Add Contacts' Birthdays to Calendar

Windows Mobile 6.5
4/8/2010

This code sample is named BirthdaysToCalendar. It demonstrates how to write a managed Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) application.

  1. Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution files are copied to the following folders:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK\Samples\Common\CS\BirthdaysToCalendar

    Microsoft Visual Studio launches and loads the solution.

  2. Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).

  3. Deploy the solution (F5).

  • To add the birthdays to the calendar, choose Add from BirthdaysToCalendar's menu.

SDK: Windows Mobile Professional SDK and Windows Mobile Standard SDK

Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005 or 2008.

ActiveSync: Version 4.5.

BirthdaysToCalendar iterates through a contact collection, and adds the birthday of the each contact to the Calendar, as a yearly, recurring, all-day event.

It is assumed that you have a set of Contacts with valid Birthdays.
