Question

Outlook AppointmentItem Write Event - how many times does it execute

Answer 1

+2 A:

Hi, Sounds like you want it to capture the send event of the Appointment, or build a userproperty into the item that flag if it has been procesed and then check for that on each save.

       Outlook.ItemEvents_Event _apptEvents = (Outlook.ItemEvents_Event)ai;
    _apptEvents.Send += new Outlook.ItemEvents_SendEventHandler(_itemClass_ItemEvents_Event_Send);

Ok I'll give that a go, but then how do I capture the send event? there's a Send() method, but I'm not sure how to capture the send event. Using the same code as capturing write event, for example, gives me a warning and error that it's using the method group, rather than the event:Error:Cannot assign to 'Send' because it is a 'method group'Warning: Ambiguity between method 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._AppointmentItem.Send()' and non-method 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event.Send'. Using method group.

What version of outlook are you using ? the 2007 app send event http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb175136(v=office.12).aspx

Hi, yeah I use 2007 - I know the send event is there, but when I try to add a handler, it gives me the error as per above. Any ideas how I force it to use the event - the line of code that is the problem here is:ai.Send += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(ai_Send);Thanks, M

Thanks Marcus, that works. Any ideas why write event gets fired off a number of times? Seems strange. Nevertheless, using send should get the job done. Cheers, Marcin.
