    Hi pen_2,

    the following statecode and statuscodes are correct for appointments:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb890230.aspx

    for "Scheduled" the statuscodes 5 (Busy) and 6 (Out of Office) are correct.

    You used the value "-1", so I think here could be a reasong why the appointment is not visible.

    Best regards,
    Jürgen

    Appointment and task are not in parent/child relation. Appointment is on the same level as task or fax or e-mail entity so proper relation is for example appointment:activitypointer(1:N) and activitypointer:incident(1:N).

    Hi Dany,

    do you mean the web-based CRM-calendar or the calendar of Outlook?

    If the appointment is somehow related to you (owner, organizer, required, optional) is should be display in the web-based CRM-calendar immediately and after some minutes (after the synchronization) in the calendar of Outlook.

    Best regards,
    Jürgen

    Hi, Deny. When you are creating appointment programmaly you have to fill Due field and to see this appontment in calendar and you must be related to this appointment (owner, organizer, required, optional).

    Hi
        Here is code sample:

    DynamicEntity dynent_activityparty = new DynamicEntity("activityparty");
                dynent_activityparty.Properties.Add(new LookupProperty("partyid", new Lookup(EntityName.systemuser.ToString(), new Guid("{2754B2CF-1224-DE11-9A53-00155D037105}"))));
                dynent_activityparty.Properties.Add(new PicklistProperty("participationtypemask", new Picklist(ParticipationType.Resource)));
                DynamicEntity dynent_appointment = new DynamicEntity("appointment");

                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new StringProperty("description", "Book test"));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new CrmDateTimeProperty("scheduledstart", CrmDateTime.FromUser(DateTime.Parse("2009-05-21 12:30"))));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new CrmDateTimeProperty("scheduledend", CrmDateTime.FromUser(DateTime.Parse("2009-05-21 13:30"))));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new StringProperty("location","Office"));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new StringProperty("subject","Testing book appointment"));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new DynamicEntityArrayProperty("requiredattendees", new DynamicEntity[] { dynent_activityparty }));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new StatusProperty("statuscode", new Status(-1)));
                dynent_appointment.Properties.Add(new StateProperty("statecode", "Scheduled"));
               
                TargetScheduleDynamic target = new TargetScheduleDynamic();
                target.Entity = dynent_appointment;
                BookRequest book = new BookRequest();
                book.Target = target;
                BookResponse bookresp = (BookResponse)crmService.Execute(book);


    Hope it helps
    everything is a matter of probability...

    Hi Jurgen
       Value "-1" states for default. Why do you think that I had a problem with not visible appointment? Thread is started by Dany85 not me. I'm using this code in some sheduling customizations and it is working without any problems.

    EDIT:
    Of course you must check 'bookresp.ValidationResult.ValidationSuccess' if request was succesfull.

    Hi, Dany.

    Try add following code to server call to see Exception Source:


    try
{
service.Create(myappointment);
}
catch(SoapException ex)
{
throw new Exception(ex.Detail.InnerText);
}

    Hi Dany
        First problem is in statuscode/statecode. When you create apppointment you have default state set as 'open' and '5' is wrong status for this state. Second problem may be in setting period, change this:

    myappointment.scheduledstart = new
 CrmDateTime();<br/>
myappointment.scheduledstart.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).ToLongDateString();
    
myappointment.scheduledend = new
 CrmDateTime();<br/>
myappointment.scheduledend.Value = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).ToLongDateString();
    To this:
    myappointment.scheduledstart = CrmDateTime.FromUser(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1));
    
myappointment.scheduledend = CrmDateTime.FromUser(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1));
    To see this appointment in calendar you should also set 'requiredattendees' property.
