How to change iCalendar display name in Outlook?

Question

How to change iCalendar display name in Outlook 2010? I tried using X-WR-CALNAME: myName , but this was not required. Instead, Outlook used the file name.

Here is part of the iCal file:

 BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:myProdId VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:PUBLISH X-WR-CALNAME:myName X-WR-TIMEZONE;VALUE=TEXT:US/Pacific BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20110915T060000 DTEND:20110915T060000

I tested with Outlook 2007 and it takes a calendar name from X-WR-CALNAME . It was tested several times with different file names, and the result was always the same. Regardless of the file name, the calendar name was the same as indicated in X-WR-CALNAME .

Please make sure your calendar complies with the iCalendar specification and passes validation .

When testing, note that Outlook caches calendars, and it’s hard to get Outlook to reload the calendar to make sure your changes take effect. I noticed that the easiest way is to simply rename the file and resubmit it to Outlook. If you recently added a name tag, it is possible that Outlook simply displays the cached version, not the latest one.
