The problem with the code is actually not to do with the time, since I've had a temporary DateTime variable to make sure that the same time is used for the recurrencePattern and the exception event.

The actual problem in the code is that MakeAsRExceptionEx does not put the event in the collection in masterEv.RecurrencePattern.Exceptions. This means that the provided code result in masterEv not having an instance of EventEx in the collection of its exceptions.

the code: *******************************

Please, can I have a sample that demonstrates how this can be achieved.

Thanks

Hi serge,

I've tried this in my code and the result is that it is having an exception and its not overwriting the one that occurs that same day and same time. How do I make it overwrite a recurrence?

CalendarEvent masterEv = CalendarControl.DataProvider.CreateEvent();

//DateTime tempdate = DateTime.Now;

masterEv.Subject = "Master Ev";

masterEv.Location = "Master Loca";

CalendarRecurrencePattern RecurEv = masterEv.CreateRecurrence();

DateTime dtStart = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, 13, 8, 0);

DateTime dtRecurencePattern_Start = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Ticks);

// duration

RecurEv.StartTime = DateTime.Now;

RecurEv.DurationMinutes = 60;

// period

dtRecurencePattern_Start = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-4);

RecurEv.StartDate = dtRecurencePattern_Start;

dtRecurencePattern_Start = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);

RecurEv.EndDate = dtRecurencePattern_Start;

RecurEv.Options.RecurrenceType = CalendarRecurrenceType.xtpCalendarRecurrenceDaily;

RecurEv.Options.DailyEveryWeekDayOnly = false;

RecurEv.Options.DailyIntervalDays = 1;

masterEv.UpdateRecurrence(RecurEv);

CalendarControl.DataProvider.AddEvent(masterEv);

/************/

/************/

CalendarEvent excepEv = CalendarControl.DataProvider.CreateEventEx(masterEv.Id);

excepEv.StartTime = DateTime.Now;

excepEv.EndTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(60);

excepEv.Subject = "Excep Ev";

excepEv.MakeAsRExceptionEx(RecurEv.Id);

CalendarControl.DataProvider.AddEvent(excepEv);

CalendarControl.DataProvider.ChangeEvent(masterEv);

isNewEventfromUi = false;

.............

Thnx

I have done this also and have also put ChangeEvent(), but it does not change anything..

Is there some steps (some method calls) i need to make sure to have done so that it works? for instance, i have cloned the masterEvent itself, then MakeAsRExceptionEx() with masterEv.RecurrencePattern.Id.

Thnks

Thank you for the reply, it is really helpful. I have some other problem with this:

What if at loading time, I am retrieving data from an external soucre (database or webservices) and that I need to create a CalendarEvent object with recurrences and exceptions. I will create an exception as follows since I have access to only the masterEvent:

CalendarEvent masterEv = CalendarControl.DataProvider.CreateEvent();

Then I will clone this event so that I can create an Exception out of it as follows:

CalendarEvent ExcepEv = masterEv.CloneEvent();

ExcepEv.MakeAsRException();

ExcepEv.Description = FromExternalSource.getField("description");

// and so on

How do I  attach ExcepEv with masterEv since it is not working. I am not having the exception displayed on the screen. I have tried :

which is not working either.

Note: I do not have access to HitTest and I cannot get access to any CalendarEven object of type :

Recurrence state == xtpCalendarRecurrenceOccurrence

since I do not have access to the UI. I am at the initialization stage of the calendar with events date received from an external source.

Thanks
