How to get the creation date of an event/meeting

Question

I need to implement some control rules on booking conference rooms depending on the creation date and start date.
For example:
- the booking cannot be accepted if the meeting start date is less than 2 hours ahead
at 3:00 PM I can book the conference room for a meeting starting at 5:05PM
but not for a meeting starting at 4:55PM
- the booking cannot be accepted after 5:30PM for a meeting starting the next morning before 10:00AM
at 5:45PM I can book the conference room for a meeting tomorrow at 11:00AM, but not for a meeting at 9:45AM

Hi Michel,
how to get the creation date of an event/meeting?When you use the calendar sdk to fetch a meeting there is an Icalendar(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt) property called CREATED with the creation time in UTC.
For example:
- the booking cannot be accepted if the meeting start
date is less than 2 hours ahead
at 3:00 PM I can book the conference room for a
meeting starting at 5:05PM
but not for a meeting starting at 4:55PM
You would want to implement these rules with with the sdk? That would implie that users connecting to the calendar server with any other client than the calendar sdk could still book these resources whenever they want.
Or you would want to go an validate all the meetings once they are already created?
