how to identify deleted contacts for outlook add-in for integratio Ayyappa Das 3/29/2007 5:18:03 AM I am working on integration of outlook contacts with a third party application. It needs to identify contacts that are deleted and delete it from the third party application. Is there anyway we can identify permanently deleted contacts from outlook? Thanks, Ayyappa

Re: how to identify deleted contacts for outlook add-in for integr Ayyappa Das 3/29/2007 1:50:01 PM Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. One other idea we were trying to implement for this:- Everytime a contact is deleted, add this deleted contact to a temporary storage (file?) and use this in the synchronization. From your experience, is this too cumbersome to do? Any pointers will be a great help..

Re: how to identify deleted contacts for outlook add-in for integr "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 3/29/2007 5:04:02 PM The problem is getting a reliable event when a contact is deleted. Your code must be running at the time of the deletion and the user shouldn't be deleting more than 16 items at a time and the contact should not be be the last item in the folder. Too many ifs.
