We have a website based on the .net-framework with ms-sql.
We use the standard asp calendar control to list our events on our website.
We have created a new event-database on another webserver that also generates an ical-feed.
How do we imort these 'ical-data' in our asp calendar?
note: we're newbies in programming!
I'm creating an iCal feed using DDay.iCal. It works, but I can't figure out how to set the timezone for the feed. Here's the basic code:
iCalendar iCal = new iCalendar();
// <-- Set the Timezone HERE to PST (Pacific Daylight Time)
Event evt = iCal.Create<Event>();
evt.Start = new iCalDateTime(meeting.MeetDate);
evt.End = evt.Start.AddHours(4); // 4 hour event
evt.Description = "This meeting...";
evt.Summary = "Event Summary";
I ve two aspCalendar controls on the website. I would like to perform validation (date from Calendar2 should be greater then date from Calendar 1).
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="CompareValidator"
ControlToValidate="Calendar2"[cod]....
There are a lot examples of validation but with ControlToValidate as textBox or label, What about more complex Controls, is there any way I can tell which property from that control has to be used?
Maybe Client side validation ? But how to do this ?
I've created a page which dynamically creates an .ics file based on data from our database, that customers can download to add the events to Outlook and iCalendar. This file is sent through the Response, so I don't actually store the file on the server. Since I can provide a webcal:// address to this file, it can also be synced whenever someone changes the settings for an event in our system.
Example .ics: [URL]
However, since our customers sync with a dynamically generated file, this forces our server to generate the file every time their calendar application wants to sync. And since this will cause a couple of hundred thousand requests every hour, the server will take quite a bit of punishment.
So my actual question is: How does Outlook and other calendar applications know when an ics-file has been updated and needs to fetch the updated file? I need to manage this to only generate a new file when there has been an actual update, and not on every single request. The main problem is that we do not wish to store the actual files on the server.
I'm using various tutorials to create an RSS Feed in asp.net. Most of these examples are in C, but have converted to vb.net without errors, except that the data is not showing when i run the page in which the feed is on, i am just given a blank white page:
My database table is called
News_Items and contains:
ID - Int
Title - nvarchar(50)
News - ntext
PostDate - datetime
This table holes 6 records currently. My code is as follows (These files are shown in their entirity):
RSS_Feed.aspx - Inherits Default as anything else generates an error

I am trying to get an RSS feed on my website from a MySQL database (using VB.Net). I've been using [URL] as a starting pioint.
So far I have:
rss.aspx......
[Code]....
rss.aspx.vb.....
[Code]....
My problem is that it displays a completely blank page! No error, no text, nothing. I've tried just using the code to create a static XML file (without connecting to the database) and it still doesn't work.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or should i do it in a completely different way?
