RDOMail object is not working in different thread.

Hi,

I am using RDOMail object to retrieve email data and setting user

properties. RDOMail object works fine in the main thread, 'ThisAddin thread',

(I am creating VSTO Add-in) but when I use same RDOObject in the worker

thread all function calls on the RDOMail object in debugger evaluates to

error "Function evaluation disabled because a previous function evaluation

timed out. You must continue execution to reenable function evaluation.".

Any clue how can i use RDOMail object in worker thread which is different

thread than ThisAddin thread.
 
Sure. Set up the code to run with server side MAPI on a machine that never

has had Outlook installed.

What you want won't work. It will hang or crash Outlook and/or your addin

code. Think of a different method such as getting the information in the

foreground thread and then passing strings or whatever to the background

thread. Otherwise you're just causing yourself plus any other code running

on that machine nothing but headaches.

Hi Ken,

The problem here is getting the information back from the background worker

thread. My scenario is like this:

I do some processing based on the content of email and then based on the

result I update the mail object properties. As I am using a background

workder thread for processing email content, I can now pass the email content

directly to the background worker. Now as background worker thread can not

access mail object, I believe I need the processing results to be passed back

to Main thread. Is there a way to pass the result back to main thread so that

It can set properties of the emails.

There are a few ways to pass data back and forth, depending on how you want

to implement something like that.

The simplest way is a set of public or internal data that both threads have

access to.

You can also get the thread context of the main thread and store that in an

accessible place, then a call from the background thread can pass data to a

procedure and synch that using a SendOrPost() callback.

I often use that methodology for WordMail related things for Outlook 2003,

where Word is running on a different thread than the Outlook process.

All threads that use Extended MAPI must call MAPIInitialize. Outlook calls

it on its main thread, but if you create your own secondary thread, that is

your responsibility.

All creatable Redemption objects (including RDOSession) do that. Try to

create an instance of the RDOSession object on the secondary thread, sets

its MAPIOBJECT property to Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT from Outlook to

make sure the two share the same MAPI sessio, then retrieve RDOMail.

Thanks Dmitry sir,

I respect you a lot. Redemption provides a lot of functionality and we can't

complete our work without it. But we are very new for outlook add-in

development. I take a list rdomails in main thread and then process this list

on secondary thread for submission task to some server. Do you want me to

just send list of EntryIDs of mails and then create RDOMail object here in

secondary thread.

Lets say I do as I said above. How should i release RDOMails created in main

thread? (RDOMails are required in main thread as well since we set some user

property there)

Please advise.

I tried following two code segment in secondary thread but niether is

working. RDOMail evaluates to same error.

RDOSession rsession = new RDOSessionClass();

Outlook.Application app = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();

rsession.MAPIOBJECT = app.Session.MAPIOBJECT;

ArrayList rmails = new ArrayList();

foreach (string entryId in maillist)

{

RDOMail rmail = rsession.GetMessageFromID(entryId,

System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);

rmails.Add(rmail);

}

or

RDOSession rsession = new RDOSessionClass();

rsession.MAPIOBJECT = Globals.AddinMain.Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT;

foreach (string entryId in maillist)

{

RDOMail rmail = rsession.GetMessageFromID(entryId,

System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);

rmails.Add(rmail);

}

please advise.

Yes, save the entry ids, then reopen the messages on the second thread using

RDOSession.GetMessageFormID

In your second example, can you access any properties in teh code rather

than in the debugger?

string Subject = rmail.Subject;

Can you see the value of the Subject variable?

After reading some blogs on net. I am in agreement with ken not to do

anything related to mails object in other than main thread hence i have

created one Backgroundworker component in which i do long task in dowork()

event and I update RDOMails object in ProgressChanged and RunWorkerCompleted

event. Dowork eventhandler is secondary thread and code in ProgressChanged

and RunWorkerCompleted event handler executes in main thread. Now i do not

see any debugger errors. Though I am setting them in Progresschanged event

and saving email on RunWorkerCompleted event, I can not see user porperties

value in explorer view. Any clue?

Code example:

//Initialize the backgroundworker and RDOSession object. This code executes

in mainthread.

static MailSubmission()

{

backgroundWorker1 = new System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker();

InitializeBackgroundWorker();

rsession = new RDOSessionClass();

rsession.MAPIOBJECT =

Globals.AddinMain.Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT;

}

//Code executes in main thread

private static void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(

object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)

{

string entryId = (string)e.Result;

RDOMail rmail = rsession.GetMessageFromID(entryId,

System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);

rmail.Save();

}

private static void backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(object sender,

ProgressChangedEventArgs e)

{

string entryId = (string)e.UserState;

RDOMail rmail = rsession.GetMessageFromID(entryId,

System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value);

RDOUserProperty prop = rmail.UserProperties.Find(someproperty, true);

prop.value = "something";

}

//Code executes in secondary thread

private static void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender,

DoWorkEventArgs e)

{

string emailEntryId= (string)e.Argument;

// Get the BackgroundWorker that raised this event.

BackgroundWorker worker = sender as BackgroundWorker;

Thread.Sleep(1000);

worker.ReportProgress(33, userstate);

Thread.Sleep(1000);

worker.ReportProgress(66, userstate);

Thread.Sleep(1000);

e.Result = emailEntryId;

}

Are you saving the RDOMail item? Do you see the value in the Explorer if you

change folders and back again or stop and restart Outlook?

You might have to tell Outlook something has changed since it won't reflect

changes at the MAPI level otherwise. Usually we use something like this to

tell Outlook something has changed: item.Subject = item.Subject, then we

save the item.

And also why are you saving teh mesasge immediately after callign

GetMessageFromID? You need to save it after after you make changes.
