Serialization.cs

SchedulerCompatibility.Base64XmlObjectSerialization = true;
foreach (Appointment apt in scheduler.ActiveView.GetAppointments()) {
    AppointmentXmlPersistenceHelper helper = 
        new AppointmentXmlPersistenceHelper(apt, null);
    apt.Description = helper.ToXml();
}

Serialization.vb

SchedulerCompatibility.Base64XmlObjectSerialization = True
For Each apt As Appointment In scheduler.ActiveView.GetAppointments()
    Dim helper As New AppointmentXmlPersistenceHelper(apt, Nothing)
    apt.Description = helper.ToXml()
Next apt
