How to use ri_cal

[Abhi]

I am new bee in ruby as well as in ri_cal.

I want to use ri_cal for creating appointment and cancel appointment
at run time. Then attach in a mail and send.
The code which i am using is


def get_cal email_address, appt_date, start_time, end_time
return RiCal.Calendar do |cal|
cal.event do |event|
event.description = "MA-6 First US Manned
Spaceflight"
event.dtstart =
DateTime.parse(appt_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y").to_str + " " +
start_time.strftime('%H:%M').to_str)#"2/20/1962 14:47:39")
event.dtend =
DateTime.parse(appt_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y").to_str + " " +
end_time.strftime('%H:%M').to_str)
event.add_attendee email_address
event.alarm do
description "Segment 51"
end
end
end
end

and in mailer utility, i am using it like

appt_ics = get_cal appointment.calendar.staff.email_address,
appointment.appt_date, appointment.start_time , appointment.end_time
attachment :content_type => "text/plain",
:filename => "appointment.ics",
:body => appt_ics

It gives an error

can't convert RiCal::Component::Calendar into String

Please suggest.
