    <p>I'm trying to add an appointment with special characters like "ø" to my Outlook calendar through the live connect api. I'm trying to convert the characters to UTF-8 by using this function:</p> <pre><code>public string ConvertStringToUTF8(string str) { byte[] bytearray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str); str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytearray, 0, bytearray.Length); return str; } </code></pre> <p>And then send it to Outlook with the charset set to UTF-8. But Outlook returns an error saying I don't send valid JSON... (If I don't use special characters like that it works fine)</p> <p>EDIT: request</p> <pre><code>private void MakeRequest() { // make request HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/events?suppress_response_codes=true&amp;suppress_redirects=true"); request.Method = "POST"; request.ContentType = "application/json;charset=UTF-8"; request.Headers["Authorization"] = "bearer " + appsettings["outlookkey"]; // start the asynchronous request request.BeginGetRequestStream(GetEventWriteCallback, request); } private void GetEventWriteCallback(IAsyncResult result) { // get the request HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)result.AsyncState; // End the operation Stream postStream = request.EndGetRequestStream(result); // create new appointment AppointmentClass appoint = new AppointmentClass(); appoint.calendar_id = calendar_id; appoint.name = subjectstring; appoint.description = descriptionstring; appoint.availability = "busy"; appoint.is_all_day_event = allday; appoint.visibility = "public"; appoint.location = locationstring; appoint.start_time = start.ToString("s", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + start.ToString("zzzzz"); appoint.end_time = end.ToString("s", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) + end.ToString("zzzzz"); // generate json string from Appointment class MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(AppointmentClass)); ser.WriteObject(stream, appoint); stream.Position = 0; StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream); string payload = sr.ReadToEnd(); Debug.WriteLine("sending appointment: " + payload); // Convert the string into a byte array. byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payload); // Write to the request stream. postStream.Write(byteArray, 0, payload.Length); postStream.Close(); // start the asynchronous request request.BeginGetResponse(GetEventResponseCallback, request); } </code></pre>

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.
