Appointments created from birthdays or anniversaries are no different than
any other recurring all day appointments. First check to see if the
appointment is an all day appointment, since all birthdays and anniversaries
are all day. Then check the Links collection and if there isn't a link then
it's probably not a birthday or anniversary (unless the user removed the
link that gets created). Then get the Link object, which is a contact, then
check that contact for settings for birthday and anniversary.

The settings in the Recurrence pattern must be interpreted to get what the
dialog shows. Look at the NoEndDate Boolean and the Occurrences Long to see
if the pattern has an end date and a specified number of occurrences. Also
look at PatternEndDate.

pattern is always having enddate and specified occurances

A pattern without end, such as a birthday, has Occurrences = 0. EndTime
would have a year of 1601. PatternEndDate would have a year of 4500 or 4501
depending on various GMT settings.

You have to play with different patterns and see what property values you
get. Otherwise you will never be able to interpret a recurrence pattern.
