Accessing MS Exchange

[Durkin]

Hi. I am helping develop an intranet site and we would like to be able to access information from an exchange server (address list, calendar etc.). Can someone please point me in the right direction for some simple overview documentation (or just tell me how;-))?

Thanks

Durkin

Thanks Dimandja. Do you know of any using .NET?

Not off-hand. But a little googling will show you plenty of examples.

The code in that link will work in .NET with very minor modifications. Since you are posting here, I assume you are familiar with .NET.

Anyway, that code is heavily documented.

here's a lot of good info on using ADO (not ADO.Net)

http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=167787

Not sure if it would work, but you could try creating a connection string for ADO.Net using "ExOLEDB.DataSource" for the provider. It looks like you may be able to set the server to "

http://servername/mypublicstore"

where servername is the name of the server and mypublicstore is the name of the public store. Not sure if it'll work, but figure if it worked in ADO, there's got to be a way to do it in ADO.Net (Even if ADO's structure was significantly cooler)
