@Ron,

With recurring rule, I don’t think iCalendar specification allows that.

But you can add multiple events (with different start and end dates) to a single Appointment object using AddEvent() method.

Instead of adding a recurring rule, can I specify all the dates of the recurring meeting?

@Ron,

> What are the valid values for “TimeZoneId”?
Any value is valid, as you are defining the timezone.
When defining regular timezone I’d use time zone abbreviations defined here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/

You can use TimeZoneInfo class for that (it is available since .NET 4.0) in particular GetAdjustmentRules method is what you are after.

If you are on .NET 4.0 or greater, you can use TimeZoneInfo class.

What are the valid values for “TimeZoneId”?
Is there a way to programatically determine the proper value for the local machine?
In this example ‘standard’ time and ‘daylight savings’ time are hard coded. Is there a way to add this info automatically or to read if from the local machine?

Thank you
Ron
