Yes, vObjectLib is great, has many functions that help with reading and
correctly writing .ics files.
I wish I had remembered vObjectLib and based my library on top of it :-(
(btw - it is still publicly available at http://fon.nu/vobjectlib
<http://www.super-resume.com/Index$SetST.jtp?p=1>unless there was a
later version anywhere else)
However, vObjectLib has very little to help with correctly interpreting
.ics files - so if you need to deal with
- multiple time zones
- the variety of ways that time zone settings or time zone info can be
represented
- recurring events
- multi-day events (even from 11pm until 2am counts as multi-day)
- lots of other oddities
then you have to do that yourself.

Andre had some amazing libs for this
it was not iCal specific but broader "vObjectLib" he called it...
with that you could roll your own functions easily for iCal..
I use to use it a lot and plan to use it again in a future mobile app.
snippets from my old code
# Create a new entry
put tDate into tEntrydate
put GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Summary") into tSummary
put GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Description") into
tRawDescription
put crunchDescription(tRawDescription) into tDescription
else
# date has not changed so we just pile up the events we want
put ", " & GetvObjectPropertyValue(tEvent, "Summary")
after tExtraEvents
next repeat
If anyone is interested I can ask him if I can release it...
it was really robust and pretty bug free...the stack script has over
250 vCard functions, including a lot of iCal stuff.
still works... .ics format has not changed much for years.
Swasti Astu, Be Well!

Over in the Create It with LiveCode Class we are working on the
iCalendar
App for the iPad, and we have a request to create an open source
project
to
read and write to the iCalendar universal calendar file format
[.ics]. It
is used by several email and calendar programs, including Microsoft
Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple iCalendar; enabling users to
publish
and share calendar information on the Web and over email; often used
for
sending meeting requests to other users, who can import the events into
their own calendars. Here are the specs:
