get End Time()

Gets the date and time at which this calendar event ends. You must have access to the calendar. For non–all-day events, this is the instant in time at which the event was defined to end. For all-day events, which only store an end date (not a date and time), this is midnight at the beginning of the day after the event ends in the calendar's time zone . This allows meaningful comparison of end times for all types of events; however, it does not necessarily preserve the original day-of-year unmodified.

For all-day events , get All Day End Date() should almost always be called in preference to this method.
