Remarks

The method employs the Appointment Factory (accessible with the AppointmentStorageBase.AppointmentFactory property) to create an appointment.

Use the CreateAppointment method to create an appointment of the specified type. This method also creates all the required custom fields and adds it to the appointment’s CustomFieldCollection, available via the PersistentObject.CustomFields property. To add custom fields to the appointment manually use the PersistentObjectStorage<T>.CreateCustomFields method.

Subsequently use the AppointmentStorageBase.Add method to add a newly created appointment to the storage.
