Take a look at the UserProperties.Add method.

Am I able to create a new user-defined field for all the items
including future items with UserProperties.Add? Example I want to
create a new field called ActivityID in my Calendar because EntryID has
limitations. I don't need to see ActivityID I just need to need to be
able to use it behind the scenes.

Thanks Again,
AC92
