I have calendar data in the vCalendar format present in a seperate file.   Now I need to send the meeting invitation so it appears as a meeting invitation in outlook ... but I've so far only managed to create an email with the .ics (vCalendar) file as an attachment (i suppose this is a problem with the content-type of the email which is likely to be either text/html or text/plain ... instead of text/calendar?!

Here is what I've tried so far:

      Smtp smtp = new Smtp();
      smtp.From.AsString = "blabla@blabla.com";
      smtp.To.AsString = "receiver@receiver.com";
      smtp.Subject = "Test meeting";

      smtp.SmtpServers.Add("my mailserver.com", "myaccountname", "mypassword");

      TextBodyPart part = smtp.Message.BodyParts.Add("text/calendar");
      part.Headers.Add("Conten t-Type", "text/calendar", true);
      part.Headers.Add("Conten t-Disposition", "inline", true);
      part.TransferEncoding = MailTransferEncoding.Raw8bit;

      smtp.Message.BodyHtmlTex t = null;
      smtp.Message.BodyPlainTe xt = null;

      smtp.Message.Builder.Htm lToPlainMode = HtmlToPlainAutoConvert.Never;
      smtp.Message.Builder.Htm lToPlainOptions = HtmlToPlainConvertOptions.None;

      StreamReader rd = new StreamReader(@"c:\test.ics");
      string content = rd.ReadToEnd();

      part.Text = content;

      smtp.Send();

Any help is appreciated!!!
