Using 2.2.14

[rianjs]

Do you have an example of the code that caused the exception to be thrown?

Commentary for my future self: I find it weird that asking questions about occurrences is allowed at the CalendarCollection level. This "capability" may be something to look at for v3. Questions about occurrences should be VEVENT, VALARM, VTODO, etc based. (I.e. anything that supports RRULEs. That said, the collection mutation during occurrence evaluation is concerning.

[ostruk]

var client = new HttpClient();
var responseStream = await client.GetStreamAsync(url);
calendar = Calendar.LoadFromStream(responseStream) as CalendarCollection;
var date = new DateTime(2016, 10, 11);
var occurrences = calendar.GetOccurrences(date);

doing

var occurrences = calendar[0].GetOccurrences(date);

throws same.

It also happens if using GetOccurances(startDate,endDate) and range includes offending date.
Thanks!

[ghentsch]

Was there a resolution or a workaround for this problem?

[ostruk]

If you do a .toList() on the internal selector, it doesn't crash anymore:

occurrences.ExceptWith( occurrences.Where(o => o.Source is IUniqueComponent) .Where(o => o.Source.RecurrenceId != null) .Where(o => o.Source.RecurrenceId.Equals(o.Period.StartTime)).ToList());

But I don't think code itself makes sense.. it removes overridden recurrences if their time didn't change. But what if the description/title etc. changed? I'll create a separate issue for this.

I have a similar issue in 2.2.18 where it throws the same exception.

         var collection = Calendar.LoadFromStream(new StringReader(ical));
         var startCheck = new DateTime(2016, 11, 11);
         var occurrences = collection.GetOccurrences<Event>(startCheck, startCheck.AddMonths(1));

         Assert.IsTrue(occurrences.Count == 4);

@ghentsch and @ostruk - I just committed the workaround and published 2.2.25 which incorporates it. I added unit tests, too.
