Hi!
I have a problem with the new release of Events that when I "Export to Desktop Event" that produces an .ics calenderfile it doesnt work to be imported into Outlook or Google calender.
I'm running latest version 5.0.3 of Events and 5.2.2 of DNN.
When i tried to import the .ics file into Google calender I got an error:
Failed to import events: Unable to process your iCal/CSV file
When I deleted all the ATTENDEE rows such as:
ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;CN="Larsur"
from the file I only got the: Successfully imported 0 events.
Then I in the ics-file changed the row
UID:4 to a unique value such as UID:sqlug4
After that it was possible to import into Google calender
But I couldn't import into Outlook 2003 before changing the rows:
DTSTART;TZID=DNN/LocalDST:20100127T110000
DTEND;TZID=DNN/LocalDST:20100127T160000
To:
DTSTART:20100127T110000Z
DTEND:20100127T160000Z
I cant find the source where the calender export file is build so I have only managed to test the issue in the exported ics-file.

The UID field distributes updates when a scheduled event changes.
When the event is first generated a globally unique identifier is created.
If a later event is distributed with the same UID, it replaces the original one.
For sending an UPDATE for an event the UID should match the original UID. the other component property to be set is:
SEQUENCE:<Num of Update>
