Hi,

I am creating an Add-in for Outlook in Vb.net . I need to read the

meetings between a given duration from a shared calendar. I am able to

read the non recursive meetings but when i try to read the recursive

meetings it always gives an item count of "2147483647".

I want the total count of meetings ( recursive + non recursive)

between the given time which should count only that instance of the

recursive meeting .

Here is the code sample which i am using:

Dim oApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application

Dim oappt As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem

Dim oNs As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace

Dim oCalendar As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim instance As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items

Dim oItems As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items

Dim recipient As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Recipient

Dim oTask As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.TaskItem

Dim sSearch As String

Dim name1 As String

Dim date1 As String

oNs = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi")

oNs.Logon()

name1 = TextBox1.Text

date1 = DateTimePicker1.Text

recipient = oNs.CreateRecipient(name1)

oCalendar = oNs.GetSharedDefaultFolder(recipient,

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar)

oItems = oCalendar.Items

oItems.IncludeRecurrences = True

oItems.Sort("[Start]")

sSearch = "[START] >= '" & Format(date1) & " " & j & " ' and [START]

<= '" & Format(date1) & " " & k & " ' or [START] <'" &

Format(date1) & " " & j & " ' and [END] > '" & Format(date1) & " " &

j & " ' "

oItems = oItems.Restrict(sSearch)

If oItems.Count > 0 Then

TextBox3.Text = "Busy"

Else

TextBox3.Text = "Free"

End If

Can anyone please suggest me how to proceed.

Thank you
 
That's a normal, known side effect of using IncludeRecurrences. The solution

is not to use Count. Instead, you can use a For Each ... Next loop to

process the items.
