Ical - send event to outlook calendar

I have a cold fusion event page that data comes from database it has a title – event description – start date - end date
I need to have a button beside each event that user push that button and event goes to user's calendar in outlook. I think I can use ical but not sure how. Is there anybody can help I really appreciate it.
Thanks,

1. Create and save an event in Outlook.
2. Open that event and go File > Save As to save it to your desktop in the .ics format.
3. Open the saved file in Notepad to view the code.
Now that you've seen what the behind-the-scenes files look like that make up the events in Outlook, you need only to use ColdFusion to create one of these files. You'll also want to place:
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=events.vcs">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="text/x-vcalendar">
at the start of the CF template that creates these files.

Issue with Copy of events from Outlook Calendar to SharePoint 2010 calendar(mapped in outlook)

There is a issue while copying events in Outlook mapped SharePoint 2010 Calendar.
This issue only seems to happen when user copies an event from his Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
He is able to create a new event in the SharePoint calendar from Outlook.
He tried below steps, but still no success
1.
Open your Outlook calendar.
2. Open the event you want to copy.
3. From the File menu, select Info.
4. Click the Move to Folder button.
5. In the Copy Items To dialog box, scroll down to the SharePoint Lists item and select the SharePoint calendar to which you want to copy the event.
6. Click the OK button.
7. Click the Yes button when prompted to continue.
Please let me know if there is any possible solution for it.

Hi,
I have done a test as your steps. I am able to copy an event from my Outlook calendar to the SharePoint 2010 calendar.
1. I suggest you test in another compute, perhaps your Outlook results to that issue.
2. Please create a new site collection, then test again, compare the result.
3. Maybe it will take some time before the copied event displays in the SharePoint 2010 calendar. So, wait a minute, compare the result.

Detecting the send event in Outlook addin

I'm trying to write an Outlook AddIn app in C# using Visual Studio 2012. I need to detect when the send button is clicked in a current email. I'll want to perform some actions after the send button has been clicked.
I assume an event handler needs to be created, but I'm not sure where- at the item level, or application level. I created a mail item object with Outlook.MailItem publicItem = (Outlook.MailItem).this.OutlookItem. It seems like I should be detecting
publicItem.send but I'm not clear on how and where to use event handlers in this case.
I added a checkbox, and Visual Studio created publicCheckBox_Changed(object sender, EventArgs e) for me. To check if the box was checked, I used 'if(publicCheckBox.checked) { do stuff }. Is detecting the send event similar?
I'm new to c# and Outlook Addins, and fairly new to coding.
Thanks for your help.
Wayne

Hello Wayne,
In the check box Clicked event you can add a user property to the MailItem (see UserProperties.Add). Then in the ItemSend event ( see the Application class) handler you can check out the property value - whether it is set or not. Be aware, the Cancel parameter
passed to ItemSend event handler allows to prevent the item from sending.

Why is iCal sending event notifications via email?!!

My wife and I subscribe to each other's ical calendars via iCloud and it's been working fine since first set up months ago. Suddenly today, she got a ton of emails after I updated and added a bunch of events in my calendar. This hasn't happened before today. Neither of us changed anything and I know I made similar updates in my calendar earlier in the week that didn't generate emails to her.

as i wrote there Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?:
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

AppleScript for recurring events in Outlook calendar

I'm trying to write an AppleScript that will create a new appointment with properties that are derived from the properties of a specific appointment that is part of a recurring series in an Outlook calendar.
Outlook 14.2.5
AppleScript Editor version 2.3
In the Microsoft Outlook window in the editor, the calendar event help information shows two distinct properties:
is recurring (boolean, r/o): Indicates whehter an event is part of a recurring series of events.    (the typo in "whehter" is actually in the help information!)
is occurrence (boolean, r/o) : Indicates whether an event is an occurrence of a recurring series
I don't understand the difference between these two. If I have a series of appointment (say one meeting every day for three days), and I have selected the second appointment in that series, "is occurrence" is false, but "is recurring" is true. What is the difference?
My ultimate objective is to extract the start time of the specific appointment that is selected, but when I use the "start time" property of the selection (the second appointment in the series of three appointments), my script is returning the start date/time of the first appointment in the series.
set selectedEvent to selection
set startTime to start time of selectedEvent   <-- this is returning the start time of the first appointment in the series - not the start time of the particular occurrence that is selected in the calendar (which is what I actually want)

