Hi

I write outlook item using the simple MAPI api .

Following is the code example.

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

Dim MyFileName As String

Dim OlType As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType

Dim TypeSuffix As String

Dim olitem as object

OlType = GetCorrespondingOlItemType(CalType)

TypeSuffix = GetCorrespondingSuffix(CalType)

MyFolder = IIf(OlType =

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem, mobjTaskMAPIFld,

IIf(OlType = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olAppointmentItem,

mobjApptMAPIFld, mobjContactMAPIFld))

On Error GoTo OpenAsDefault

Err.Clear()

olitem= MyFolder.Items.Add(OlType)

olitem.save

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject(olitem)

if a write many items in bulk, the oulook behaves inconsistently,

Even if i create a new contact manually and update it, lastmodification time

property will not get updated.

Though this issue is not consistenly reporducible, can some help me finding

any reason why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance.

Just a tip, with those nested IIF's that code will be a real mess to debug.

I'd unwrap it into a set of if blocks to make debugging easier. BTW, that is

Outlook object model code, not Simple MAPI API calls.

Define "many items in bulk" (how many, show the code to create them), define

"behaves inconsistently".

Always mention the Outlook and Window versions, and store type (PST files,

Exchange, etc.).

Do you get any exceptions? Set up try...catch blocks to trap any errors.

Don't use multiple dot operators, especially in loops. Declare your object

variables outside the loop avoid implicitly created objects that cannot be

released. For example:

Dim colItems As Outlook.Items = MyFolder.Items

olitem = colItems.Add(olType)

That way the Items collection can explicitly be released. That's especially

important in loops and hugely so with Exchange, where there's an RPC channel

limit. Exceeding that limit will cause exceptions, and implicitly created

objects all use up RPC channels and can't be released.

Hi ken,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

To my surprise now, i found out that write works fine.

We were looking for bug in wrong place, as after using MFCMapi tool, i found

out that PR_lastmodification_time is updated.

But while reading it do not read the updated time but the cached time.

I am using the standard code to read LastModification time, suggested by

microsoft in help document.

Following is the code sample.

,,Private mobjOutlook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application

'outlook application

,,Private mobjOlNs As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace '

current namespace to work with

,,Private mobjApptMAPIFld As

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder ' current folder to work

with calendar

,,,, mobjOlNs = mobjOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

,,,, mobjApptMAPIFld = mobjOlNs.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Intero

p.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar)

,,,, mobjApptMAPIFld.Item.LastModificationTime// give the appointment

Even if i logoff and logon session through code and use getitembyid property

to retrived the idem detail, it gives me same unmodified date.

Is there any api, though undocumented, which can be used to get the uncached

last modification time ?

You didn't answer my questions. What do you mean by "Outlook becomes

unresponsive"?

Even in Exchange cached mode you should be able to get the correct

LastModificationTime value. Did you save the item when you made any changes

to it before trying to read the changed LastModificationTime value?

I would change that code you're using because it's still using multiple dot

operators. I'd assign a specific Outlook item to mobjApptMAPIFld.Item and

then read LastModificationTime from that. I'd also set that object variable

to Nothing each pass through the loop.

Hi Ken,

Good point, when i said outlook is non responsive, i mean this issue itself,

there is no other syntoms to see outlook is not working properly. Rest

everything is outlook is going fine.

Ofcouse, i save outlook item and then check the last modification date.

I tried using tool like outlook spy tool, and something macro also. Also i

created a sample program as follows.

If InitOutlook() = True Then

objMapiFolder = objNamespace.PickFolder

objNamespace.Logoff()

'objNamespace.objNamespace.Logoff()

' objNamespace.Logon()

' objMapiFolder =

objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar)

If Not objMapiFolder Is Nothing Then

oItems = objMapiFolder.Items

For Each ocontact In oItems

TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text +

Environment.NewLine + " Subject : " + ocontact.Subject

TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text + Environment.NewLine

+ " Last Modified time : " + ocontact.LastModificationTime

Next

End If

Still it gives the incorrect logs.

I don't understand.

That sample code you show does nothing that would modify the items,

therefore LastModificationTime is not going to change on any of the items.

Also why are you using NameSpace.Logoff? There's no reason for that at all.

