Re: Sending an Appointment with CDOSYS

Dan,

Good overview on the iCalendar topic, thanks!

On the .asp/VB issue, I've learned to be able to mix them all the time on a
web page whether as an .ocx or a .dll on the server side. I seem to be able
to find myself with the need to do all sorts of things that aren't quite
"normal". ;-) I was just anticipating the worst and willing to do about
anything to get this to work. However, the iCalendar capability will do
quite nicely. I've got it in both CDOSYS and xp_sendMail.

Thanks again for your help,

Steve

I don't use CDOSYS, but I guess you can just create a suitably
formatted MIME message with the vCal/iCal content type.

Oh, yes, of course. I was thinking you'd have to make up a TNEF
attachment containing the properties or something ghastly, but that's
much nicer.

Here's wikipedia's page on iCal:

The only thing to watch out for is that only newer versions of Outlook
will accept these requests; I'm not sure exactly which ones, but I'd
guess Outlook 97 doesn't, given that the RFC (2445) is from 1998, and
I'm not sure about OL2000.


Oh, and from one post higher up the thread:

Thanks for your response, very much appreciated. So, if not CDOSYS,
what
can you send an appointment with? I'd like to do it using an .asp or
VB

The two aren't really interchangeable -- .asp is for code behind web
pages, VB is for apps that users run with a normal UI.

For CDO1.21 in asp, see www.cdolive.com.
