Good day. I have downloaded and am currently evaluating the EO.Web Controls Calendar class to create an online scheduler application that will be a) read-only for most users, but b) editable for administrative personnel. I have installed and modified the demo sufficiently to get it working - almost. My problem is that while I am able to enter events into the calendar and save them, they are not persistent and do not show up when I log back into the site later. I had assumed that the hash table gets stored and resued, but this does not appear to be the case.

Am I missing something?

Do I have to purchase the lecense first for this to work?

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Usually you should persist the result into a backend database. The scheduler is a front-end UI element like a textbox. The sample code shows you how to maintain the data in memory (as a hashtable). However in order to maintain it permanently, you usually need to write it into the database. Since we do not know your database structure, the control itself does not include any code to store them into DB, just like a TextBox control doesn't contain such code either.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thank you. I came to the same conclusion shortly after my initial correspondance - though I was hoping for a [Magic] button to make it all work ;)

We can't make the magic happen because different people wants different magics! :) Sorry about that!
