Sync with Google Calendar both ways

Question

Do you guys know if Google calendar has any kind of "push" services? Is there a way possible to get all changes for a user's calendar since a particular timestamp?

Answer 1

if u use the Updated-min = lastsynctime you will get the correct new, updated, dleeted events aslo..

 string formatedDate = "";
        EventQuery query = new EventQuery();
        DateTime? time;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(startDate))
        {
            time = Convert.ToDateTime(startDate);
            formatedDate = string.Format("{0:s}", time);

            // Create the query object:
            query.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/" + service.Credentials.Username + "/private/full?updated-min=" + formatedDate);
        }
        else
        {
            query.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/" + service.Credentials.Username + "/private/full");
        }


        // Tell the service to query:
        EventFeed calFeed = service.Query(query);
        return calFeed.Entries.Cast<EventEntry>();

This page: http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html Contains all the information you need, including examples.

It will show you how to fetch and push items, and how to query items as you have suggested.

Hope it helps.
