To reproduce: DateTime dtStart = DateTime.Today.AddDays(2).AddHours(10); DateTime dtEnd = DateTime.Today.AddDays(2).AddHours(12); Appointment appointment = new Appointment(dtStart, dtEnd, "TEST", "Description"); this.radScheduler1.Appointments.Add(appointment); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ar-SA"); Try to open the edit dialog. Workaround: create a custom dialog that inherits RadSchedulerDialog and implements IEditAppointmentDialog. Thus, you will be able to handle the whole edit operation. public class Scheduler : RadScheduler { protected override IEditAppointmentDialog CreateAppointmentEditDialog() { return new MyDialog(); } public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadScheduler).FullName; } } } public partial class MyDialog : RadSchedulerDialog, IEditAppointmentDialog { public MyDialog() { InitializeComponent(); } Appointment appointment; protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad(e); //an example how specify the start date RadDateTimePicker dtStart = this.Controls[0] as RadDateTimePicker; dtStart.Value = this.appointment.Start; } public void ShowRecurrenceDialog() { //ToDo } public bool EditAppointment(Telerik.WinControls.UI.IEvent appointment, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ISchedulerData schedulerData) { this.appointment = appointment as Appointment; return true; } }
