The One With

iCalendar Support - (What's new in v8.2)

     

I know some of you have been waiting for this. In v2008.2, both the XtraScheduler and the APSxScheduler suites will support the iCalendar (or iCal) RFC 2445 standard for data exchange.

This means data exchange between the most popular calendars out there. Apple iCal, Lotus Notes, Google Calendar, Novell GroupWise, and Windows Calendar just to name a few.

XtraScheduler -> export to iCal

Google Calendar -> import from iCal

 

Cheers

Azret

Anyone know what the mechanism is to export and if multiple events can be exported at once?

Hi Jim,

There is a new class to help with the iCal.

DevExpress.XtraScheduler.iCalendar.iCalendarExporter

For example iCalendarExporter.Export(Stream).

Not sure what you mean by "multiple events"

Hi Azret...thanks for the initial response...by multiple events, i mean exporting more than one calendar event at a time. Many calendars online require you to export each appointment, etc. individually, but having the ability to export everything in view, or even better in the underlying dataset would be far better.

Hi Jim,

Yes the DevExpress.XtraScheduler.iCalendar.iCalendarExporter should be able to handle that.
