Hi,

I added some events in the calendar. The events are recurrent Events. At times, I try to get a reference to the object using the ID, especially when I am not looking at the event, dataprovider.getEvent(int id) returns null, meaning that the event does not exist, event if it does exist.

Is it possible that the Id of the master event changes or that the Dataprovider returns null when I pass the masterID? Is it also possible that the ID change when i change view?

Thnks

WaaZ

Hi,

Please note that event ID can be changed by the data provider only when you add event to the data provider (using AddEvent method).
After event is added its ID becomes permanent.
If you need to remember event ID, you can do that after AddEvent call.


pDataProvider.AddEvent(pEvent);
nMyID = pEvent.Id;

Note also that ocurrence has a temporary event ID because this is not a persistent object. The ocurrence event object is generated every time when calendar call GetDayEvents method of data provider and each time the same ocurrence will have different IDs.

That's because GetEvent(id) returns null for ocurrences (and for exceptions as well).
