try
   {
            appt.Subject = "Team Meeting";
            appt.Location = "Jupiter Room";
            appt.Sensitivity = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlSensitivity.olPrivate;
            appt.Start = DateTime.Parse("01/04/2016 02:00 PM");
            appt.End = DateTime.Parse("01/04/2016 02:30 PM");
            appt.ReminderSet = true;
            appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 10;
            appt.Save();
     }
            catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            }

            finally
            {
