ICS File?

Heidi Anselstetter · Oct 9, 2004

Hi,

I want to generate a ICS file which contains data to create a task in my
outlook 2003. Can somebody help me to find out more about those ICS files?
What content they need?

TIA
Heidi

It's fully documented in this RFC
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt

Probably eassier would be to create an appointment and save it as *.ics and
look what's inside with Notepad

However, Outlook doesn't support the VTODO type of iCalendar file, which is
what you'd need to create tasks, only VEVENT.
