Calendar ics file with Label 'Personal'

P

peppiv

I have a c# app that creates an ics file for attachment with emails we send to clients. Everything works fine except for the requirement of setting the Label to 'Personal'. The ics specifications I found online were old and could not find any info about adding this to the ics file. Does anyone know if it's possible and if so, what is the code?

Below is the present code:

Thank you for the response.

I saved an appt in Outlook with the Label set to anything and when I opened the ics file (how I need it) I could not find anything relating to Label. When I clicked the file and Outlook saves the file, it saves without the Label. I'm really thinking that it may not be possible.

if you save an appointment with a personal label as an ics and open it in
notepad, how is the label referenced?

That's what I'm thinking too. if ics doesn't support labels, adding it to
the ics may cause issues in other calendaring programs. You'd need to save
it as a vcal.
