.NET CalDAV / CardDAV Client Library

(Source Code and Harness Application)

Purpose

This Client Library is provided for convenience to allow CardDAV/CalDAV connectivity within Microsoft Visual Studio projects. It is an abstraction Library that provides simple CalDAV / CardDAV connectivity.

The library also includes a primitive interface for parsing Calendar and Contact properties; although this is provided as a stub only (an implementation would involve sourcing a comprehensive parser of VCALENDAR and VCARDs).

The Library is intended as an acceleration tool that provides a core framework for connectivity to CalDAV / CardDAV Services.
