  MailAddressCollection attendees = new MailAddressCollection();

  attendees.Add(new MailAddress("bbb@bmail.com", "First attendee"));

  Appointment target = new Appointment(location, startDate, endDate, organizer, attendees);

  //Audio alarm that will sound at a precise time and

  //repeat 4 more times at 15 minute intervals:

  AppointmentReminder audioReminder = new AppointmentReminder();

  audioReminder.Trigger = new ReminderTrigger(new DateTime(1997, 3, 17, 13, 30, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc));
