SchedulerExtension.GetAppointmentsToInsert<T>(SchedulerSettings, FetchAppointmentsMethod, Object) Method

Obtains appointments which should be inserted into the data source using the delegate method that enables you to dynamically limit the number of loaded appointments.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5

Declaration

C#

public static T[] GetAppointmentsToInsert<T>(
    SchedulerSettings settings,
    FetchAppointmentsMethod fetchAppointmentsMethod,
    object resourceDataObject
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function GetAppointmentsToInsert(Of T)(
    settings As SchedulerSettings,
    fetchAppointmentsMethod As FetchAppointmentsMethod,
    resourceDataObject As Object
) As T()

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
settings	SchedulerSettings	The name of a Scheduler as it is specified by the SettingsBase.Name property.
fetchAppointmentsMethod	FetchAppointmentsMethod	A FetchAppointmentsMethod delegate that provides appointments to insert.
resourceDataObject	Object	A collection of resources in the scheduler.

Type Parameters

Name
T

Returns

Type	Description
T[]	A Model data class instance that is the entity contained in the appointment data source and mapped to an appointment.

Remarks

Utilizing the GetAppointmentsToInsert<T> method allows you to handle recurring appointments correctly. Now, when an end-user selects and moves multiple recurring appointments at the same time, the corresponding number of database records will be created. For example, if two recurring appointments are moved simultaneously, two records will appear in the database.

Note

Use the GetAppointmentsToInsert<T>(String, Object, MVCxAppointmentStorage, MVCxResourceStorage) overload method to get appointments if you do not need all scheduler settings.
