How to create an ICalendar Feed that people can subscribe to

I need to create a application in vb.net that puts out those cool <<Subscribe to ical>> links, which I can prefill with our events and milestones. While I have figured out I need to use DDay.ical.dll to get the events into a .ics file, I am not clear about how to get these to publish. I was thinking of using an RSS feed, but that defeats the purpose of using icals and would require a RSS to ICal converter,which seems unnecessary.

You can host the .ics files with any web server such as IIS.

For example, if you create a web application at http://foo with virtual directory X:\Foo, and your VB.net app saves a calendar to X:\Foo\iCal\Calendar1.ics, others can consume the iCal feed at http://foo/iCal/Calendar1.ics.
