Ok. So this is somehow a mixup between documentation and implementation. From my testing, calendar currently creates default reminders when you send an entry looking like this:
<entry> ... <gd:reminder/> </entry> So you need to have a completely empty reminder element inside the eventEntry. Now the current version of .NET does not do that :) There is an optimization in the save code that says, don't send empty stuff around for the reminder. I removed that optimization, and then code like below works if you add the following line: entry.Reminder = new Reminder() to create the empty <gd:reminder/>. If you don't want to send a Reminder element at all, just do entry.Reminder= null; I have updated Release/ASP/Mobile dlls in subversion. If you could please see if that fixes your issue, and let me know. Regards Frank Mantek Google On Oct 17, 2007, at 9:29 PM, grinndaddy wrote: > > Sure.
