    Here is the code...

    protected void btnOutlookExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       WriteCalendar(rsReservations.ExportToICalendar(rsReservations.Appointments));
    }

    and this is the error I am getting:

    Compiler Error Message: CS0176: Member 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadScheduler.ExportToICalendar(Telerik.Web.UI.AppointmentCollection)' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

    What am i missing? How should I be accessing the appointments?

    Visual Studio underlines ExportToICalendar in red and says...
    C#: Cannot access a static method on an instance

    The demos show this method being used and it works on the demos. Is there something I am missing?

    Thanks in advance for your time and help.

    Hello,

    ExportToICalendar is a static method and it is called directly from the RadScheduler class like this -

    RadScheduler.ExportToICalendar(...)


    Kind regards,

    rsReservations IS my RadScheduler object from the aspx page.

    Here is the WriteCalendar function from my copied. I copied these exactly from the demo online. Do I need anything else except the usings?

    protected void btnOutlookExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            WriteCalendar(rsReservations.ExportToICalendar(rsReservations.Appointments));
        }
        private void WriteCalendar(string data)
        {
            HttpResponse response = Page.Response;
     
            response.Clear();
            response.Buffer = true;
     
            response.ContentType = "text/calendar";
            response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
            response.Charset = "utf-8";
     
            response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"RadSchedulerExport.ics\"");
     
            response.Write(data);
            response.End();
        }
