Extract / parse recurrence rule string

[.]

Hello, can anyone provide sample c# code or detailed documentation on the easiest way to extract/parse portions of a weekly recurrence string like:?

DTSTART:20090410T120000Z
DTEND:20090410T180000Z
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20090430T040000Z;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=MO,WE

I have this value stored in a db field as a string and would like to extract some parts of this like the 'BYDAY' values and re-assign them to an existing appointment's recurrency rule.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Peter, I appreciate it.  Actually I did come across this earlier but perhaps I can rephrase my question as...am I correct in that it appears you can't assign the DTEND portion of the recurrence string directly and that a temporary new RecurrenceRange() object has to be created in which one would assign it via the .EventDuration property?  If yes then how would one go about setting it to end at a specific time of day if one knows the hour & minute (like 10:30pm for example) instead of adding/subtracting hours & minutes through the TimeSpan function?

Hi,

It is not possible to set directly the End date, you need to work with the .EventDuration property. Let us know if you are having problems getting your code to work this way and we will try to provide help with the implementation.
