Email address of the current user cookiesncreamychoc[ at ]hotmail.com 9/7/2006 11:55:20 PM Hi Ppl, I need to retrieve the email address of the current user from an Appointment item using VB.NET (VS 05) via an add-in. [Quoted Text] >From what is already out there, 1. Session.CurrentUser may return the SMTP address or the distinguished name. Which setting on the Exchange server determines what it returns plz? (Cannot use LDAP as the user may not always be connected to the Internet/Intranet) 2. In the above scenario, there may or may not be a security message box. What determines the pop up of this box? 3. Use CDO. There are examples for using it with MailItem. Is it possible with an Appointment Item? 4. Any alternate solution? Thnx

Re: Email address of the current user "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 9/8/2006 12:41:10 AM 1. No such setting. If the Exchange provider is responsible for the user identity in the profile, you will always get an EX type address. You *can* retrieve the SMTP address(es) from an EX address entry. 2. Version of Outlook and the API that uou are using - see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm 3. Yes. To do what? 4. Solution to always retrieving an SMTP address? You will need to use Extended MAPI, CDO 1.21 or Redemption (no OOM) to retrieve either teh PR_SMTP_ADDRESS property (may not be available in the cached mode) or PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES property. <plug> Redemption (url below) exposes SMTPAddress property on the address entries: set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession") Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT 'Outlook 2002 and up MsgBox Session.CurrentUser.SMTPAddress </plug> Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool <cookiesncreamychoc[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:1157673320.867102.4660[ at ]e3g2000cwe.googlegroups.com...

Re: Email address of the current user "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 9/8/2006 5:44:44 AM 1. See #4 2. But the current user's e-mail address has nothing to do with a given appointment, does it not? 3. You cannot access Extended MAPI from .Net, at least MS does not support that. There is a MAPI33 library that allows to use Extended MAPi from .Net languages (I thing VB.Net only, but not C#), but if you never tried Extended MAPI, don't expect this to be an easy one afternoon project. In CDO 1.21 you will need to access Session.CurrentUser property, then use AddressEntry.Fields() to read the PR_SMTP_ADDRESS or PR_EMS_AB_PROXY_ADDRESSES property. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getsenderaddy.htm for an example that reads a sender SMTP address.
