calendar deserialize failed because of blanks

[HolzetheKid]

Hallo,
the following calendar string fails with exception message
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: 'Expected 'END: VCALENDAR', found 'END:VCALENDAR''

--> do you see that he is expecting a blank( " ") after the ":" ? why ?

using current version:

using Ical.Net;
using Ical.Net.Serialization;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            string calendarstr ="BEGIN: VCALENDAR\r\nVERSION: 2.0\r\nPRODID: -//MailClient.VObject/7.1.30794.0\r\nMETHOD:REQUEST\r\nBEGIN:VTIMEZONE\r\nTZID:W.

            var iCal = Calendar.Load(calendarstr);
        }
    }
}

It’s probably expecting the tokens to match exactly. Your BEGIN token has a space (‘BEGIN: VCALENDAR’) but the end doesn’t match.

The right thing to do would be throw a SerializationException in the event of an invalid space like you have on the first line.

ok, so i need to verify if the string i good before parsing.

thanks for the information

Reopening because this should fail to parse the first token, so it’s a bug.
