Finding timeslots without appointments within them and displaying available timeslots to the user
posted

Hello all,

I'm using an UltraDayView to let the user add/resize/drag/schedule appointments on a daily or weekly basis. I'd like to know if there's a simplistic way to calculate what timeslots don't contain any appointments within them from the week standpoint, and then display that list to the user, asking them to account for the empty timeslots.

For example, if my "week" contains Friday through Thursday, and I have an empty timeslot on Monday at 1:00pm, I'd like to add the "1:00 - 2:00 on Monday" timeslot to a list, then pop up a message box displaying that "1:00 - 2:00 on Monday" doesn't have time accounted for it, and it needs to be filled in before any other action can be taken.

Does this functionality currently exist? If not, are there any suggestions on how I might achieve this behavior?

Thanks!

    Has there been any reviewing of this forum post?

    To clarify what I have so far, here it is:

    For Each timeslot in udvSchedule.TimeSlots

    If ucimain.GetAppointmentsInRange(weekStartDate, weekEndDate).Count > 0 Then

    availableTimeslots.Add(timeslot)

    End If

    Next

    If availableTimeslots.Count > 0 Then

    Dim sb as StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()

    sb.AppendLine("There are " & availableTimeslots.Count.ToString & " timeslots empty on your calendar. The following timeslots need to be accounted for before you can continue: ")

    For Each ts in availableTimeslots

    sb.AppendLine(ts.StartTime.Date.ToString & " " & ts.StartTime.TimeOfDay.ToString & " - " & ts.EndTime.Date.ToString & " " ts.EndTime.TimeOfDay.ToString)

    Next

    MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK)

    End If

     

    With the above code, I'm currently getting 36 available timeslots, which I'm pretty sure isn't correct. And the .Date property of the TimeSlot isn't populated and reverts to 1/1/0001.
