ICAL .NET Remove or Delete Event

284 Views Asked by At

I am using https://github.com/rianjs/ical.net with .Net 6 API. I am able to create an event like below.

            var calendar = new Calendar();
            calendar.AddTimeZone(new VTimeZone("America/Chicago"));
            var icalEvent = new CalendarEvent
            {
                Summary = "David's vacation days",
                Description = "Description for event",
                Start = new CalDateTime(2022, 12, 12, 15, 0, 0),
                End = new CalDateTime(2022, 12, 12, 16, 0, 0)
            };
            calendar.Events.Add(icalEvent);

            var iCalSerializer = new CalendarSerializer();
            result = iCalSerializer.SerializeToString(calendar);

This creates a .ics file, opening which creates an event in the calendar.

BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//github.com/rianjs/ical.net//NONSGML ical.net 4.0//EN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago END:VTIMEZONE BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Description for event DTEND:20221212T160000 DTSTAMP:20221213T184639Z DTSTART:20221212T150000 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:David's vacation days UID:4aca19e6-a7a8-426c-a488-c2abf789c395 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

I see that if I edit the file and add METHOD:CANCEL, SEQUENCE:1, it opens in outlook with 'Remove from calendar'.

Now, how to do this remove event programmatically? I am hoping iCAL has something instead of me serializing the event to string and add the method etc. to that string manually.
