Accessing Outlook Contacts

SWu
Hello everyone,

I am working on an Internet website for an Application Service Provider. A
user can store employee details on the site. I am now researching the
feasibility of accessing the contacts stored in the user's local Outlook.
In other words, the client browser has to be able to access the user's
Outlook contacts. Obviously, the user has to permit the browser to access
the contacts.

I say "client browser" because the approach of somehow letting the web
server access many different private Exchange servers (one Exchange per user
from a different company) sounds very bad.

Could someone please point me in the right direction for investigating how
to do this?

Regards,
Stephen

access contacts, calendar, etc, from outlook.

Can anyone provide a small snippet in C# that pulls out the Contacts in Outlook XP. I've seen a couple of examples in C++ and VB in previous newsgroup posts, but either the originals didn't work or my conversion skills are weak. And if I have to use tlbimp.exe what is the right file to use. Thanks for the help. -- Fritz

Hi. I have am using c# and the outlook object model to access the outlook address book, but once you have more than a 100 or so contacts in the folder it takes far too long to iterate through them.

You can see I have commented out the dialog box filling section, to see that thats not causing the slowdown, its the...

Hi all My access database has import/export capabiltiy of contact details between outlook. The database is getting big now (1000+ contacts) and so are the outlook address books that have the contacts info in them.

I have been able to get things set up so that I can synchronize my Quickbooks customer and vendor lists with the Outlook contacts, and thus with my PDA and this has been immensely helpful. My DB has...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
