Hi,

I need to write the code for "Add to calender" button, when user clicks on the button it check for the Microsoft outlook, if it is present the particular schedule is marked in the calender of outlook and if it not present at client's end then it gives the option to download the ics file.

I am able to download the ics file and then add it to calender by opening it up with outlook and saving it, but I am not able to directly add schedule to outlook.

Please help.

Thanks for providing the link.

I found one more solution regarding this which was actually what I was looking for:

Ok. Good to know.

Good enough for a Tip.

Just one thing, can you please add a 'Thanks reference' to the article How to Create Birthday Reminders Using Microsoft Outlook, in C#[^] as you have directly copy-pasted few lines from there.

It was quite fine, until I found the 'Comment: // Makes it appear bold in the calendar - which I like!' copied word to word.
