  Problem with icalendar for characters with accents

  Apr 13, 2012 03:12 PM|LINK

  Hello

  I have a problem with icalendar for characters with accents.  The string is converted Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1250");

   

  sb.AppendLine("BEGIN:VCALENDAR");

  sb.AppendLine("VERSION:2.0");

  sb.AppendLine("PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN");

  sb.AppendLine("BEGIN:VEVENT");

  sb.AppendLine("DTSTART:" + startDateAndTime);

  sb.AppendLine("DTEND:" + endDateAndTime);

  if (IsWindows_1250_Encoding(summary))

  sb.AppendLine("SUMMARY;CHARSET=Windows-1250:" + ConvertUTF8ToWin1250(summary));

  else

  sb.AppendLine("SUMMARY;CHARSET=Windows-1252:" + ConvertUTF8ToWin1252(summary));

  if (IsWindows_1250_Encoding(description))

  sb.AppendLine("DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=Windows-1250:" + ConvertUTF8ToWin1250(description));

  else

  sb.AppendLine("DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=Windows-1252:" + ConvertUTF8ToWin1252(description));

  sb.AppendLine("END:VEVENT");

  sb.AppendLine("END:VCALENDAR");

   

   And both CHARSET=Windows-1250 and CHARSET=Windows-1252 are added before the description and summary but it does not display that characters while the calendar open in outlook. Here is the output for icalendar on notepad which is correct but it doesn’t diplay these characters on outlook calendar.

  BEGIN:VCALENDAR
  VERSION:2.0
  PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
  BEGIN:VEVENT
  DTSTART:20120327T150600
  DTEND:20120531T150600
  SUMMARY;CHARSET=Windows-1252: úaaaa ö é á á újí á í á á ó é ó
  DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=Windows-1252: ú ö é á á újí á í á á ó é ó
  END:VEVENT
  END:VCALENDAR

   

  Is there any suggestion?

  Thanks
