I'm currently developing an application which needs to be syn'cd to a
web server, either through an exchange or outlook. But I extended the
fields of the pocket outlook so as to cater my application's needs, in
doing so, i created my own database and tagged the itemids of the items
that i need from pocket outlook. I was thinking that i will just sync
the database fields and re create the outlook items in the server, but
the problem is that there are fields that doesn't allow me to assign
values, just for example in the Appoinment Object, I can assign some
properties to a new object, but I cannot assign properties like
IsRecurring or any reccurence related property...

Is there a way to recreate the outlook objects to a different system.
or any way of syncing it through an http port??

Thanks!
 
The Appointment's RecurrencePattern property allows you to get/set
recurrence properties, the IsRecurring property will then return true when
the pattern is set. Another issue to be aware of when synchronizing custom
data is that the ItemId (returns the POOM Oid) is not synchronised with the
desktop which has a separate system of unique identifiers. You therefore may
need to match on other fields such as starttime and subject. Alternatively
write your data as a custom blob or xml snippet into the notes field of the
appointment then you can read it directly from either side using OOM or
POOM.
