    bool canRemoveOutlookEvents
)

VB.NET

Public Function ExportSchedulerToOutlookAsync(
    canRemoveOutlookEvents As Boolean
) As Task

Parameters

canRemoveOutlookEvents	Boolean	true to clear Outlook 365 calendars before export; otherwise, false.

Returns

Remarks

Important

You must initialize the DXOutlook365Sync component before using the ExportSchedulerToOutlookAsync method. Otherwise, the DXOutlook365Sync component throws an exception.

The ExportSchedulerToOutlookAsync method exports the appointments from the Scheduler control to the Office365 calendars with synchronization enabled (EnableSynchronization). Appointments that do not have corresponding events in Outlook 365 are exported to the default calendar in Office365.
