Hello again everybody,

I have a problem with CDO, I use the Addressbook method to search in the
contacts, stored in outlook or exhange, to select someones, when they are
selecteds I want to obtain the telephone number, when the contact is stored
in outlook, no problem I know how i do, but the problem is when i select a
contact from exchange.

I am a VB.NET programmer, and my project is an Add-in for Outlook.

This is the code:

SMScontactes = New Collection

' start CDO session

m_CDO.Logon("outlook", , False, False)



' show address book

CDOrecips = CType(m_CDO.AddressBook(, "Seleccione los Destinatarios del
SMS", , , 1, "Destinatarios", , ), MAPI.Recipients)



For n = 1 To CType(CDOrecips.Count, Integer)

CDOrecip = CType(CDOrecips.Item(n), MAPI.Recipient)

strID = CType(CDOrecip.ID, String)

strID = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Right(strID, Len(strID) - 72)

strID = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Left(strID, Len(strID) - 6)

contacte = CType(apli.GetNamespace("mapi").GetItemFromID(strID),
Outlook.ContactItem)

If Not contacte Is Nothing Then

SMScontactes.Add(contacte)

txtPara.Text = txtPara.Text & contacte.FullName & "(" &
contacte.MobileTelephoneNumber & ");"

Else

MsgBox("No es un contacto de Outlook")

End If

Next

' release objects

m_CDO.Logoff()



Thanks in advance.

Hello Sue,

But if I want to use the recipient object of an email or an appointment
item, then the example don't run. Because the objects recipient from outlook
are different to the object repient of the CDO, and the property Fields
don't exists in the object recipient of outlook.

How can I resolve this ?

Thank you, for your time.

You'd need to use the appropriate MAPI property tag with the CDO
AddressEntry.FIelds collection. See http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm. I have
a Redemption sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=594 as
well, if you want to avoid security prompts.

You still have to use CDO. You can get the item's EntryID and StoreID from Outlook and then use them with the Session.GetItem method to get the corresponding item with CDO.

You should also know that CDO1.21 and Outlook officially won't work
together:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813349

Also, as the problems that arise are generally threading/memory
management mismatches, running this as an Outlook add-in is going to
make it even more complicated to work out what's going on. Quoting from
a post from an MS guy a while back:

"It's the sort of thing that'll mostly work. It'll work while you're
writing it. Then it'll work while you're testing it. It'll work while
your customer is evaluating it. Then as soon as the customer deploys it
- BAM! That's when it'll decide to start having problems. And Microsoft
ain't gonna help you with it, since we told you not to do it in the
first place. :)"

So you might get away with this, but I wouldn't want to rely on it.

Exactly. That's why I'd use Redemption instead if I were doing a .NET project.

See http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/. It comes as a redistributable version you can include with your project's setup files.
