Out2GCal Beta 2 By Ian Z Ledrick aka "Thisita" 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] - Categories as Google Calendars What it doesn't do YET: -Show Busy/Free/Tentative -Show High Importance [Working on it, for some reason it is giving me troubles lol, I'm going to use a differnt technique, when finished it will be as another calander which is already being made for it] -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 -High Importance code is in, but not working for whatever reason, switching to different method in next release POSSIBLE BUGS: -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 the upload categories button [only do this at first set up, and when you rename/add new categories, Google has a 24hr abuse time-out after so many calendar changes, and with the basic set of categories will trip it in 3 clicks of it] 7) Click Upload to sync the data [Allow 15min between uploads, This is google's server problem, not mine] - WILL DELETE ALL GOOGLE EVENTS/CALENDARS AND REWRITE WITH OUTLOOK DATA CHANGELOG: 7/25/2010 Beta 2 - Categories support/functionality - Hitting enter/return on password dialog works - Start of High Importance support - Full recurrence support [sending them as individual events to Google]
