Attach ICal Export File Within Email

[Nick]

I currently send the user an email when they insert an appointment. I would like to attach an .ics export file as part of the email. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hello Nick,

Yes, this is possible.
Please see our online demo - in the code behind you will find a method WriteData. You can modify it so it saves the .ics file to the file system and then attach it to the MailMessage object:

private void WriteCalendar(string data)
{
    ASCIIEncoding ue = new ASCIIEncoding();
    byte[] fileData = ue.GetBytes(data);
    //save the file to a temp folder
    FileStream file = new FileStream("c:\\temp\\export.ics", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
    file.SetLength(0);
    file.Write(fileData, 0, fileData.Length);
    file.Close();

}

Here is how to attach a file to an email.

I hope this will get you started.

Hello,

You can use the exchange Provider to sync RadScheduler and Outlook as it is described here.
