What is iCal.NET?

iCal.NET is an iCalendar (RFC 5545) class library for .NET aimed at providing RFC 5545 compliance, while providing full compatibility with popular calendaring applications and libraries.

Mission Statement

Make ICal.NET the best in class for .NET - in terms of usability, performance and reliability (RFC compliance / compatibility).

Join the project and help to achieve this goal!

Getting iCal.Net

iCal.Net v5 pre-releases

Starting with 5.0.0-pre.39, iCal.Net v5 pre-releases are available as NuGet Packages

v5 is an extensive rewrite of the library, with a focus on performance, correctness and usability. All issues reported in prior versions have been addressed, and the library has been thoroughly tested.

Daily pre-releases are available as GitHub Packages<br/> and from the zipped packages folder.

We strongly recommend using the pre-release packages. They are stable and contain many bug fixes and improvements over the v4 release.<br/> See the API Changes Document for more information.

iCal.Net v4

is still available as a NuGet Package.

Examples

The wiki contains several pages of examples of common ical.net usage scenarios.

Versioning

ical.net uses semantic versioning. In a nutshell:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

  1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
  2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and
  3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

Contributing

Support

  • We ask and encourage you to contribute back to the project. This is especially true if you are using the library in a commercial product.

  • Questions asked in the discussion area are open to the community or experienced users to answer. Give maintainers a helping hand by answering questions whenever you can.

  • Remember that keeping ical.net up is something ical.net maintainers and many contributors do in their spare time.

<details closed> <summary> Paid support </summary>

In case you need it, Rian Stockbower may offer paid support and bugfixes. A few basic rules to consider when asking for this kind of support:

  • Any changes made to the ical.net library are open source, and will always be published on nuget for others to consume.
  • You do not own the changes made to the library even if you paid for them.
  • Congruence with the ical-org vision for the future of ical.net is required. That means we step back from things like "add Exchange interop", or take dependencies on third-party libraries that benefit only your one or very few use cases.
