AppointmentExporter.Export(Stream) Method

Exports appointments to the specified stream.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Exchange

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v24.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public virtual void Export(
    Stream stream
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Sub Export(
    stream As Stream
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream object which represents the stream the appointments will be exported to.

Remarks

This method should be overridden in descendants of the AppointmentExporter class.

To export appointments to a MS Outlook calendar, use the OutlookExport class obtained by using the SchedulerStorageBase.CreateOutlookExporter method. The OutlookExport class descends from the AppointmentExporter class and overrides its Export method, so that the stream parameter is ignored. You can set it to any value or to the Null, as illustrated in the following code snippet:

C#

using DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Exchange;
using DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Outlook;
//...
// Create an exporter class instance.
AppointmentExporter exporter = schedulerStorage.CreateOutlookExporter();
// Specify a path to the calendar folder.
((ISupportCalendarFolders)importer).CalendarFolderName = "\\\\Personal Folders\\MyCalendar";
// Prepare a progress bar or perform other actions prior to import.
BeforeExport(exporter.SourceObjectCount);
// Perform the export.
// The Outlook exporter ignores the stream parameter of the Export method, 
// so it can be set to any object of the Stream type
// or to the System.IO.Stream.Null.
try
    {
        exporter.Export(System.IO.Stream.Null);
    }
finally
    {
        // Finalize the process.
        AfterExport();
    }

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Exchange
Imports DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Outlook
'...
' Create an exporter class instance.
Dim exporter As AppointmentExporter = schedulerStorage.CreateOutlookExporter()
' Specify a path to the calendar folder.
CType(importer, ISupportCalendarFolders).CalendarFolderName = "\\Personal Folders\MyCalendar"
' Prepare a progress bar or perform other actions prior to import.
BeforeExport(exporter.SourceObjectCount)
' Perform the export.
' Notice the null stream as a parameter to Export method.
Try
    exporter.Export(System.IO.Stream.Null)
Finally
    ' Finalize the process if needed.
    AfterExport()
End Try
