Adding Calendar Events to Google Calendar in C#

I’ve replaced a custom event page for the Thistle Society with a list extracted dynamically from a Google Calendar. Following on from the previous article, Loading XML in C# with XML Serialisation, I needed to upload the events into the Google Calendar from my C# application (Event Manager).

The Making of … Kajabity YearChart – Part 1

I am really proud of Kajabity YearChart because it is the first time I have produced a complete application all on my own and published it.
