Is there a known pattern for scheduling events programatically?

Question

Does anyone have a known, solid solution for the scheduling of events (i.e. appointments, meetings, etc) within a system. I'm speaking here of "events" as tasks that need to be done on a one-time or recurring basis and executed based on a schedule. I've found a schedule UI component by DevExpress and it has some reference to using custom objects but I figure someone must have solved this problem nicely already. Thanks in advance everyone for the time and effort.

Here's a nice discussion of scheduling in .NET from Ayende.
