Hi. I need to program an aplication with Outlook. Where books I can search
to start?. Can I develop this kind of aplications with VB .NET or I must to
use another system?.

Thanks.
 
Please do not multi-post, pick one group.

Depending on where the code you want will run you use different languages:

Outlook form - you can only use VBScript code embedded in the form.

Outlook VBA code - only VBA.

COM addin or standalone application - whatever you want to use, .NET
languages or C++ or VB 6 or Delphi, or whatever.

Start looking at www.outlookcode.com for lots of code samples and links to
books on Outlook development. For a beginner I'd recommend Sue Mosher's
Jumpstart book as the best.
 
You can if you add controls to hold the data and add code to connect to the
SQL Server and download data from it and populate the controls.
 
Thanks. I must use outlook forms to do that or I can use VB .NET?. How can I
create an outlook form?. Thanks a lot.
 
Outlook forms only use VBScript code, as I mentioned. If you write a COM
addin you can use .NET but then you can't use a custom form, it would be a
System.Windows.Form. It's up to you.

As I also mentioned, go to www.outlookcode.com. There's lots of information
on custom forms, COM addins, .NET and lots of other stuff.
 
Thanks.
