Update of recurrent appointment (handling UNTIL and COUNT)
Category: MAPI
Hi Experts,
I have a question as an extension to the original question.
Regarding creation of MAPI recurrence event based on an ICAL event
generally RRULE would have either a COUNT or UNTIL, but recurrence blob
requires both these values to be updated
i.e
Whether Recurrence range type is "
End after date( 0x00002021) OR
End after N occurrences (0x00002022)
it
is required to update both *OccurrenceCount* and the *End Date* of the
recurrence event that would mean that we should calculate the End date of
the recurrence event with a COUNT in RRULE and calculate the Count or
the number of occurances for the event with UNTIL in the RRULE.
I was wondering is this necessary ? will Outlook take care if I add some
dummy value for these items.
Greatly appreciate your response and any pointers.
Thanks,
Mahesh
