    NEW TO SITEFINITY?

    Use the following code sample to create a recurrent all-day event with specific timezone ID:

    using System;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Events;
    using Telerik.Sitefinity.RecurrentRules;
    namespace SitefinityWebApp
    {
    public class CreateAllDayRecurrentEvents
    {
    public static void CreateRecurrentAllDayEvent()
    {
    /// Creates a date in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) format
    var startDate = new DateTime(2015, 11, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
    /// Creates end date which is 10 days after the start event date.
    var endDate = startDate.AddDays(10);
    ///Gets an instance of the events manager.
    EventsManager manager = EventsManager.GetManager();
    Guid id = Guid.NewGuid();
    /// Set timezone id.
    string utcTimezoneId = "UTC";
    /// Creates a new event with the given identity
    Event recurrentEvent = manager.CreateEvent(id);
    ///Set Title (name) of the content item
    recurrentEvent.Title = "Recurrent all day event";
    ///Sets the description of this content.
    recurrentEvent.Description = "Recurrent all day event description";
    ///Sets the event content
    recurrentEvent.Content = "Recurrent all day event content";
    ///Sets the start date/time of the event in UTC.
    recurrentEvent.EventStart = startDate;
    ///Sets the end date/time of the event in UTC.
    recurrentEvent.EventEnd = endDate;
    ///Sets whether the event contains any recurrence logic.
    recurrentEvent.IsRecurrent = true;
    ///Sets whether the event is all day event.
    recurrentEvent.AllDayEvent = true;
    ///Sets the location of the current event.
    recurrentEvent.Location = "Recurrent all day event location";
    ///Sets the time zone id associated with the event
    ///This property is used for persisting the timezone chosen when creating an Event.
    ///The value of this property is important for recurrent events because it is
    ///used in recurrence expressions and DST as well.
    ///The TimeZoneId is a key string that uniquely identifies a particular time zone.
    recurrentEvent.TimeZoneId = utcTimezoneId;
    /// Defines methods for interacting/creating recurrence rules.
    var rrBuilder = new RecurrenceRuleBuilder();
    /// Creates an expression for a recurrent all day event with one day duration and 10 days occurrences.
    var recurrentExpression = rrBuilder.CreateDailyRecurrenceExpression(startDate, TimeSpan.FromDays(1), endDate, 10, 1, utcTimezoneId);
    ///Sets the recurrence expression associated with the event.
    recurrentEvent.RecurrenceExpression = recurrentExpression;
    /// Publishes the defined event.
    manager.Lifecycle.Publish(recurrentEvent);
    /// Save the changes made to events retrieved with this manager.
    manager.SaveChanges();
    }
    }
    }
