I am looking for a hard core book on VBA, VB or VB.Net book on programming
CDO and Outlook. I don't need an introduction on control flow, what an
object is, or how an event works. What I need is more of reference of what
CDO works with some examples. I am also interested in a book that describes
some of the complexities of working with Outlook (security and how to work
with it).

Thank you,

Ken
 
Look at Randy Byrne's Building Applications with Outlook 2002 book and
Tom Rizzo's Programming Outlook and Exchange book, both from MS Press.
That's about all that's still in print at this point.

If you can get hold of a copy, maybe used from Amazon, Professional
CDO Programming by Sig Weber, Dan Mitchell and Donald Xie from Wrox
Press has a lot of CDO and some Extended MAPI information.

Other than that look at the books listed at
http://www.slipstick.com/books/dev.htm
 
Rizzo's 3rd Ed. is the only one with .Net info, BTW.

Yes, but who but the truly insane would actually develop a COM addin
for Outlook (especially if it was for multiple Outlook versions) and
use a DotNet language?
 
1) Microsoft (BCM, but it only has to support one version)
2) Newsgator (apparently based on OL 2000)

I'm starting to see a few others. Paul Reynolds has written an intriguing
article on how to support multiple OL versions in a dotnet addin and get
dynamic event handling. It's on my list of things to study once I get
through my current commitment list.

Thank for the suggestions. I read the article about supporting multiple
versions. It sounded interesting.
