• GetEvents() – gets all events in a certain calendar

  	using System.Threading.Tasks;

  	public static IQueryable<Event> GetEventsViaExtensions()
  	{
  	Guid calendarId = Guid.NewGuid();
  	var manager = EventsManager.GetManager();
  	var calendarItem = manager.CreateCalendar(calendarId);
  	calendarItem.Title = "Calendar item 1";
  	calendarItem.UrlName = "calendar-item-1";
  	manager.SaveChanges();
  	var existingCalendarItem = manager.GetCalendar(calendarId);
  	var events = existingCalendarItem.GetEvents();
  	return events;
  	}
  	}
  	}

In the example above we are creating a Calendar via the CreateCalendar method of EventsManager. See For developers: Calendars article for more information. Then we are getting the created calendar item and retrieving all events that are related to it via the GetEvents method. 


• GetOccurrences() – gets all occurrences of an event
  
  

  	using System;
  	using System.Collections.Generic;
  	using System.Linq;
  	using System.Text;
  	using System.Threading.Tasks;
  	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Events;
  	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model;
  	namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.Events.Calendars
  	{
  	public partial class CalendarSnippets
  	{
  	public static IEnumerable<EventOccurrence> GetOccurences()
  	{
  	var timeNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
  	var manager = EventsManager.GetManager();
  	var e1Id = Guid.NewGuid();
  	var e1Title = "TestEvent1";
  	var e1Descr = "TestEvent1 description";
  	var e1Content = "TestEvent1 content";
  	var e1StartDate = timeNow;
  	var e1EndDate = timeNow.AddDays(5);
  	var e1Location = "Test location";
  	var e1 = manager.CreateEvent(e1Id);
  	e1.Title = e1Title;
  	e1.Description = e1Descr;
  	e1.Content = e1Content;
  	e1.EventStart = e1StartDate;
  	e1.EventEnd = e1EndDate;
  	e1.IsRecurrent = false;
  	e1.Location = e1Location;
  	manager.Lifecycle.Publish(e1);
  	manager.SaveChanges();
  	e1 = manager.GetEvent(e1Id);
  	var occurrences = e1.GetOccurrences();
  	return occurrences;
  	}
  	}
  	}

This example creates new event with specified Title, Description, Content, EventStart, EventEnd, Location and IsRecurrent properties. If the event is recurrent (IsRecurrent property is set to "true') - you can get all the occurrences via the GetOccurrences method.


• GetOccurrences(this Event eventItem, DateTime? dateTime, DateTime? endDate ) – gets all occurrences of an event for the specified period of time
  
  

  	using System;
  	using System.Collections.Generic;
  	using System.Linq;
  	using System.Text;
  	using System.Threading.Tasks;
  	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Events;
  	using Telerik.Sitefinity.Events.Model;
  	namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.Events.Calendars
  	{
  	public partial class CalendarSnippets
  	{
  	public static IEnumerable<EventOccurrence> GetOccurrencesForTimePeriod()
  	{
  	var timeNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
  	var manager = EventsManager.GetManager();
  	var e1Id = Guid.NewGuid();
  	var e1Title = "TestEvent1";
  	var e1Descr = "TestEvent1 description";
  	var e1Content = "TestEvent1 content";
  	var e1StartDate = timeNow;
  	var e1EndDate = timeNow.AddDays(5);
  	var e1Location = "Test location";
  	var e1 = manager.CreateEvent(e1Id);
  	e1.Title = e1Title;
  	e1.Description = e1Descr;
  	e1.Content = e1Content;
  	e1.EventStart = e1StartDate;
  	e1.EventEnd = e1EndDate;
  	e1.IsRecurrent = false;
  	e1.Location = e1Location;
  	manager.Lifecycle.Publish(e1);
  	manager.SaveChanges();
  	e1 = manager.GetEvent(e1Id);
  	var occurrences = e1.GetOccurrences(e1StartDate, null);
  	return occurrences;
  	}
  	}
  	}
