You can use the third-party Redemption library
(

improvement over) CDO.

I don't know of any .NET examples, but here's one for VBA using CDO that
will show you the right field to use:

Setting the color label on the appointment is possible, but maybe your
customer is not aware that something similar can be done without programming
using automatic formatting of the view? Also, I would not recommend spending
much effort building such a system for Outlook 2003, because Outlook 2007
completely changes the way color coding in the calendar, basing it all on the
value of the Categories property.

That's not possible. Attendees don't have colors assigned to them.
