Is is possible to add events to the event calendar by writing code to do this.

I am going to have a custom web part that will list several meetings with
date/times. I want to clikc on a meeting and have it automatically add to the
event calendar on the correct date and time. But i cannot find the necessary
documentation to write this code.

Is this possible?

A calendar is in fact just a normal SharePoint list, so you can use the
following code in a web part to add an item:
SPSite site = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context);
SPList destList =
site.AllWebs["Destination_Site"].Lists["Destination_List"];

SPListItemCollection listItems = destList.Items;

SPListItem newItem = listItems.Add();

newItem["Field1_Name"] = "Scenario 2";
newItem["Field2_Name"] = 45;
newItem["Field3_Name"] = "A sample note for this item.";

newItem.Update();Full article:http://tinyurl.com/43tkp

Thanks for the help! This seems easy enough. However, I dont think I
understand how it knows that it is going to the calendar list. Where should
I look to find the name of my calendar list and also what the exact field
names are for calendar lists. For instance "title", "begin date" and so on....

This is my first time using the class library (all my other web parts have
just been simple)....

Thanks again for your input!

The name of the list is the name which you've chosen when you created the
calendar in your sharepoint site. You can verify what columns exists on the
list by clicking the Modify settings and columns link.

Fyi, you can use this tool as well to find out what's on your SharePoint
site:

That tool is great, thanks.

Excuse me for my lack of knowledge, however, I am on a crash course web
parts mission so I can work on a project for sharepoint.

I do not see "Modify settings and columns link"??? I only see "Modify Shared
Web Part" and then you basic tool pane? What am I doing wrong??

Thanks again, you have been very helpful!

You have to navigate to the List by clicking on the link in the quick
navigation for example. Then on your left you will have a couple of links,
one of them is Modify columns and settings.

So i have created a site called "My Team Site" and I am working with the code
you gave me below.

The site is located at "htto://localhost/sites/myteamsite"

However, I cannot seem to get the AllWebs["Destination_Site"] part
correctly. I have tried entering in several different things but they are
throwing errors. Haven't found any good examples using this yet.

I think i will have it after this!

Thanks!
