Creating Appointments with Attachments in Outlook Live (Live@Edu) using EWS

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:47:07 Z

Hi everyone,

I am a simple function that will create an appointment in Outlook Live (Live@Edu).
I have used the EWS Managed API 1.0 and I was able to create the appointment. Now I want to add an attachment to it.

Here is the code I used to add an attachment:

FileAttachment attachment = exAppointment.Attachments.AddFileAttachment(itemattachment.name,
    itemattachment.contentByte);

The Save() fucntionality of Appointment saved the appointment but not the attachment and the exception message says:

The request failed schema validation: The element 'FileAttachment' in namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types' has invalid child element 'IsInline' in namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types'. List of possible elements expected: 'ContentType,
ContentId, ContentLocation, Content' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types'.

Hoping to resolve this, I assigned values to ContentType, ContentId, ContentLocation but not Content because it is readonly.

FileAttachment attachment = exAppointment.Attachments.AddFileAttachment(itemattachment.name,
itemattachment.contentByte);
attachment.IsInline = false;
attachment.ContentType = itemattachment.name.Substring(itemattachment.name.LastIndexOf('.'),
    itemattachment.name.Length - (itemattachment.name.LastIndexOf('.') + 1));
attachment.ContentLocation = itemattachment.path;
attachment.ContentId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
attachment.Name = itemattachment.name;

I Still got the same error but this time it is saying that it is because of the Content only which I cannot assign value and I believe the its value has been assigned during the call of the function :

FileAttachment attachment = exAppointment.Attachments.AddFileAttachment(itemattachment.name,
    itemattachment.contentByte);

I check out the property of Content and it says there that "Content is set only when the FileAttachment.Load() method is called"

So I tried using the Load() by:

attachment.Load(itemattachment.path);

Then a new error occured and it says "The request failed schema validation: The required attribute 'Id' is missing".

I did follow the MSDN sample for EWS Managed API 1.0 for creating attachments but it did not work. Now I'm already stuck with this.

How can I resolve this?
Thanks for the help.

How do I access the email body in code?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:37:47 Z

Hi

I am trying to access an exchange mailbox and read the contents of an email. I'm currently using this code to retrieve the mail message ID and subject, but the FindTitems comment doesn't support returning the message body.

How do I access the message body?

Custom transport agent generates error Exchange 2007

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:02:37 Z

Hello!

I have to write custom transport agent in C# for Exchange 2007 that counts all recipents in all distribution groups, that is sender sending mail (also recursive - counts recipients in a group that is in a group). Exchange 2007 by default takes on group as on recipient, but i have to make transport agent that counts all recipients in a group (Exchange 2003 did that).

I know that microsoft has his best practices, but my company that i am writing this agent doesn't care about it and they want this agent.

The problem is that i am not very good in programming but i manage to get this agent working as expeced, but agent causes this error after seven days of working just fine:

Remove Digital signature/Encryption from outlook 2003 mails

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:19:43 Z

We are using digital signature and encryption ( certificate) method in our organisation.

There is a senario where user wants to decrypt the mails and save to teamsite( sharepoint) so that other users can open the mails.Is it possible to decrypt a mail using a program or addin button from outlook before saving to sharepoint?

( right now user can save mails to sharepoint in encrypted format , but only the particular user can view the mail.)

VB.net or C# - Query Exchange 2010 informations

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:51:12 Z

Hello

The code (VB 2008) below is working when it's executed local on the exchange 2010 server

Dim rsConfig As RunspaceConfiguration = RunspaceConfiguration.Create()
Dim snapInException As PSSnapInException = Nothing
Dim info As PSSnapInInfo = rsConfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010", snapInException)

Dim myRunSpace As Runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rsConfig)
Dim pipeLine As Pipeline = myRunSpace.CreatePipeline()
Dim ri As New RunspaceInvoke(myRunSpace)´

myRunSpace.Open()

Dim commandResults As Collection(Of PSObject)
commandResults = ri.Invoke("Get-Recipient -ResultSize unlimited")

When i try to execute the same code from a Windows 7 x64 + ESM 2010, it give me a unhandled exception with the error code below.
"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security"

I have read the link below, but im having a hard time to fit that sample code into my code logic.
http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/11/02/453016.aspx

Is there anyone who is having a "remote execution sample" without hardcoded username and password, for the exchange 2010 platform.

