ASP.Net: Outlook integration

Today i came across a very interesting RFC which is basically a simple to develop yet powerful feature.

Yes it is dynamic creation of ics files. ICS stands for internet connection sharing.
Basically i had taken few online courses from the dot net site and there they had this add to outlook calendar option. I right clicked on the file and saved it to my desktop and opened it in note pad to see a flat file. so i created my own ics file and then double clicked it and there it goes in to my outlook calendar. Later i searched the net to find out that there is a RFC for ics.

So came across vcard vcf RFC too. Such things are easy to code but to an end user it looks very great when they use the feature.

Remember what ever looks difficult might be easy to code :) and sometimes it may be viceversa too.
