contacts.Clear()
Dim c As Contact
For Each c In Calendar1.Schedule.Contacts
      Calendar1.Contacts.Add(c)
Next
Calendar1.EndInit() 

Try it at your place and let me know if its working.

Is there any other ideas on this Im at a lose and I am long overdue on delivering this project to my company after it was purchased. Any help is greatly  appreciated...

Thanks Meppy. I have sent the project to your address.

Meppy,
I am still not getting the items in the calendar? have you noticed anything else? Were you running the mysql insert or access?

Thanks meppy.
It works now.
