Hi

I am trying to create a outlook meeting request when a user clicks on a link
on a asp.net page. what is the best approach? do you know where I could
find some samples?

Thanks

Hi Derrick,

I have used a vCalendar object before to do this... it's a little
cumbersome, but the nice part is that any program that supports VCalendar
files would be able to import the file, not just Outlook... this doesn't do
attendee scheduling or anything like that, it just generates the when,
where, and (if you need it) why.

VCalendar is relatively easy to implement, it's just a text file with specs
you must adhere to. Have a look at the IMC site, you can read up on the
specifications there and decide which version to go with.

Hope this helps,


Matt