This test VBA code shows what I mean. I selected a contact item and ran the

macro. The modified times shown are 3/23/2009 at 8:50 AM before the subject

is changed and 5/28/2009 at 1:39 PM afterwards.

Sub ModifyItem()

Dim oc As Outlook.ContactItem

Set oc = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)

Debug.Print oc.LastModificationTime

oc.Subject = oc.Subject & " Test"

oc.Save

Debug.Print oc.LastModificationTime

End Sub

This code was run in an Outlook setup that uses cached mode, therefore

demonstrating that cached mode has nothing to do with anything here.

Hi ken,

Write code should be fine, as even i create the outlook item manually, the

last modification time is not update. I mean use File -> New->contact way to

creating contact.

While reading, namespace logoff/logon i tried so that session get refresh,

that was not the part of original code though.

Also if i close outlook and reopen i get the udpate last modification time

with the same read code.

It also look strange to me too and stranger is it happens only if outlook is

running for a long time, or as i mentioned a bulk write has been performed.

" lastmodification time property will not get updated." - what exactly do

you mean by that?

If you are creating a brand new item, surely you would get some value in the

lastmodification time propety. What is it?

Hi Dimitry,

We are talking about update scenario here.

Hi Dimitri,

I didn't notices, am i taking to Dimitry , the father of redemption dll.I am

honoured :)

By the way, i have raised this issue as bug to microsoft also.

I don't know. I can't reproduce what you say here at all. If I modify an

item in code it shows a changed date for LastModifiedTime.

So you see the chnage that your code makes but the last modified time stays

the same?

Doyou have a sampel script that exhibits this porblem?

Hi Dimitry ,

Steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Just manually create any appointment, contact or task.

2. Update that outlook entitty..

3. Run the following macro in outlook, you will see the last modification

time.

To read last modification time, you can use following vb macro

Sub TestAppointment()

Dim objMapiFolder As Folder

Dim i As Integer

Dim cnt As Integer

Dim oItems As Items

Dim oDate As Date

Dim oappt As AppointmentItem

Set objMapiFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)

objMapiFolder.Items.Sort ("[Start]")

objMapiFolder.Items.IncludeRecurrences = True

Set oItems = objMapiFolder.Items

For i = 1 To oItems.Count

Set oappt = oItems.Item(i)

If (oappt.Subject = "testlmdate") Then

Debug.Print " Last Modified time : " +

CStr(oappt.LastModificationTime)

Debug.Print

"========================================================="

End If

Next

End Sub

4. Again change the outlook item and repeat the same process.

You will see that last modification time is same some times.

This issue is not consistently reporducible but its common with contact.

Thanks for your help.

I just thought that you might be reading last modification time from a

recurrence after modifying the master appointment.

If you switch the calendar folder to the "By Category" view, add laast

modified tiem to the view, and modify an appointment, do you see the change

immediately in the folder view?

Hi Dimitry,

sorry for such a delayed response but there was lots going on in this end.

To answer your question, I do not see the change in date even if i update

the Outlook item.

I reported this issue to Microsoft, and they have come up blaming an

add-in.How can possibliy an add-in impact the new Outlook item created and

block its last modification time from update ?

It can't. But if you have a reproducible scenario, I'd encourage you to open

a support case with MS.

They will waive the fee if the cause will turn out to be a bug in Outlook.

Hi Dimitry,

There is already a ticket created, but microsoft feels that it is only

because of add-in as they say that it is not reproducible in a clean machine

in there test environment.

Also today i am able to reproduce a scenario in which the modiifed time

apprear update in outlook item while the same is not being reflected when we

use the simple read macro

Sub TestContact()

Dim ocnt As ContactItem

Set ocnt =

Session.GetFolderFromID("00000000FA5D5A5CC0767341AE4B04252BC4FC9E01006D56A02FB0E2AB4780517B5306F7DE5000016DDA00340000").Items("Kapil Goel")

Debug.Print " Last Modified time : " +

CStr(ocnt.LastModificationTime)

Debug.Print " Last Modified Body : " + CStr(ocnt.Body)

Debug.Print "========================================================="

End Sub

Also , if possible can i give you call sometime, though our time lines are

different but i can call you at 9.30 EST.
