The TimeBlockList property contains all the time blocks stored in the control. Each field in the list represents a single time block. This property is a replacement to the EntityTimeBlocks property, which wasn't flexible enough for some needs. This property creates time blocks that have the same flexibility as appointments.

A time block is associated to an existing entity by that entity's ID. Therefore, you must call EntityList prior to calling TimeBlockList. The next value is the time blocks's ID.
