Rrecipient List

[Peter]

Does anyone have an example of C# code on how to get Email Rrecipients
List from Active Directory?

[Peter Huang]

Hi Peter,

I did not figure what do you mean very well.
Do you mean you wants to get the items in the Contact Folder in the Outlook
or the recipient of a MailMessage?
Here is some code that will automation outlook to Enumerate the Contact Box
or Enumerate the recipients in a sentmail.

using System;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Outlo ok;
namespace AutoOutLook
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Enumerate the Contact Box
Outlook.Applica tion olApp = new Outlook.Applica tionClass();
Outlook.MAPIFol der mf =
olApp.GetNamesp ace("MAPI").Get DefaultFolder(O utlook.OlDefaul tFolders.olFold e
rContacts);
foreach(object ci in mf.Items)
{
if (ci as Outlook.Contact Item != null)
Console.WriteLi ne(((Outlook.Co ntactItem)ci).F ullName);
}
//Enumerate the recipients in a sentmail
Outlook.MAPIFol der mf2 =
olApp.GetNamesp ace("MAPI").Get DefaultFolder(O utlook.OlDefaul tFolders.olFold e
rSentMail);
Console.WriteLi ne(mf2.Items.Co unt);
Outlook.MailIte m mi = (Outlook.MailIt em)mf2.Items.Ge tFirst();
foreach (object recip in mi.Recipients)
{
if (recip as Outlook.Recipie nt != null)
Console.WriteLi ne(((Outlook.Re cipient)recip). Name);
}
}
}
}

If I misunderstandin g you meaning, can you describe what do you mean more
detailed and what do you want to do detailed?
I will appreciate your efforts.

That's not what I meant, but actually this might work better for me.

Thank you very much!
I am getting the following error in the example:

foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Outlook.Items'
because 'Outlook.Items' does not contain a definition for 'GetEnumerator' ,
or it is inaccessible

I am using Office XP.

How can iterate through all of the Items either using foreach or for loop?

Hi Peter,

The Object Modal of outlook catalogized the items as a few MAPI folders,
e.g. Contacts, Send Mail and so on.
So if we wants to iterate all the item in the outlook we may need to get
the folder first.
e.g.
Outlook.MAPIFol der mf =
olApp.GetNamesp ace("MAPI").Get DefaultFolder(O utlook.OlDefaul tFolders.olFold e
rContacts);
The code line above will retrieve the Contact folder and then we can
iterate the items in the folder.

The code I post will runs fine on my side.
Have you tried the exact code I post in my last post?
Which code line gives out the error message?

To isolate the problem, you may try to add a reference to the outlook and
then copy and paste the code below into an console application for a test.

using System;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Outlo ok;
namespace AutoOutLook
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Outlook.Applica tion olApp = new Outlook.Applica tionClass();
Outlook.MAPIFol der mailFolder =
olApp.GetNamesp ace("MAPI").Get DefaultFolder(O utlook.OlDefaul tFolders.olFold e
rInbox);
Outlook.MailIte m mItem = (Outlook.MailIt em)mailFolder.I tems[1];
Console.WriteLi ne(mItem.Subjec t);
foreach( object mi in mailFolder.Item s)
{
if ( mi as Outlook.MailIte m !=null)
Console.WriteLi ne(((Outlook.Ma ilItem)mi).Subj ect);
}

}
}
}

You may have a try and let me know the result.

I found the problem with the code, Office 10 does not implement a
GetEnumerator() method that's why it does not work on my computer.

But I am back to the original problem, is there a way to get email address
list from GAL using Active Directory or some other method without Outlook or
any other COM programs? Because Outlook displays the dialog box when you
try to access an email address, and that gets annoying realy fast. I am
converting an Outlook Form to C# program, because of the problems with the
new security features and I need to display the Global Address List for the
user.

Peter

Thanks