Get calendar event based on UID

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:12:23 Z

How do you get an event based on UID? I imagine you would use a restriction filter, and I've fumbled about some trying to do this, but I've yet to find a way. Can someone please help?

Push Notification Web Service on SSL?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:05:29 Z

If the Push Notification Client Web Serice is configured with SSL certificate, how does Exchange Server handles SSL certificates?

Are there any limitations for this requirement?

When I tried with an SSL certificate which is applied on my Push Notification Client, I could not get any notification from Exchange Server for my Web Service. But it works perfectly fine when I remove the certificate.

Thanks,

Ash

EWS Push Notification question

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:57:02 Z

I have several questions about Push Notification.

1. If I need to keep track of 1000 users' inbox, do I need to create 1000 bindings? What's the Exchange Server's limit in bindings?

2. The Push Notification's "StatusFrequency" is an integer, does that mean the fastest notification I get is every minute?

3. After an event is received, what do we send back to the Exchange Server?

4. When we tear down the application, do we need to unsubscribe like the Pull Notification?

5. In the sample code below, we know what the ItemId is, and we probably need to call GetItem to find out what the item is. But How do we know if the item is created, deleted, or new?

    // Access event information for create, delete, or new mail events.
    public static void AccessCreateDeleteNewMailEvent(BaseObjectChangedEventType bocet)
    {
        // Get the watermark for the event.
        string watermark = bocet.Watermark;

        // Get the timestamp for the event.
        DateTime timestamp = bocet.TimeStamp;

        // Get the parent folder identifier.
        FolderIdType parentFolderId = bocet.ParentFolderId;

        // Get either the folder or item identifier for a
        // create/delete/new mail event.
        if (bocet.Item is ItemIdType)
        {
            // Get the item identifier.
            ItemIdType itemId = bocet.Item as ItemIdType;
        }
        else
        {
            // Get the folder identifier.
            FolderIdType folderId = bocet.Item as FolderIdType;
        }
    }

Thanks in advance,

Create contact without email address EWS Managed API 1.0

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:15:57 Z

Hello all,

When I try to create contact without email address, I get this error:

The request failed schema validation: The element 'EmailAddresses' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'Entry' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types'.

Having an empty string as the address causes the 'ErrorCorruptData' error to be thrown. Also updates fails and cause an error with the following message:

An object within a change description must contain one and only one property to modify

How does one create contacts with no email addresses?
The target server is Exchange Server 2007 SP2
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Need help with creating an Exchange 2007 Powershell script to help lower level account creation admins

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:37:17 Z

Hi All,

I would like to thank anyone who reads and contributes to this post.

I'm looking for a way to use Exchange 2007 Powershell scripting to give admins in our other offices the ability to add new users with mailboxes, without giving them access to our centralized Exchange 2007 servers.

Here's a rough layout of how I think it should work:

Domain.local

> New User and Mailbox

>New York

>Los Angeles

>Chicago

> User Accounts

>New York

>Los Angeles

>Chicago

1. Create an OU in AD called "New User and Mailbox"

2. Create sub OUs for each office

3. Give admins in each office, rights to create user accounts in their respective office's OU

4. Create a script that will monitor these OUs on a schedule

The script will have to do the following as well:

5. If a user account is created in one of these office OUs, check the three Exchange servers to see which of them has the smallest database

6. Once the server with the database is found, create the mailbox in that database

7. After the mailbox is attached to the new user account, the script will then move the user object into the correct OU - for example User Accounts > New York, so that the correct GPOs can apply to the new user.

I'm not good a Powershell scripting myself, but I know this can be done. Please steer me in the right direction - I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers.

