Handling calendar items in VSTO

Hi there,

do anyone know what exactly am I able to do with calendar items in VSTO? I
want to make a simple plugin that would synchronize my local calendar and my
Exchange calendar. It's pretty easy to insert new items using .Copy() and
..Move() methods. But I have problems with updates - if I update an item in
one calendar and I want to make the same changes in the other item. Is there
any easy way to do this? Or I need to check and copy values of each field?
The problem is also that I can't find the Label (Business, Important etc.)
field at all so I'm not able to copy it.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Jiri
 
I'd go with deleting the old item and copying the changed item rather than trying to do a field-by-field update. It would be up to your application to (a) track when an item changes and (b) know which item to delete in the other folder. That means setting up your own linking system, probably through a custom field.
