How to specify which folder new Outlook AppointmentItems are created in?

Question

I'm creating AppointmentItem objects for outlook with the following code:

AppointmentItem apt = (APPointmentItem)OLApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olAppointmentItem);
// set parameters for 'apt', like body, subject etc.
// ...
apt.Save();

I have the name of a calendar I want to put this event in, but I can't figure out how to specify which folder the newly created event should go in to. New events always seem to appear in the main calendar folder.

What you need to do is get access to the folder, then call folder.items.add and add you item. It should look something like this:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder customer_folder = GetMyFolder();  //function to get your folder
AppointmentItem apt = (APPointmentItem)OLApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olAppointmentItem);
// set parameters for 'apt', like body, subject etc.
// ...
apt.Save();
customer_folder.Items.Add(apt);
