DXOutlook365Sync.MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync(Boolean) Method

Merges the Scheduler control with Outlook 365 calendars.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Microsoft365Calendar

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v23.2.Microsoft365Calendar.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Scheduler.Core.Desktop.Microsoft365Calendar

Declaration

C#

public Task MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync(
    bool useTracker
)

VB.NET

Public Function MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync(
    useTracker As Boolean
) As Task

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
useTracker	Boolean	true to use a version control system of the DXOutlook365Sync component; otherwise, false.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	The task.

Remarks

The DXOutlook365Sync component tracks appointment changes in the Scheduler control. It also keeps track of all appointments that were exported from Outlook 365 calendars, including those that were deleted from the Scheduler control by a user or in code after import.

How it Works

Use the MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync method and set the useTracker parameter to true to remove events from Outlook 365 calendars if the corresponding appointments have already been removed from the Scheduler control.

Example: The Outlook 365 calendar has the Task-A event. A user imports events from Outlook 365 to the Scheduler control. Then, the user deletes the Task-A appointment from the Scheduler control. If you call the MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync(true) method, the Task-A event will be removed from Outlook365.

If the useTracker parameter is set to false, the MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync method imports such events (which were previously imported from Outlook 365 to Scheduler and then deleted from Scheduler) from Outlook 365 to the Scheduler control.

Example: The Outlook 365 calendar has the Task-A event. A user imports events from Outlook 365 to the Scheduler control. Then, the user deletes the Task-A appointment from the Scheduler control. If you call the MergeSchedulerAndOutlookAsync(false) method, the Task-A event will be imported from Outlook 365 to the Scheduler control.
