Nice!!
but let me understand what you have in your hands. Is it a Control capable
of parsing a .ics file? Where are the sources?
Because I think it is the best stuff we can add to the calendar desklet. It
would be great, for me, to be able to access an .ics file because (in read
only mode) with that every user can see its personal set of events on the
desklet.
If u check this list "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support";,
there is a lot of application that support it!! With it we catch them all!!
