Out2GCal
Beta 1
By Ian Z Ledrick aka "Thisita"

A lot of work on this, and I can no longer test it myself because [at least I think] Google blocked my calendar account from non-internal access [i.e: I tested it too much in development and they locked me out, which is either a sign that they think I'm a spammer, or they don't want a Outlook2010 sync]

Programing Info:
- Written for .NET 4.0 in C# using VSTO included with Visual Studio 2010 Professional [A express edition will NOT work if you wish to compile yourself]
- Relies on Google API which is copyright to Google

What it does:
- Deletes EVERY event in the Google Calendar and adds your outlook calendar events from DateTime.Now until DateTime.Now.AddDays(60)
- This includes recurring appointments [that is what held me up].
NOTE: Because the google api doesn't really support [I know it is in there, but it DOESN'T work, I know] recurrent events, they are added as individual events.
-Persistence of Username/password between settings [I don't really know if that works, but it is supposed to, needless to say, I'm more worried about functionality right now]

What it doesn't do YET:
-Show Categories
-Show Busy/Free/Tentative
-Show High Importance
-Allow you to set how many days before/after.
NOTE: There is a maximum amount of events [If I remember right, 465] which is extremely easy to hit with recurring events, so I will not code in for more than 60/90 days, and full calendar will NOT happen.
-Other things that you ask that aren't listed in won't do

What it WON'T do:
-Full Calendar sync
-2-Way sync, though that might become a side project
-Make you happier with your busy schedule
-Things that I can't do with google api

KNOWN BUGS:
-Rendering of Progress Controls [in general] - If you know how to fix this, please let me know via note or comment

POSSIBLE BUGS:
-With odd type of recurring tasks [but not deleted exceptions], such as moved single occurrences
-With random M$/Google API stupidity I ran into

REQUIREMENTS:
-Office 2010
-.NET 4.0

Released under GPL v3. I [the programmer/distributor] assume NO responsibility for any physical damage, data loss, data corruption, or any other things like your cat getting pregnant.

General directions:
1) Click the dialog launcher
2) Set the user name [username@gmail.com] and password
3) Click save
4) Click the refresh button
5) Choose a Calendar from the drop down [It doesn't matter which, this makes you confirm that the account exists]
6) Click Upload to sync the data
- WILL DELETE ALL GOOGLE EVENTS AND REWRITE WITH OUTLOOK DATA
