I've got a somewhat wild idea that I would like to propose...
Google Calendar and Outlook 2007 both give the ability to "subscribe" to an internet calendar. Would it be possible to write an http handler that would "expose" events in the Telerik Scheduler database and provide a read only calendar for Outlook and Google Calendar?
Disclaimer: I have not yet used Telerik Scheduler but plan to dive in once we are out of BETA. I also do not have a very strong understanding of the .ical format.
Some immediate questions that come to mind:
1. How would recurring events work? (would the http handler automatically "fill in" events for the next 365 days, for example?
2. Is there any way to protect these calendars? (My hunch is no and that is OK)
Some Benefits:
1. Once the handler is set up, you could literally provide step by step instructions for your users on the site to add the calendar to Google or Outlook and it would be a set it and forget it type of deal.
2. I have a client who is constantly trying to juggle his schedule and if he could just "overlay" events on a web application with his Exchange calendar all from Outlook he would be a very happy camper.
