VSTO plugin + Distribution List resolution problem.. "Sanjay" <spatel005[ at ]gmail.com> 5/12/2006 1:38:53 PM Hello -- I have a VSTO plugin for Outlook 2003 SP2. It checks the recipients for each message against a list and issues a warning if there is a match. If the recipients list contains a Distribution List, it will resolve all the recipients within that DL and do its validation... My issues is that outlook will intermittently report the DL recipient as a "olUser" instead of "olDistList"... ie: Recipient.DisplayType is reported as olUser.. Even the members property of Recipient.AddressEntry is null. Has somebody else faced this issue? Please suggest workarounds.. Thanks. Sanjay

Re: VSTO plugin + Distribution List resolution problem.. "Sanjay" <spatel005[ at ]gmail.com> 5/12/2006 3:55:52 PM Some more details.. I have one DL "DL Group ALL" that is composed of 2 DL's "DL Group 1" & "DL Group 2". Now if I add these DL's individually to a message, Outlook and the plugin behave as expected. But if I add "DL Group ALL" to the "TO" list of a new message and then expand the "DL" and then hit send, the 2 child DL's are reported as olUser instead of olDistList. ????

Re: VSTO plugin + Distribution List resolution problem.. "Sanjay" <spatel005[ at ]gmail.com> 5/12/2006 5:44:05 PM The expanding is not done in code... it is done simply by click on the [+] next to the DL name in the TO list.
