Outlook PST Files
in [VB.NET]
|
From: "H. Dederichs" Howie on 24 Oct 2006 18:36 Hello NG, I would like to read and write Outlook PST-Files with my VB.NET application natively. Is there anyone who can help me with this issue? Since PST-Files are "also" Databases, aren't they? Maybe there ist a way to do this with an Active Sync API if existing? Hints with sample are highly appreciated. B.T.W. Is there an option to prevent the dialog which say that there is an application trying to send mails with outlook? I know that the .NET Frameworks contains a class which is able to send SMTP-Mails, but there not appearing within Outlook. Thanks H. Dederichs

Here's an example of a .NET wrapper for a MAPI class originally written in C: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/VBMAPIEx.asp Here's another one with source code that might be helpful: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/simplemapidotnet.asp "H.

From: Walter Wang [MSFT] on 25 Oct 2006 05:57 Hi, So far the outlook PST file format are only understood by Outlook. Therefore you'll have to use Outlook Automation to access it. In VB.NET, you can use COM interop to access Outlook Object Model: Dim oApp As Application = New ApplicationClass Dim oStore As MAPIFolder = Nothing Dim oNS As NameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI") oNS.Logon("", "", True, True) oApp.Session.AddStore("f:\data\temp.pst") Dim oneStore As MAPIFolder For Each oneStore In oNS.Folders If (oneStore.Name.ToString Is "Personal Folders") Then oStore = oneStore Exit For End If Next As for the security dialog, you can refer to following KB on how to configure it: #Administrator information about e-mail security features http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290499 However, you will need to work in Exchange Server environment to apply this method. Regarding .NET Framework 2.0 SMTP class, it's not using MAPI, so its sent mail will not shown in outlook. Sincerely, Walter Wang (wawang(a)online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')

Hallo Mike, thank you for your hint. It was a good starting point. I also found Outlook Redemption today which is also good for, esoecially since it covers nearly the complet MAPI function.
