    <p>I’m trying to create an event in my Microsoft Outlook calendar by using iCalendar standard. I’ve sent an email with content type “text/calendar” to my Exchange mailbox from .NET application. It arrives to Outlook as an meeting request. Everything looks good, till the moment when I click the received meeting request, Outlook displays it as an empty calendar view with the text: <em>“Meeting cannot be found in the calendar”</em>. I don’t understand why – I wanted to create an event and it is trying to find some existing?</p> <p>If I send exactly the same email to whoever participant of the meeting except the organizer, it creates an event in their calendars and everything seems to be ok. I’ve found that it is caused by the “ORGANIZER” property. If it is set to organizer’s email (my email) and I send meeting request to myself, an event is not created with the information “Meeting cannot be found in the calendar”.</p> <p>So the question is why it doesn’t create an event for organizer? Organizer must have that event created to be notified by other participants if they have accepted or cancelled the meeting.</p> <p>Here is the iCalendar:</p> <pre><code>BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Company//Product 3.0//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:REQUEST BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20130225T200000Z DTEND:20130225T203000Z DTSTAMP:20130225T143039Z ORGANIZER;CN="John Doe":mailto:john.doe@domain.com UID:20130225T143039Z@domain.com ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;RSVP=TRUE;CN="John Smith" ;X-NUM-GUESTS=0:mailto:john.smith@domain.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20130225T143039Z DESCRIPTION: LAST-MODIFIED:20130225T143039Z LOCATION: SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Booking test TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR </code></pre>
