HTML viewer for ics (iCal) files [closed]

Tags:

icalendar

I'm creating a small app in ASP.NET MVC that generates ics (iCal) files based on certain criterias. The generated files are accessible through a permanent URL (http://myserver/some/criterias.ics).

I am looking for a way to display the calendar data on the page to give the user a preview of the generated file. Ideally, I'd like a Google Calendar type interface embedded in the page. Unfortunately, Google Calendar only seems to allow embedding calendars that have previously been added to their system.

Is there any free service or library that will allow me to embed a calendar for an arbitrary ics file on my site?

Does iCal support HTML?

So, in short, the answer to your original question is that iCal info window does not, and is not supposed to, support HTML.

How do I automatically open an ICS file?

By clicking on “Select file from your computer”, you can search your computer for the ICS file, select it, open it and automatically enter the event by choosing “Import”.

I've found InstantCal, which does what I want. The display it creates is not that great though. Also, it seems buggy in Chrome.

I'd like something similar, with a simpler, nicer interface.

There's a program written in php that, IIRC, does this type of thing.

PHP iCalendar it is called.
