Outlook Calendar to SharePoint Add-In C#

Question

Sign in to vote

What I am trying to do is sync 3 personal calendars on Outlook with one master calendar on SharePoint. For example, any events that Person 1, 2, and 3 put on their personal calendar in Outlook will automatically show up in SharePoint whenever they add an event to their calendar. I can manually drag and drop an event from a personal Outlook to SharePoint however, I want it to just appear in the SharePoint calendar whenever an event is added to any of the personal calendars rather than dragging and dropping it. I was thinking this can be done with an add-in in C#. Any ideas?

Hi,

Based on my experience, there's no built-in feature to integrate Outlook with SharePoint that can sync calendars events to sharepoint calendars list.

But one approach I can think out is to create the calendar file(ics file) programmatically that contains the personal events. And then import it to sharepoint calenddars and add this item to sharepoint calendars by using SharePoint Object Model via C#.

For how to create and add ics file to sharepoint you can check these links:

Also you can have a look at this similar thread:

Hope this can help.
