Hi Amanda, If you are are using Google Apps for Domain, you should be able to 2-legged OAuth to create calendar entries for your users without needing their authorization.
If you don't, you should use 3-legged OAuth and have them authorizing your application to create calendar event on their behalf. See the following links for more information: 2 legged OAuth for GDada documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/auth/oauth.html#2LeggedOAuth 2 legged OAuth .NET sample: http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/source/browse/trunk/clients/cs/samples/OAuth/Program.cs Calendar OAuth documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#AuthOAuth General OAuth documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth.html#GoogleAppsOAuth About adding users to event you should check out this .NET sample for Calendar API: http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/source/browse/trunk/clients/cs/samples/BookThemAll/BookThemAll.cs#108 Who who = new Who(); who.Email = member; who.Rel = Who.RelType.EVENT_ATTENDEE; entry.Participants.Add(who); Hope that helps.
