You can't reliably use the Outlook API from an ASP.NET application. Outlook is only designed to be automated from interactive client applications.

You can however use the Exchange Web Services API to access the data in Exchange. This is much better than using Outlook even if it were possible because you don't incur the heavy overhead of the Outlook application just to access the data.

Don't know of any off hand but DevExpress makes a great commercial ASP.NET scheduler control. It will cost far more for you to develop it than it would to buy it.

Here is an excellent scheduling tool in ASP.net. Have been using it for years and it is great. http://www.daypilot.org/
