VEVENT vs. an event in a calendar application A *.ical or *.ics file, or another comparable data stream contains messages sent from one calendar application to another one. The calendar applications store events as objects. You can enter an event in your calendar by clicking and typing, but another way is to import an ical … Read more
I’ve done this (for VEvents only, not supporting TODO items or Journal entires or anything like that). My implementation looks like this (after removing columns that are not specific to the question): — One table for each event. An event may have multiple rRules. Create Table [vEvent] (vEventID Integer Identity(1, 1) Not Null Constraint [vEvent.pk] … Read more
I have created a simple open source .net utility to do just that, available at http://gcalicsimporter.codeplex.com/.
I’ve found InstantCal, which does what I want. The display it creates is not that great though. Also, it seems buggy in Chrome. I’d like something similar, with a simpler, nicer interface.
It turns out the answer was hiding in plain sight. The properties above are a draft proposal at the moment and unsupported by anything I tried. It’s probably a good bet to include them in your calendar for the future – but for it to work now as well, do it like this: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 … Read more
Separate your data into two parts: the “canonical” data (the recurrence rule) and “serving” (generated dates; read-only aside from regeneration). If the canonical data changes, regenerate the “serving” data at that point. For infinite recurrences, keep some number of instances and generate more if you run out (e.g. if the user looks at their calendar … Read more
@IceCool is right — simply omitting the DTEND is not enough…it will depend on the data type of DTSTART whether that works. The spec says that if DTSTART has a DATE data type, and there is no DTEND then the event finishes at the end of the day that it starts. But if DTSTART has … Read more
As the webpage says Android phones do not support webcals. However, you can subscribe the calendars to Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar and then synchronize GoogleCalendar with Android. Also, you can install ICSSync on your device and then add calendar links to that app. https://www.webcal.guru/en-US/help?question_id=subscribe
After doing some research and testing. The answer is a qualified no. Meaning: you could throw it in there, but you shouldn’t. It is not strictly forbidden by the RFC, but DESCRIPTION is not the appropriate property for HTML content. DESCRIPTION should be the plain text version of your content. The property X-ALT-DESC with a … Read more
