The C sample is using ORBit2 but any ORB will eventually do.

The Exchange calendar is just a folder within your Exchange mailbox.  
The objects within this folder has a few basic properties and then  
some calendar specific ones. You can get the special calendar folder  
by several means. One is to do it with raw MAPI, but I would recommend  
that you use BRUTUS::IMAPISession::GetOutlookFolder(). The C sample is  
doing it using raw MAPI, so that way is also documented. Look in  
brutus_utils.c for the get_outlook_folder() function. Look in main.c: 
982 where this function is used to get the Personal Address Book on  
Exchange. Substitute the enum with the calendar specific one and you  
will get the calendar instead.

Please subscribe to brutus-list(*) as evolution-list isn't the right  
place to discuss Exchange access based upon Brutus.
