I have a simple .ics file with some events. The file can be imported to Google calendar locally or via web URL and that is working fine.
But if I add an alarm in the event structure, the Google calendar ignores that alarm.
The structure of ics:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//icalendar test v1.0//cs-CZ
BEGIN:VEVENT
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220519

END:VCALENDAR
In Google cal. settings there is an option to enable alarm some minutes before the event or for fullday events (my case) to set a date and hour to show alarm.
But as I want to show alarm only for some events, that's why I have VALARM defined in ics file, but it doesn't trigger any alarm.

I am trying to create an .ics for Google Calendar, but when I try to add this event to my Google Calendar using the file, there isn't anyone the event's attendee list.

Can anyone help me with this issue ?
I am trying to a event and send invite through ics file. I have create a ics file.My ics file is below.

on clicking it two times. It creates two entry in the calendar. It should update the existing entry.
This is the .ics file generated from my C# code and this successfully opens in Outlook and shows the reminder too.

But when i change the time and supply start time= 09:00 and end time= 10:00 then the .ics file generated is
as below and no reminder in this case is entered when it is opened in Outlook.

Finally I observed that if the time is given from 13:00 (1:00PM)to 23:00(10:00PM) it is working fine and reminder is added but if i enter time like 09:00(AM) or 11:00(AM) then reminder is not added.
Pls tell where i am going wrong or what i am missing.
In the second case your appointment starts in the past (the first will also soon be in the past) and Outlook will not set a reminder in the past.
Am using following Icalendar code to set multiple events in a single ics file... But when i tested it with outlook 2007, the remainder sets to none.

When I use same format with only one event it is working fine... Help me in resolving this issue.
It seems that reminders in calendar feeds are not supported by Outlook due to its design. Which is unfortunate because the feature is rendered nearly useless without something as basic as reminders.
The only way we were able to get reminders working was taking a calendar item from a feed, and then dragging it into one's personal calendar in Outlook. Not an effective, practical workaround at all.
I'm generating an ics file from calendar information and google calendar can show these. But a few events doesn't show up, for example this one: (one event extracted from the full file)

I have checked the above at http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/ and it validates. Does anyone have any idea why this specific event wouldn't show up in an iCal consumer, for example google calendar.
Any help is appreciated.
I was able to "import" it into a test google calendar with no problem.
In my experience, "subscribing" via google calendar can be slow - ie it may not show up for a while.
