Hi,

I have created an Outlook 2003 addin using VSTO 2005 SE.

I need to get shared calendar's owner info. Suppose I have opened a

shared calendar of UserA in Outlook. Now I create a calendar item into

the shared calendar manually. I need to run a logic based on UserA's

display name/email address.

How do we get UserA details programmatically?

Thanks,

Aditya
 
Where would this shared calendar folder be located, in another Exchange

mailbox or a PST file or what?

There really isn't any information that's readily available in cases like

this, the Exchange properties for store owner and mailbox name won't be

there unless the folder is opened as part of a mailbox opened as part of the

Outlook profile.

A hack would get the StoreID of the shared folder and massage that hex

string into an array of ASCII bytes. Part of that array would have the

Exchange distinguished name of the folder owner that can be decoded from the

array. From there you'd need to translate the Exchange DN into a recipient.

You can see the effect by looking at the StoreID property using a MAPI

viewer such as MFCMAPI from MS or OutlookSpy (www.dimastr.com) and see what

that looks like.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think you can share a calendar on PST. In my case, shared

calendar is located in Mailbox of UserA.

I got the hack working but I was just wondering there must be a

simpler way to get the information like on whose calendar I am

creating the meeting. My scenario would be:

1. Open Outlook.

2. Open shared calendar of UserA (Suppose you have create and edit

permission on UserA's calendar).

3. Create a new meeting or modify an existing meeting.

4. Save the meeting.

At step 4, I need to find out that it is UserA's calendar and take

appropriate action. Is there a way to get this information using OOM

or MAPI?

Thanks,

Aditya
 
In that case you can use the Organizer property on the item after it's

saved.