ICal move events from one calendar to another with AppleScript

I made an AppleScript to clean up my calendars and thought I would share. My iMac had a calendar called "Home" and my iPhone had a default calendar "Calendar" so I ended up with all of my events spread across two calendars. Decide to clean up and move everything to one calendar.
This script is admittedly not very efficient. The nested repeat loops means it takes a while to run. Feel free to take this as a start point. I have it checking each property for missing value before adding it to avoid errors. I could have added a line to delete the old event after creating the copy, but I was just deleting the whole old calendar after the script ran.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Oh, this was created under Snow Leopard so if you are in Lion you might need to tweak things. I don't know how much the scripting library has changed.

display dialog ("Exists(not copied):" & cntrMatch & " New Copied:" & cntrCopied)

That should not be necessary because I get the value of ID out of another table, where I generate ID with a sequence..
So normally it should just tranfer that row from one table to another. But it doesn't !
Knowing that I cannot create a row in the table wouter_published_posts(I can just move rows from the add_post table to the wouter_published_posts table), It should be inpossible that twice the ID appears. But yet he keeps trowing errors...
help me, please

Send event in google calendar (agenda)

Hi Everyone.
I would like to programaticaly send apointements in a google calendar using labview.
I've almost no idea from where to start...
I found this but I haven't the prerequisite knowledge in web programming for this to be helpfull...
If some of you have some tips and or example to share, I would be very gratefull to here them.
Have a nice day
Antoine

I had looking into this a few months ago, but ended up going a different route. Here is the vi I was writting to give you a head start. The e-mail send vi is based on one I found elsewhere in the forums modified for calendar attachments. You'll have to programatically create the attachment for e-mailing.
If I remember correctley, the file is an .ics extension. There is plenty you can find online about how to create a file for a specific date/time, whether to include an alarm, etc.
I've also attached the vi I was working on to generate event attachment files (needs some work).

Problem Synching SunOne Calendar group Events to outlook

Is it possible to synch SunOne calendar group events to Outlook Calendar. We are running Calendar 5.1 and Outlook 2003 and 2007. The group entries are not picked up in outlook. eventually we want group events to be picked up on Blackberry and other PDA devices. Any thoughts?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'calendar group' events.
We are running Calendar 5.1Are you sure about this version number, this is a very old version of Calendar?
What does "showrev -p | grep ics" tell you re: calendar patch number?
and Outlook 2003 and 2007. The group entries are not picked up in outlook. eventually we want group events to be picked up on Blackberry and other PDA devices. Any thoughts?For syncing information to Blackberry & Other PDA advices you would probably be best looking at a syncml solution. Synchronica provide syncml software.

How to sync iCal on iPad to Outlook 2011 on MacBook.

Has anyone tried to sync iCal on iPad to Outlook 2011 for Mac. I'm having trouble getting my new MacBook, iPad, and Blackberry to all be on the same page. Everything I'll tried seems to only work on iCal and not the Outlook calendar. I've tried the info page in iTunes when the iPad is connected but it only shows iCal in the calendar sync options and my Blackberry only syncs to iCal. When I get meeting requests in Outlook they don't show in iCal. I'm basically carrying two calendars. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's been driving me crazy.

You can have the calendar on your iPad, and iCal on your Mac use Outlook calendars, if your business has the Exchange server set up correctly. In both cases, you need to add your Outlook email account as an Exchange account (in Settings on iPad, in mail.app on Mac). Once completed, the two calendars will not sync back and forth with one another, but you can view both of them in iCal and on the iPad, as well as create events and respond to invitations.
The big caveat - if you business or school has their Exchange server set up for this type of access. Many do.

2007 Outlook Calendar not sharing all events when saving it as iCal and sending to an iphone

Found a way to sharing Outlook Calendar to an iPhone without syncing. I save the calendar as iCal format and then send it to the person to open it on his smart phone. He opens the file, adds them to his calendar, and can see only certain events, not all
of the ones i can see on my computer. Before i started working here, there were 2 other calendars i had to merge so i can have just one. All the items I've added, show up (appointments, calls, etc.) but the ones that were done before me are not showing up
like birthday reminders once i share them.
What am i missing???

