One of Infragistics' main competitors is introducing a new scheduling component and that component has some features I have been wishing for in the Infragistics scheduler for some time.
The main thing I need desperately is the ability to drag an appointment around. With the new component I mentioned above you can drag to reschedule within the same day (as Infragistics also allows) AND you can drag to a different day (which Infragistics does not allow). My customers say (and I agree) it makes no sense to be able to only drag within a single day when a whole week is displayed.
Also the new component lets me drag an appt from one resource to another when displaying multiple resources.
I'm hoping someone from Infragistics will read this and provide some sort of roadmap for the scheduler component. Or maybe they are done with enhancing this component?
Thanks for the feedback and rest assured we are certainly not done adding features to th WebSchedule controls. While I cannot be really specific since it is our policy not to talk about features before they are committed to, I can tell you that we have several fairly significant improvements for the WebSchedule family controls in the queue. I will make sure to add your feedback to our Enhancement Request list so that it gets included in our roadmaps.

Devin,
thanx for your reply. I guess I will wait for another release to see if anything is being updated in the scheduler. last year felt like not much happened except for gauges (which I don't really have a use for!); I sure hope 2008 won't be as quiet.
I need to know whether there are any near-term improvements planned for the web scheduler. By near-term mean .NET 2008 Volume 2 or at least by .NET 2008 Volume 3. By now you must be pretty clear on what is happening (or not happening) in the next version at least as it relates to the web scheduler. My concern is that you have released the web scheduler and abandoned it.
I really hope to hear something positive about this as we are preparing for a switch to another component vendor otherwise. Thanks.
