converting GAL entries to contacts

Hi,

I am retrieving the GAL contcts of outlook using the following code snippet
and converting them into contacts to retrieve the email address of that
particular GAL entry.
Here I am using Outlook 2007 dll.

OutLook.

Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. Application ();



AddressEntries addressEntries = app.Session.AddressLists[ "Global Address
List" ].AddressEntries;



for ( int a = 1; a <= addressEntries.Count; a++)

{

OutLook.

ContactItem contact = ( ContactItem )addressEntries[a].GetContact();



string email = contact.Email1Address;

}

when I try to convert each address entry of Global Address List(GAL) into a
contact, it is not converting EmailAddreess value of that GAL entry ,instead
it is converting to a null value eventhough email address exists for that GAL
entry.

How to get email address property value when converting a GAL entry into a
contact?
Here I am using outlook 2007 Object Model dll.

So, anyone please help me how can I solve the above requirement through the
sample code snippet.
 
Hi,

Thanks for the Reply.
I have another doubt.

How can I filter the Global Address List contacts based on my requiremnts?
OutLook.AddressEntries class does not contain a methos like Restrict or Find.
So, How can I filter the Global Address List contacts based on my name?

How can I filter or Restrict the GAL contacts based on name or
MobileTelephoneNumber or companyName.?

I think Outlook.AddressEntries class does not contain a methods like Find()
or Restrict() to restrict the contacts based on our query.

How can I acheve the above requirement?

Most address book providers (GAL being the only semi-functioning example) do
not implement the search functionality.
You can try Redemption to do that (RDOAddressEntry.MAPITable will let you
perform restrictions), but your mileage will vary depending on the address
book provider and the compexity of the restriction.