Create a Calendar Item with delegate access using Powershell

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:21:44 Z

Hello,

I am currently writing a Powershell script to synchronize every 10 minutes a calendar from a mysql database, and the outlook calendars of my colleagues. For this, I'm running my script with an account that has every rights on every mailboxes. It uses a soap request of this form :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
               xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
  <soap:Body>
    <CreateItem xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
                xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" 
                SendMeetingInvitations="SendToAllAndSaveCopy" >
      <SavedItemFolderId>
        <t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="calendar"/>
      </SavedItemFolderId>
      <Items>
        <t:CalendarItem xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
          <Subject>Planning Meeting</Subject>
          <Body BodyType="Text">Plan the agenda for next week's meeting.</Body>
          <ReminderIsSet>true</ReminderIsSet>
          <ReminderMinutesBeforeStart>60</ReminderMinutesBeforeStart>
          <Start>2006-11-02T14:00:00</Start>
          <End>2006-11-02T15:00:00</End>
          <IsAllDayEvent>false</IsAllDayEvent>
          <LegacyFreeBusyStatus>Busy</LegacyFreeBusyStatus>
          <Location>Conference Room 721</Location>
        </t:CalendarItem>
      </Items>
    </CreateItem>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The problem is : how do I change the organizer of the meeting to the one of my colleagues which has this meeting, so that he doesn't receive a useless mail from my superuser account every time? Is there any way to do this via powershell scripting?

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdevelopment/thread/3183b77b-b190-4e42-8d12-2f1e47317369

After reading this post, I tried to apply these methods to my soap request, but it seems that the SavedItemFolderId is also read-only...

So here is my question : is there any chance I can do this task using exclusively PowerShell? (and not VB, for example)

Thank you for reading,

Kenny

How to retrieve the follow-up flag property of a Message

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:25:44 Z

Hello,

Does anyone know whether there is a way (and if so, how) to retrieve the Follow-up flag property for an e-mail message using Exchange Web Services?

This flag can be set in MS Outlook (at least, in my version, 2007), I'm not sure whether it is stored in Exchange.
(however, from a small test with a shared mailbox it does seem like it is stored centrally, since changes to the follow-up flags are visible to other Outlook users)

I've searched google, this forum, and the exchange documentation, but I didn't manage to find anything.

CDO message with custom property

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:52:00 Z

I have some code that sends emails using CDO from a Microsoft Access front-end application running on Windows XP Pro.
What I am trying to do is add a custom property so that I can trace the
email in an exchange event sink AND from the Outlook model.
If I add the userproperty in Outlook, then it's visible in CDO, but this
email will be created in CDO so I don't know how, or even if, it can be done.
Based on my code below, if I wanted a property called "InternalRef", what
would I need to do?

thanks

Set ObjMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set ObjMail.Configuration=GetSMTPServerConfig()

Set objFieldsColl = ObjMail.Fields
Set Prop1 = objFieldsColl.Add( _
Name:="InternalRef", _
Class:=vbString, _
Value:=InternalRef)

The last line throws up an error:
"Object doesn't support this property or method"

This is only with the Add method of the fields collection.
The count and item property work, so the collection variable works.

Although Outlook is installed on the machine, I'm bypassing it and using CDO
directly.
Have they blocked the Add method for security?
I need this code to run on all XP workstations that are part of our SBS2003 domain.

Thanks

Journalling

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:31:14 Z

I now have a small application that allows my call centre users to see the status of various appointments in the online calendar and to mark them as booked or free. My boss is happy ish! This morning though he asked me if any options exist to journal when appointments are create/updated or deleted in Exchange Online. The client will handle if a user try's to update the status of an appointment if it has been modified or deleted, but we would like a central journalling method.

Can anyone advise me if this is possible? and If so point me in the right direction?

Thanks

EWS: Get immediate change notification

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:32:32 Z

We're developing a reservation system that needs to be sync with the users meeting requests in outlook.

