Creating VCALENDAR file
Creating VCALENDAR is simple, we just need to follow the format but recently i have faced a lot of problems making VCALENDAR file work properly in Outlook (specially 2007) and Entourage (on MAC).
I created a VCALENDAR file as :
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:Event Name
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Line 1=0D=0ALine 2=0D=0ALine 3
DTSTART:20090209T000000
DTEND:20090210T000000
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
This worked perfectly fine on Entourage (on MAC) and Outlook older version but not on Outlook 2007. I faced 2 (infact 3) problems:
1. Line breaks not visible in Outlook 2007
2. Start and End Time is not properly set
3. All day event checkbox is not checked
I corrected the line breaks probelm by adding "=0D=0A" twice ... so the description look like:
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Line 1=0D=0A=0D=0ALine 2=0D=0A=0D=0ALine 3
Now the Start and End time and All day event problem is still there. Will let you all know if i am able to solve this.
