using DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Exchange;
using DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Outlook;
//...

// Create an importer class instance.
AppointmentImporter importer = schedulerStorage.CreateOutlookImporter();
// Specify a path to the calendar folder.
((ISupportCalendarFolders)importer).CalendarFolderName = "\\\\Personal Folders\\MyCalendar";

// Prepare a progress bar or perform other actions prior to import.
BeforeImport(importer.SourceObjectCount);

// Perform the import.
// Notice the null stream as a parameter to Import method.
try
    {
    importer.Import(System.IO.Stream.Null);
    }
finally
    {
    AfterImport();
    }

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Exchange
Imports DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Outlook
'...

' Create an importer class instance.
Dim importer As AppointmentImporter = schedulerStorage.CreateOutlookImporter()
' 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.
BeforeImport(importer.SourceObjectCount)

' Perform the import.
' Notice the null stream as a parameter to Import method.

    importer.Import(System.IO.Stream.Null)