Now I'm trying to set up a push notification. I'd like to get notified immediately if certain events have occurred OR after 30min if none has. But my tests show that I only get notified after 30min (the frequency I can configure) which means that it can take up to 30min until our system will react to a change on the exchange server. Setting a very low frequency is not an option as we plan to observe about 50'000 folders. I'm getting the impression that push notifications do not exactly provide what we are looking for... I don't care whether the notification is sync or async but I need it to be immediately - is there a way to achieve this with push notifications?

We have solved this problem already on exchange2003 using eventsinks but were planning to get rid of those and use push notifications instead. Are eventsinks the better option? And what is the difference to an storesink? Are there other means to this goal?

EWS service gives 403 Forbidden

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:38:49 Z

Hi,

We are trying to use the Exchange Web Services with an XML post to
https://servernname/EWS/exchange.asmx. In the example below we try to get the
unread items of a user's inbox.
This xml post worked until we upgraded from Exchange SP2 RU8 to Exchange SP2
RU9 on the CAS servers. We always get the code 403 Forbidden. A HTTP GET to
https://servernname/EWS/exchange.asmx gives the Services.wsdl file (code 200)

On a new installed CAS server in the same environment, we also did the
upgrade from RU8 to RU9. After this upgrade the xml post its keeps on working.

Here is the xml post:

$cdUsrCredentials = new-object
System.Net.NetworkCredential("username","password","DOMAIN")
$smSoapMessage = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>" `
+ "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=`"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/`" " `
+ " xmlns:xsi=`"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance`"
xmlns:xsd=`"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema`"" `
+ " xmlns:t=`"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types`" >" `
+ "<soap:Header> " `
+ "</soap:Header> " `
+ "<soap:Body>" `
+ "<GetFolder
xmlns=`"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages`" " `
+ " xmlns:t=`"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types`"> " `
+ "<FolderShape> " `
+ "<t:BaseShape>Default</t:BaseShape> " `
+ "</FolderShape> " `
+ "<FolderIds> " `
+ "<t:DistinguishedFolderId Id=`"inbox`"/> " `
+ "</FolderIds> " `
+ "</GetFolder> " `
+ "</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>"

$servername = "outlookanywhere.domain.com"
$strRootURI = "https://" + $servername + "/ews/Exchange.asmx"
$WDRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($strRootURI)
$WDRequest.ContentType = "text/xml"
$WDRequest.Headers.Add("Translate", "F")
$WDRequest.Method = "Post"
$WDRequest.Credentials = $cdUsrCredentials
$bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($smSoapMessage)
$WDRequest.ContentLength = $bytes.Length
$RequestStream = $WDRequest.GetRequestStream()
$RequestStream.Write($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)
$RequestStream.Close()
$WDResponse = $WDRequest.GetResponse()
$ResponseStream = $WDResponse.GetResponseStream()
$ResponseXmlDoc = new-object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$ResponseXmlDoc.Load($ResponseStream)
$UreadNameNodes = @($ResponseXmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("t:UnreadCount"))
"Number of Unread Email : " + $UreadNameNodes[0].'#text'

How can we debug this EWS error? We have to get it working again without a
reinstall of all the 4 CAS servers

A reinstall of the EWS virtual directory did not work.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Johan

Querying Exchange Server 2003 from SQL Server 2005?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:04:37 Z

We have a business partner that is emailing data to us, and I need to extract the data from the body of the messages. I've developed regular expressions to do this, but I still need to programmatically access the messages themselves. Here are the details:

Exchange server: mail01.example.com
SQL Server: sql01.example.com
Exchange mail account: testresults@example.com

I have successfully created a linked server to Exchange in SQL Server Management Studio, as follows:

Name: EXCHANGE
Product: Exchange OLE DB provider
Provider: Search.Collator.DSO
Data_Source: ExOLEDB.DataSource
Location: mail01.example.com
Provider_String: Provider=ExOLEDB;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
Catalog: NULL

I have tried running a test query against the linked Exchange server, just trying to retrieve the addresses of mail senders, as follows:

SELECT Convert(nvarchar(50), "urn:schemas:httpmail:from") Sender

FROM OpenQuery(Exchange, 'SELECT "urn:schemas:httpmail:from" FROM ".\testresults\inbox"')

From that query, I get the following error message:

OLE DB provider "Search.CollatorDSO" FOR linked server "Exchange" returned message "Column does not exist.".

Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT "urn:schemas:httpmail:FROM"

FROM ".\testresults\inbox"" FOR execution against OLE DB provider "Search.CollatorDSO" FOR linked server "Exchange".

I get the feeling that I have not correctly defined the path to the user account and Inbox, but it really could be ANYTHING at this point. (BTW, I apologize for already having cross-posted in the SQL Server forum.) Can anyone provide some guidance? TIA for your help! :-)

EWS Managed API: wrong Id format

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:55:56 Z

The XML response indicates that the server is an Exchange 2007 SP1 server, but the XML request specifies Exchange2010 as the RequestServerVersion in the SOAP header -- you cannot send a 2010 request to a 2007 SP1 server (hence the error you are receiving). Since the server is an Exchange 2007 SP1 server, you must specify Exchange2007_SP1 as the RequestServerVersion value when you instantiate the ExchangeService.

Dim service As ExchangeService = New ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1)

Can't set msExchMailboxGuid via LDAP

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:44:53 Z

Hi,

I am creating new active directory user account in Java and LDAP. I want to mail enable it for Exchange 2007. I am able set all needed attributes in my code except one: msExchMailboxGuid.
When I try to set msExchMailboxGuid attribute this way:

attrs.put("msExchMailboxGuid","55ee6c37-b44b-47b1-a733-6d3c1b615b90");

I get this error:

Problem creating object: javax.naming.directory.InvalidAttributeValueException: [LDAP: error code 19 - 00002082: AtrErr: DSID-03151145, #1:

The guid was generated online at http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen.

Do you have any idea what is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

The VoiceMail folder in EWS

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 13:18:26 Z

You may have noticed that DistinguishedFolderIdNamesType offers a "voicemail" enumeration value. There are several things to keep in mind about this folder:

What folder does is relate to?

The voicemail distinguished folder relates to the VoiceMail *search folder* that exists under the Search Folders node in Outlook. In fact, if you want to see the voicemail folder directly, call FindFolder against DistinguishedFolderIdNamesType.searchfolders. If the voice mail folder exists, it will appear as a child.

When is it created?

The voicemail search folder is created first when a given mailbox user is UM-enabled. It is not when the first voice mail arrives (I think I mispoke in the EWS book regarding this). If for some reason, the voicemail search folder is deleted, the ONLY time it is recreated is when you dial into the UM phone system and try to listen to your voice messages. This will work even if there are no voice messages in your inbox. Of course, if you have forgotten your pin or access number, you can use OWA or Outlook 2007 to reset your pin and what not. In E2007, there is no other way to have your voice mail search folder recreated.

Problems you may encounter

Search folders may age out over time due to lack of use. This is because the Exchange store must maintain and index for each search folder and doing so isn't cheap. In fact, if you look at the search folders in OL2007, there will be some that are italicized. Those don't actually exist in your mailbox anymore. However, double click on one of those causes the search folder to be recreated (which causes Exchange to regenerate the index, etc...). Now, we have had some isolated cases where double clicking on the voice mail folder (when it is italicized) causes the voice mail folder to be regenerated in such a way that EWS cannot see if (via DistinguishedFolderIdNamesType.voicemail). It will simply return ErrorFolderNotFound. Yet, it is indeed there. If you call FindFolder against the searchfolders distinguished folder id, you will indeed see it. This is an known issue. You have two options in this case. You can either grab the folderId of the voice mail folder after a FindFolder against searchfolders, although I highly discourage this given that you would have to determine the voicemail folder by display name which isn't exceedingly reliable. The other option (which isn't pretty either) is to delete the voice mail search folder and then dial into the UM system and check you voice mail so that Exchange recreates the voice mail search folder. Then EWS will be able to see it.

Keep in mind that the existence (or lack thereof) of the voice mail search folder does NOT affect the delivery of voice mails to your mailbox. The voicemail search folder simply makes it easier for you to see which email messages are actually voice mails.

