Recurrence.cs

scheduler.Storage.Appointments.Clear();
Appointment apt = scheduler.Storage.CreateAppointment(AppointmentType.Pattern);
apt.Start = DateTime.Today.AddHours(3);
apt.End = apt.Start.AddHours(2);
apt.Subject = "TEST";

apt.RecurrenceInfo.Type = RecurrenceType.Weekly;
apt.RecurrenceInfo.Start = apt.Start;
apt.RecurrenceInfo.Periodicity = 2;
apt.RecurrenceInfo.WeekDays = WeekDays.Monday | WeekDays.Wednesday;
apt.RecurrenceInfo.Range = RecurrenceRange.OccurrenceCount;
apt.RecurrenceInfo.OccurrenceCount = 15;

string s = DevExpress.XtraScheduler.iCalendar.iCalendarHelper.ExtractRecurrenceRule(apt.RecurrenceInfo);
apt.Description = "RRULE:" + s + Environment.NewLine;
