I am writing a class in VB.NET that will send an email. When the email is
received in Outlook, that email needs to place an appointment on the Outlook
calendar. Does Microsoft have Office 2003 controls that I can download for
..NET?

The class will run under a service that will have rights to the user's
calendars therefore it should be able to just populate their calendars with
appointments. I am not exactly sure on how I would do this? Any ideas?
 
The better way to do this is to write an Outlook add-in, which will
automatically check received emails and make the appointment accordingly.
Add-in for Outlook (and other MS Office Apps) was available to develop since
MS Office 2K. Now that your target is Outlook2003 with .NET, the Visual
Studio Tool for MS Office (2003 and 2005) will make it easier, especially if
you have VSTO2005.
