Outlook query

[sumeetkbali]

Hello

I am trying to create outlook appointments(outlook 2003) from ASP.NET
(VS 2005). I have tried the sample from http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=775
but everytime the mail is about to go out it says that there is
something trying to access your mailbox do you want to continue and
then I have to click OK each time. Since I want to send out the
appointment request automatically, I don't want to click on OK each
time and as that is a exchange security issue which the admin
controls, I don't have a say on that. Also eventhough I get a message
saying an application is sending a mail, the mail is never received by
the recepients. Any ideas?

Is webdav the way to go in this situation? If yes then are there any
good samples that I can be pointed to.

Please let me know and thanks for your help in advance.

You tried to use a code for a desktop application, designed to use the
local Outlook. This will not work from ASP.NET

Look at the following article:

Sending Appointments to an Outlook 2007 Calendar from an ASP.NET 2.0
Web Site

Hope this helps

Thanks Alexey for your prompt reply. I have outlook 2003 so hopefully
this will work with that as well. I'll check it out and let you know
how it goes.

Thanks again

I don't know if there any difference in the format of the ics file
between 2003 and 2007, hopefully not. But the basic idea is very
simple - just send that file to the client. I think the following code
is exactly what you have asked for

Hi Alexey

I tried the sample and after I have sent .ics file, and try to open it
in outlook I get the following error.

"This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar
appointment in iCalendar format.
To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead
of Lunar."


Following are the contents of the .ics file

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0

Try to delete the line with VERSION:2.0
