Cannot open ics files

Aspose.Email Product Family
1

Hi I have a few sample ics files and none of them open. I am trying to convert them to msg files as per your documentation here: Convert ICS to MSG via C# | products.aspose.com

I keep getting an error “The MailMessage is corrupted” on all three examples, but I can open all of them up in Outlook. Am I missing something?

IcsLoadFailure.zip (120.2 KB)

Thanks,
Charles

The MailMessage class is not designed to work with the ICS format, the LOAD method accepts messages in the EML and MSG formats. Instead, to convert ICS to MSG, please use the Appointment class as shown below.

Aspose.Email.Calendar.Appointment app = Aspose.Email.Calendar.Appointment.Load(fileName);
app.Save(fileName + ".msg", Aspose.Email.Calendar.AppointmentSaveFormat.Msg);

Hi Tahir, thank you for the info, that worked. I would remove or update the link I gave in the original post, because that is no longer valid.
