I'm using the python dateutil module for a calendaring application which supports repeating events. I really like the ability to parse ical rrules using the rrulestr() function. Also, using rrule.between() to get dates within a given interval is very fast. However, as soon as I try doing any other operations (ie: list slices, before()...
We have to add and update outlook calendar events for several users (different appointments events for each user) under program control (VB or Ruby). A server solution with no action required by individual users is preferred. Simple ICAL based technology doesn't appear to easily support updating existing events (i.e. schedule chan...

We develop a small business database application with PowerBuilder. Part of the functionality includes scheduling appointments (a secretary schedules an appointment for her doctor via our application).

My understanding from reading the specification (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt) is that the ":" character should not be escaped in text values like DESCRIPTION. From the RFC: The "TEXT" property values may also contain special characters that are used to signify delimiters, such as a COMMA character for lists of va...

This also triggers the sending per email of ICS files to those users who chose that option. Now, it almost always happens that there are last minute changes, so a need to do a new schedule ...

I already created an ICS parser myself but it can only handle timezones known to PHP (like 'Europe/Paris').

I'd like my web site generated invitations to mimic the behavior of those generated by Outlook itself. Specifically, when I send an invitation I'd like Outlook to mark the calendar item as TENTATIVE until accepted, and then OOF when accepted. This is accomplished by Outlook itself via the setting of various X-MICROSOFT-CDO extensions to...
I want to create a calendar in my application that external users can view.
