Invalid VTIMEZONE

[scott-k-mitchell]

EDIT: I see that this concern was raised in Issue #58. To summarize, you are aware that the serialized VTIMEZONE result does not conform to the standard and fixing it is a low priority.

I am trying to create a iCalendar file that specifies the time zones. According to this page in the Wiki, https://github.com/rianjs/ical.net/wiki/Working-with-time-zones, we are to accomplish this accordingly:

calendar.AddTimeZone(new VTimeZone("America/New_York"));

I've done that, and I've specified the timezone as part of the CalDateTime constructor (e.g., new CalDateTime(myDateAndTime, "America/New_York")), but what gets serialized does not validate. In the VTIMEZONE section it only specified the TZID, it does not include the rules for standard and daylight savings times, the UTC offset, etc.

Here's the result:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//EDU Business Solutions//SchedjIt//EN
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:America/Los_Angeles
END:VTIMEZONE
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20160916T214959Z
DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161202T173000
SEQUENCE:0
UID:00901ec8-4546-4ad5-a69d-26e81d69d278
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

But when I validate the file, I get this error:

At least one STANDARD or DAYLIGHT property must be defined here near line # 4

Am I missing something here, or are timezones not yet implemented?

Thanks

@scott-k-mitchell - As I understand your issue, you want the time zones specified at the VCALENDAR level. I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #58 (thanks for linking to it). If you disagree, please re-open.

I'm also going to comment on #58 regarding my thinking RE: time zones. I've changed my mind a bit.