Hi RPMM,
According to the description, I suggest double checking whether we select the "Full details" instead of other options. Pic as below:
I have tested on my Outlook 2013 + Exchange 2013, it works well.
There is no limitations of the save as ICS feature in Exchange 2013 server. It seems an issue on the Outlook 2013 client side.
Since Exchange Online is different from Exchange 2013 server, if this issue related to Exchange Online server side, I suggest creating a new thread on the Exchange Online Forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
If it still not works unfortunately, I suggest exporting the calendar into .pst file for testing as a workaround.
Hope it is helpful
Thanks

Outlook 2007 Calendar Monitoring: track send event for recurring meetings

Hi,
I'm working on an Outlook 2007, VSTO 2010, .NET 3.5 add-in which monitors AppointmentItem objects changed on the user's calendar. Specifically I'm tracking the send event of the currently selected appointment in the calendar view. Currently my add-in is
set to cancel the send event and call Display() on the selected appointment instead.
I'm testing with Outlook 2007 SP3. The event handler is fired correctly for non-recurring meetings when the user changes the start or end time of the meeting and for recurring meeting occurrences / exceptions when the user changes the end time, but not when
the user changes the start time of a recurring meeting occurrence / exception. These are the specific steps:
Create a recurring appointment with e.g. 3 occurrences, add at least one attendee and send the invitation.
Set the Calendar to display a Week View.
Select the top edge of the first occurrence of the appointment created in step 1 and drag it upwards to increase the length of the appointment by half an hour.
Release the mouse button and press enter to confirm the change.
Answer 'Save changes and send update' in the popup.
At this point the addin should cancel the send event and display the appointment, but actually the event handler is not called. This behavior occurs only when I change the start time of an occurrence / exception. When I change the end time the event handler
is called correctly.
Do you have any clue why the event handler is only called for the one change and not for the other? How could I work around this issue?

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply. Here is my code:
public class ExplorerMonitor {private Explorer explorer;private AppointmentItem selectedAppointment;

bool eventsHookedUp = false;
try
// first remove the listeners from the previously selected item
this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
selection = this.explorer.Selection;
if (selection.Count == 1)
selectedItem = selection[1];
AppointmentItem appointment = selectedItem as AppointmentItem;
if (appointment != null)
this.selectedAppointment = appointment;
((ItemEvents_10_Event)this.selectedAppointment).Send
+= new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Send);

ICal Events not showing in Outlook Calendar

I'm new to iCal. My Mail and iCal are now synched up with my work's Outlook Exchange.
The problem: My events entered in Outlook's Calendar ARE showing up in my iCal, but events entered in iCal ARE NOT showing up in my Outlook Calendar.
Whither wrong am I going?

Bumping this in case someone can help...:)

ICal to Outlook Calendar moves event by one day. Why?

Hi
If I create an event in Outlook Calandar (2011 for Mac, Sp1) it arrives via Syn Services on the correct day in iCal ......... Great!
But
If I create an event in iCal it arrives in Outlook calandar one day out .............. Why?
HELP Please...................
Rgds

Hi,
Have you checked that the two applications are set to the same timezone?
Outlook will have a timezone setting in its Prefernces > Calendars. iCal is either set to the timezone in System Preferences > Date & Time or if you have timezone support set in iCal's > Preferences > Advanced it will be in whatever timezone is shown in the top right of the iCal main window.

Transferring outlook calendar events to iCal....automatically?

My employer uses Outlook to arrange all meetings. While I have a Windows machine in the office, I happily own a Mac at home.
I can access outlook appointments via Web Outlook, but would much rather be able to download this info straight into my iCal calendar - and see my work and social calendar at a glance.
Although I realise this seems to be a general problem - does anyone know if there's a way of getting events from web outlook to iCal - better still automatically?

I'm using Outlook2Mac to import Outlook calendar information into iCal. However, it doesn't work in the other direction - for which I'm still looking for a solution.

Ical - send event to outlook calendar
