Demos

  • Access a user’s calendar events in an ASP.NET Core app with Microsoft Graph - APIs and SDKs.  Like how you would tie into an individual’s e-mail, Teams conversations, OneDrive files, etc., follow this 6-step process from app creation to result rendering for calendar events. Specifically highlighted is the code for middleware (for authentication), the GraphCalendarClient, injection and for rendering a person’s calendar events for a specified date range and time zone.  Step-by-step details in Learn module.   

  • Latest on Microsoft Bookings API on Microsoft Graph – Bookings is an appointment scheduling app that integrates with Outlook calendars and with Teams online meetings.  Bookings allows owner to publish their calendar to the outside world for purposes of allowing others to book appointments with owner.  Available for 3 years already, Booking APIs are now available in Graph on v1.0 endpoint.  Hear about use cases, object entities, key operations, permissions, newest APIs and roadmap. 

  • Using the MGT Agenda and Tasks Components in your solutions – 3 components reviewed – Agenda, Planner Tasks, and To-Do tasks.  Agenda – listing of future events in your calendar – specify event order, by day of week, number events, number days, by reference time zone and customized rendering.  Planner Tasks – see tasks assigned to you from multiple projects.   Essentially manage Planner tasks (add, delete, modify) without having to launch Planner App. Finally in To-do – access my Reading List, add/delete readings.
