Google Calendar API, Adding an event to someones calendar just by knowing their e-mail address

Question

I have downloaded the Google.Apis namespace:

using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Calendar.v3;
using Google.Apis.Calendar.v3.Data;
using Google.Apis.Services;

I've spent the entire day looking on the web to see .NET samples about how I can possible add an event to someones calendar just by knowing their e-mail address.

I tried the following code, but it's bringing up errors and it's quite obvious that it isn't going to work:

Public void Method(string email, string text)
{
UserCredential credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
                new ClientSecrets
                {
                    ClientId = "CLIENTID",
                    ClientSecret = "CLIENTSECRET",
                },
                new[] { CalendarService.Scope.Calendar },
                "user",
                CancellationToken.None).Result;

   // Create the service.
   var service = new CalendarService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
   {
                HttpClientInitializer = credential,
                ApplicationName = "Calendar API Sample",
   });


    Event event1 = new Event()
    {
      Summary = "Something",
      Location = "Somewhere",
      Start = new EventDateTime() {
          DateTime = DateTime.Now,
          TimeZone = "America/Los_Angeles"
      },
      End = new EventDateTime() {
          DateTime = DateTime.Now,
          TimeZone = "America/Los_Angeles"
      },
      Attendees = new List<EventAttendee>()
          {
            new EventAttendee() { Email: email } //bringing up an error "Syntax ',' expected
          }
    };

    Event thisevent = service.Events.Insert(event1, "primary").Fetch(); // Another error. "Does not contain a definition for Fetch"

}

Any help is appreciated! Even samples of other code :)

There are syntax errors in the part where you create the event and insert it. Here is a snippet that has correct syntax for the Google API .NET library:

Event myEvent = new Event
{
  Summary = "Appointment",
  Location = "Somewhere",
  Start = new EventDateTime() {
      DateTime = new DateTime(2014, 6, 2, 10, 0, 0),
      TimeZone = "America/Los_Angeles"
  },
  End = new EventDateTime() {
      DateTime = new DateTime(2014, 6, 2, 10, 30, 0),
      TimeZone = "America/Los_Angeles"
  },
  Recurrence = new String[] {
      "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO"
  },
  Attendees = new List<EventAttendee>()
      {
        new EventAttendee() { Email = "[email protected]" }
      }
};

Event recurringEvent = service.Events.Insert(myEvent, "primary").Execute();
