    <p>Let’s say that organizer want to create an meeting for 2 attendees. He fills in a form in the booking system. The booking system sends email containing iCalendar standard to himself and to 2 meeting attendees.</p> <p>This scenario doesn’t work. </p> <p>It is not possible to create an event (cancellable meeting object) in the calendar of the organizer. The client thinks that email containing iCalendar format is just notification for attendee of the meeting already created in the organizer calendar. If such an email arrives to organizer’s mailbox, client app doesn’t create an event in the organizer’s calendar. It assumes that an event was created by organizer himself. E.g.: Outlook tells you in that case that “Meeting cannot be found in the calendar”.</p> <p>If you ask Microsoft support about it, they only tell you that they does not support open standards: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2269506">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2269506</a></p> <p>Working solution to this problem is to use platform services (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/exchange/dd633661%28v=exchg.80%29.aspx">Exchange Web Services</a> or <a href="https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/">Google Calendar API</a>) to create an event in the organizer’s calendar. Forget iCalendar standard. The services can be configured for sending notifications to attendees automatically. So it is enough to pass “<em>SendInvitationsMode.SendToAllAndSaveCopy</em>” if you’re using EWS:</p> <pre><code>Appointment appointment = new Appointment(service); appointment.Subject = "Status Meeting"; appointment.Body = "The purpose of this meeting is to discuss status."; appointment.Start = new DateTime(2014, 3, 1, 9, 0, 0); appointment.End = appointment.Start.AddHours(2); appointment.Location = "Conf Room"; appointment.RequiredAttendees.Add("user1@contoso.com"); appointment.RequiredAttendees.Add("user2@contoso.com"); appointment.OptionalAttendees.Add("user3@contoso.com"); appointment.Save(SendInvitationsMode.SendToAllAndSaveCopy); </code></pre> <p>or set “<em>sendNotifications</em>” parameter to true in case of Google Calendar API.</p> <p>You don’t need to send an email to every particular attendee.</p>

    1. COThanks for your answer, I feared that, iCalendar is only to exchange information about an already existent event, so iCalendar alone doesn't work, and as you said, if using API's handling .ics files directly is not necessary, thanks for your answer, I'll give you the bounty but I cannot choose your answer, as its not my question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
