Error in opening .ics file in outlook 2003 created using ASP.NET 2.0

[Bali]

I have written code to create an .ics file and send it as an
attachment in mail. Once the attachment is received in mail and I try
to open it, I get the following error.

"This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar
appointment in iCalendar format.
To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead
of Lunar."

Following are the contents of the .ics file

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20080830T080000Z
DTEND:20080904T180000Z
SUMMARY:Task - Test
LOCATION:Office
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Could somebody please tell me what is wrong with this?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sumeet

Google that error. There's plenty of information on what may be causing it.
One easy thing to try is to specify "VERSION:1.0" instead of "VERSION:2.0".

Apparently Outlook 2003/2007 requires both the DTSTAMP and UID statements
even though the RFC states they're optional.

I got rid of the line version 2.0 and it worked.
