Set timezone in MapiCalendar and add it to PST file

I’m trying to create an appointment (MapiCalendar) and add it to a PST file. I would like to specify the start timezone and end timezone for the appointment.
MapiCalendar has the StartDateTimeZone and EndDateTimeZone properties of type MapiCalendarTimeZone.

Is there a way to create a MapiCalendarTimeZone object from a “standard” timezone? For instance, do something like:

TimeZoneInfo timeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(“Pacific Standard Time”);
MapiCalendarTimeZone timeZone = new MapiCalendarTimeZone(timeZoneInfo);
or
MapiCalendarTimeZone timeZone = new MapiCalendarTimeZone(“America/Los_Angeles”);

I tried to create a MapiCalendarTimeZone object and set all its properties manually (KeyName, TimeZoneRules, Bias, DaylightDate, etc…).
Then I set the StartDateTimeZone and EndDateTimeZone in my appointment, and added it to my PST file (see attached).

But when I open my PST file in Outlook, the time zones are not set.
And when I read my PST using Aspose.Email, the time zones are set to null.

What’s the proper way of setting timezones on a MapiCalendar object?

Hi Gabriela,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support team.

I have tested the sample code using Aspose.Email for .NET 5.5.0 and observed that timezone information is null when retrieved from PST. This issue is logged under id: EMAILNET-34866 in our bug tracking system for further analysis by the product team. I shall write here as soon as some feedback is received in this regard.