Hope this helps.

Unable to use powershell from C# - The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this machine

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:20:29 Z

Hi,

I want to execute cmdlet from C# code. Following is the code snippet

------------------------------------

RunspaceConfiguration

rsconfig = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();

PSSnapInException snapEx = null;

PSSnapInInfo pssnap = rsconfig.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin", out snapEx);

Runspace rscmdlet = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(rsconfig);

rscmdlet.Open();

--------------------------------

This throws exception "The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin' is not installed on this machine." I verified that exchange management tool, windows power shell & exchange management shell is installed on my machine.

I am building my C# code in "Any CPU" configuration. Tried with x64 as well but no luck.

I tried executing the following command from exchange management shell & getting the same error.
add-pssnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin

machine configuration
Exchange version : : 14.00.0639.014
OS : Windows 2008 64 bit

Can anybody please tell what is missing on machine & from where to install the missing component.

Problem with Contact.Update(...) EWS Managed API

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:58:37 Z

Hello,

we are currently writing a server based synchronisation tool between our own CRM Software and Exchange. A few month ago I have completed a service to sync appointments from our SQLServer to Exchange. It works fine. Now we want to sync Contacts from CRM -> Exchange. Creating Contacts is no problem (excluding the "Title" :) ). But now I have a little problem with the Update( ... ) Method from the Contact object.

In the case that I see that data from a contact has changed, we set all data new and call the update method. But here i got a Exception that says: An object within a change description must contain one and only one property to modify

But... After trying out different ways and jumping around in my code, I discoverd that we can set more than one property and call Update( ... ) without getting a exception.
For Example:

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.InterNet) Then mContactperson.BusinessHomePage = company.InterNet
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessPhone) = company.Telefon
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessFax) = company.Telefax

Update( ... ) works...

Also

' mContactperson is a 'Contact' object
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.InterNet) Then mContactperson.BusinessHomePage = company.InterNet
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessPhone) = company.Telefon
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessFax) = company.Telefax

Dim PHAdress As New PhysicalAddressEntry
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Ort) Then PHAdress.City = company.Adresse.Ort
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Staat) Then PHAdress.State = company.Adresse.Staat
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Plz) Then PHAdress.PostalCode = company.Adresse.Plz

mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Business) = PHAdress

Update( ... ) works...

But when I now set another physical adress like this...

' mContactperson is a 'Contact' object
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.InterNet) Then mContactperson.BusinessHomePage = company.InterNet
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessPhone) = company.Telefon
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Telefon) Then mContactperson.PhoneNumbers(PhoneNumberKey.BusinessFax) = company.Telefax

Dim PHAdress As New PhysicalAddressEntry
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Ort) Then PHAdress.City = company.Adresse.Ort
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Staat) Then PHAdress.State = company.Adresse.Staat
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(company.Adresse.Plz) Then PHAdress.PostalCode = company.Adresse.Plz

mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Business) = PHAdress

Dim PrivatePHAddress As New PhysicalAddressEntry()
mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Home).Street = ap.Adresse.Straße
mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Home).City = ap.Adresse.Ort
mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Home).PostalCode = ap.Adresse.Plz
mContactperson.PhysicalAddresses.Item(PhysicalAddressKey.Home).State = ap.Adresse.Staat

Update throws the exception

So it seems editing more than one physical adress causes the problem. But what makes me real confusing is that I also get the exception when we call Update( ... ) between editing the two physical adresses. Is this the wrong way to update a contact?

RoutingAgent and meeting requests

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:05:30 Z

Hello,
i would like to write an exchange 2007 routing agent that intercept meeting requests and can read all data of meeting.
I succeded in intercepting meeting message, but I can not find where the meeting information is stored.
I've analyzed all headers, but no header about meeting is present. I've found that EmailMessage class has a property CalendarPart, but it is always null. I need to access start and end date of meeting for example.

Another question is if it's possible to send a reply message inside the routing agent.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance,
Fabio.
