iCalendar (ics) versions and various calendar clients (Outlook, iCal, Lotus Notes) - what works and what doesn't? -


i'm working on web application allows users create calendar of events, download events calendar program of choice (e.g., outlook, lotus notes, ical, google calendar, etc.)

the web app outputs event data attachment in icalendar (ics) format.

i'm running variety of problems...

  1. if use "version:1.0", outlook 2003 recognize , import attachment. however, apple ical not. if it's "version:2.0", ical works, outlook 2003 not.

  2. if attachment has more 1 event (vevent), outlook 2003 imports first event, unless user uses outlook's import function.

  3. i don't have lotus notes, or multiple versions of outlook (2007, 2010), can't how behave easily.

i don't mind having implement little dialog asks user calendar program use can customize output accordingly. however, don't know each of major programs supports or requires.

has found resource lists, calendar program, works , doesn't? e.g., outlook 2007 or 2010 support "version:1.0"? there way outlook 2003 support "version:2.0", or handle multiple events? lotus notes support? yahoo , google?

i don't need support every program, i'd support many of major ones possible.

many in advance!

regarding lotus notes, can download trial version of notes client software ibm site, may need test application. notes can import ical entries through import menu, or dragging , dropping ical file notes client. (if need further notes-specific development, can download free version of "domino designer" software ibm web site - ibm makes designer software available free single machine use - no server access.)

there kbase article on ibm site details of ical support in latest version of notes (8.5) - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/notes85-icalendar/index.html
