10.2. Example — successful update

The event to be updated is represented by the following XML.

<ns3:icalendar>
  <ns3:vcalendar>
    <ns3:components>
      <ns3:vevent>
        <ns3:properties>
          <ns3:uid>
            <ns3:text>1302064354993-a</ns3:text>
          </ns3:uid>
          <ns3:summary>
            <ns3:text>try this</ns3:text>
          </ns3:summary>
          <ns3:dtstart>
            <ns3:date-time>2011-07-18T15:00:00Z</ns3:date-time>
          </ns3:dtstart>
          <ns3:dtend>
            <ns3:date-time>2011-07-18T16:00:00Z</ns3:date-time>
          </ns3:dtend>
        </ns3:properties>
      </ns3:vevent>
    </ns3:components>
  </ns3:vcalendar>
</ns3:icalendar>

In the following example we make the following changes to the above event:

Change the summary
Change the dtstart — add a tzid and change the value to local time
Add some categories

We first select an event by specifying the uid value and then, from that event, we select the properties, then select and change the appropriate properties.
