I didn’t get that far into the coding process to be able to answer this for you. But I would assume that there is a variable that says which calendar each item belongs to, and using that, you could code in a conditional statement to only add items to the ICal file that belongs to a certain calendar.

I went through the same thing from WebDav to EWS and in WebDav I can read the contents of specific Calendar in Outlook and exclude the default calendar in a email box.

Therefore, how can I specifiy to read off a specific calendar ie. mytestcalendar from a mailbox? I can’t find code anywhere. Thanks.

That’s just amazing!
Now, what I am trying to figure out is how to display the calendar items in a webpage (datagrid) instead of getting the ics attachement. ?!
Anyone ideas?

Finally, I located the information I was looking for. I have been doing research on this subject, and for two days I keep entering sites that are supposed to have what I am searching for, only to be disappointed with the lack of what I needed.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate the free advice.

I did find a solution to my problem. The answer lay in publishing the calendar using the same value for the “X-WR-RELCALID” attribute. My earlier ICS did not use this attribute.

Once included, Outlook simply replaced the existing calendar with the new calendar. This resolved my issue with deleted appointmrnts & updates neatly.

In case this interests someone, the page below has a sample ICS that can be used as the template for anyone interested in generating their own calendars.

Exporting an ICal became much easier in Exchange 2010 SP1, so good that my website calendar is now entirely powered by Exchange for the public to see. Importing a calendar has always been as easy as going to your calendar and adding a calendar. You can mix it into your existing calendar using OWA directly (I just verified). If you’re looking to merge the calendars, I might be able to help you out some more, but I’d ask that you email me directly using my contact page.

Phil,

I am investigating the possibility of importing from an ICalendar file to Exchange/Outlook.

New appointments are fine, I am running into a dead end with updates and deletes.

Would appreciate any insight if you have some to share on the issue.

I’ve sent an email privately to you. It might be an issue with the code and how its connecting or it could be a silly mistake.
