How to create .ics file programmatically?

问题

How can I create an icalendar file with minimum data, I try to make it as the following but somethings wrong, when I try to import to my Google calendar, it says Events successfully imported but I cant see those event on my calendar

    strResult.Append("BEGIN:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf)           

    strResult.Append("VERSION:2.0" & vbCrLf)

    strResult.Append("METHOD:PUBLISH" & vbCrLf)

    While rst1.Read
        strResult.Append("BEGIN:VEVENT" & vbCrLf)

        strResult.Append("DTSTART: " & CDate(getLeave_date_start(CStr(rst1.getInteger("inq_id")), g_dom_id)).ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ") & vbCrLf)    

        strResult.Append("DTEND: " & CDate(getLeave_date_end(CStr(rst1.getInteger("inq_id")), g_dom_id)).ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ") & vbCrLf)

        strResult.Append("SUMMARY: " & rst1.getString("inq_name") & vbCrLf)

        strResult.Append("UID: " & rst1.getInteger("inq_id") & vbCrLf)

        strResult.Append("CLASS:PUBLIC" & vbCrLf)

        strResult.Append("END:VEVENT" & vbCrLf)

    End While
    strResult.Append("END:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf)

    WriteCalendar(strResult)

I wrote a function WriteCalendar as follows

Private Sub WriteCalendar(ByVal data As String)
    Dim response As HttpResponse = Page.Response
    response.Clear()
    response.Buffer = True
    response.ContentType = "text/calendar"
    response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8
    response.Charset = "utf-8"
    response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=""" & "icalendarTest" & ".ics""")
    response.Write(data)
    response.[End]()
End Sub

I download the file and see my events but when it comes to importing to Google Calendar, it says 6 events imported successfully but I cant see them on my calendar

The output icalendarTest.ics

BEGIN:VCALENDAR  
VERSION:2.0  
METHOD:PUBLISH  
BEGIN:VEVENT

I did not include all of the tags in .ics, thats the reason of this fault.

I extracted my own calendar from Google Calendar and include the missing data, now it works. DTSTAMP seems required though I find that uncesessary, but fine as long as it works

    strResult.Append("BEGIN:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf)
    strResult.Append("PRODID:-//Google Inc//Google Calendar 70.9054//EN" & vbCrLf)
    strResult.Append("VERSION:2.0" & vbCrLf)
    strResult.Append("METHOD:PUBLISH" & vbCrLf)

    While rst1.Read
        strResult.Append("BEGIN:VEVENT" & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("DTSTART:" & rst1.getDateTime("hly_startdate").ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ") & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("DTEND:" & rst1.getDateTime("hly_enddate").ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ") & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("DTSTAMP:" & rst1.getDateTime("hly_date_created").ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ") & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("SEQUENCE:0" & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("STATUS:CONFIRMED" & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("SUMMARY:" & rst1.getString("hly_name") & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("UID:" & System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString() & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("CLASS:PUBLIC" & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("TRANSP:OPAQUE" & vbCrLf)
        strResult.Append("END:VEVENT" & vbCrLf)

    End While
    strResult.Append("END:VCALENDAR" & vbCrLf)
