I received a requirement that send outlook appointment to the attendees of the meeting automatically after they booked the meeting.
For that I found a solution to send a outlook appointment to the attendees.
Please add reference 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook' Verson 11
private void test(string name, string location, string startTime, string endTime, string body, string email)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlookApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); // creates new outlook app
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem oAppointment = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem)outlookApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olAppointmentItem); // creates a new
oAppointment.Subject = "Meeting""; // set the subject
oAppointment.Body = "This is important"; // set the body
oAppointment.Location = "NewYork"; // set the location
oAppointment.Start = Convert.ToDateTime(startTime); // Set the start date
oAppointment.End = Convert.ToDateTime(endTime); // End date
oAppointment.ReminderSet = true; // Set the reminder
oAppointment.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15; // reminder time
oAppointment.Importance = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceHigh; // appointment importance
oAppointment.BusyStatus = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlBusyStatus.olBusy;
oAppointment.Save();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mailItem = oAppointment.ForwardAsVcal();
// email address to send to
mailItem.To = email;
// send
mailItem.Send();
}
Now the appointment was sending successfully.....
Important note you must configure you outlook in your machine because the from address is automatically fetched from the outlook account.
But I received a warning message like 'A program is trying to send an e-mail message on your behalf. If this is unexpected, click
deny and verify you antivirus software is up-to-date.'
This is terrible because the administrator of the server is not responsible to click allow or deny each and every time.
To stop this please follow the steps;
In outlook 2007
1. Go to Toools->Trust Center
2. Select 'Programatic Access'
3. There select 'Never warn me about suspicious access' because my antivirus was expired...... so check your antivirus and select the first option i.e 'Warn me about suspicious access when my antivirus is in-active or out-of-date'
Happy Coding :)
