Event Calendar with Web Service Possible?
Hey everyone.

I have a web service set up that returns calendar events from an external system. What I want to do is hook what is returned from the web service into the Kentico Event calendar. The problem is, there is no Event Calendar that allows me to enter a web service, nor is there one that allows me to use a Web Service Data Source.

Could anyone recommend how to go about doing this? Whether that comes down to manually calling the web service and getting the results in a custom data source web part or custom calendar web part that extends the current event calendar web part, I basically just need some direction to go in that you guys think is best.

Thanks.

Create a custom webpart. This will allow you to get your data via webservice and then bind to your desired control (event calendar)
