title: SharePoint 2010: How to display an external list as a calendar?
body: <p>In SharePoint 2010 BCS, I have created an external content type to retrieve a list of appointments from our LoB application. This works, and I can see the list of appointments in SharePoint.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, I can <em>only</em> see the appointments as a list. I want to display them in a calendar, but that doesn't seem to be an option.</p>
  
  <p>I've set the Office Item Type to Appointment, and everything I've read seems to imply that I can synchronize this list with an Outlook calendar, but I can't find any option to display the list as a calendar in SharePoint itself.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone found a way to display an external list in a calendar, or am I stuck with writing my own or buying a third-party add-on?</p>
