4. Follow the same steps to add a reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library.
5. In the Code window, replace all the code with the following code:

   using System;
   
   namespace Samples
   {
   	class Class1
   	{
   		static void Main(string[] args)
   		{
   			try 
   			{
   			CDO.Appointment oApp = new CDO.Appointment();
   
                           // TODO: Replace with your folder URL
   			string sURL = "http://ExchServer/Exchange/UserAlias/calendar";
   
   			ADODB.Connection oCn = new ADODB.Connection();
   			oCn.Provider = "exoledb.datasource";
   
   			oCn.Open(sURL, "", "", 0);  
   			if(oCn.State == 1)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("Good Connection");
   			}
   			else
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("Bad Connection");
   			}			
   						
   			CDO.Configuration iConfg = new CDO.Configuration();
   			ADODB.Fields oFields;
   
   
   			oFields = iConfg.Fields;
   			oFields[CDO.CdoCalendar.cdoTimeZoneIDURN].Value = CDO.CdoTimeZoneId.cdoPacific;
   			oFields.Update();
   
   			oApp.Configuration = iConfg;
   			oApp.StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime("10/11/2001 10:00:00 AM");
   			oApp.EndTime = Convert.ToDateTime("10/11/2001 11:00:00 AM");
   			oApp.Location = "My Cube";
   			oApp.Subject = "Test Create App in C#";
   			oApp.TextBody = "Hello...";
   
   			// Add Recurring
   			// Every Thursday starting Today and run 3 times
   			CDO.IRecurrencePatterns iRPatters = oApp.RecurrencePatterns;
   			CDO.IRecurrencePattern iRPatter = iRPatters.Add("Add");
   			iRPatter.Frequency = CDO.CdoFrequency.cdoWeekly;
   			iRPatter.Interval = 1;    // 1 hour from 10 to 11
   			iRPatter.DaysOfWeek.Add(4);  // every Thursday
   			iRPatter.Instances = 3;
   
   			// Specify Exceptions
   			CDO.IExceptions iExceps = oApp.Exceptions;
   			CDO.IException iExcep;
   
   			// Delete
   			iExcep = oApp.Exceptions.Add("DELETE");	
   			iExcep.RecurrenceID = Convert.ToDateTime("10/11/2001 10:00:00 AM");
   
   			// Modify
   			iExcep = oApp.Exceptions.Add("MODIFY");	
   			iExcep.RecurrenceID = Convert.ToDateTime("10/18/2001 10:00:00 AM");
   			iExcep.StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime("10/17/2001 10:00:00 AM");
   			iExcep.EndTime = Convert.ToDateTime("10/17/2001 1:00:00 pM");
   
   			
   			oApp.DataSource.SaveToContainer(sURL, null, 
   				ADODB.ConnectModeEnum.adModeReadWrite, 
   				ADODB.RecordCreateOptionsEnum.adCreateNonCollection, 
   				ADODB.RecordOpenOptionsEnum.adOpenSource, 
   				"", "");
   
   			oCn.Close();
   
   			oApp = null;
   			oCn = null;
   			oFields = null;
   			}
   			catch (Exception e)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
   			}			
   		}
           }
   }
