Topic: Custom Calendar with Multiple Resources

Does anybody have any samples of using the calendar with a custom data provider and using multiple resources in VB2008 (other than the codejock sample which I can't open as I don't have VB6)?
I am having difficulty getting the DoXXX events to fire, so if somebody could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Many thanks in advance.

What stings do you use for provider? This string should cause the event to fire.

ConnectionStringCustom = "Provider=custom;DSN=Custom_DB"
CalendarControl.SetDataProvider ConnectionStringCustom

Yes, I am using "Provider=custom;".
Just to clarify a little, the events are loaded and displayed ok, but if I try to edit a recurrence event the DoReadRPattern does not fire?
When using a custom provider do you need to code ALL of the DoXXX events to do something and do they need to be in a perticular order?

Incase anyone needs this, a new Custom Calendar sample was added to show how to work with a custom data provider including recurrences and multiple-schedules.

Here is a note about recurrences and custom providers:

ONLY in memory\built-in providers with the master event store the recurrence patter.

' "process_RecurrenceState" and "process_RecurrencePatternID" properties
  ' are used to process master events.
  '
  ' If they are set and RecurrenceState is Master Data provider will
  ' fire DoReadRPattern event and make event as Master.
  ' And it will also generate ocurrences for RetrieveDayEvents method.
  '
  ' These properties are temporary and they will be removed by data provider.
  '
  ' If these properties are not set the data provider will expect that the master event
  ' is already completed - CreateRecurrence method is called and
  ' Recurrence pattern is set.
  '
  ' This mechanism is usefull for DB data providers, when events and patterns
  ' are stored separately (in tables).
  ' But if events are stored in some memory collection or array
  ' it should not be used because the master event store recurrence pattern inside.

I've looked throught he articles and tutorials and can't find any reference to a new calendar sample.
Does the latest ActiveX suite have to be downloaded to get this new sample or is there some other way of getting to it?
