How to get all events for a perticular date, (need exact filter)

[tushar.p.marathe]

Hi,

In the Outlook Instant search using Folder.GetTable() method, we found
that while filtering the calendar events for a particular date it is
giving all calendar events for that date plus all recurring items even
if not on that date ( i.e. if we have recurring meeting say weekly
meeting on Monday and we are firing query on Tuesday's date to get
calendar events then we are getting all events on that Tuesday's date
plus the recurring meeting on Monday which occurrence is not on
Tuesday's date). These problems are with the Weekly, Monthly and
Yearly calendar items.

So to get exact result which filters we will need to use in the
Folder.GetTable() method??

I am using following filter :
@SQL=(
(
(
(urn:schemas:calendar:dtstart >= '12:00 AM, 04/18/2007')
&
(urn:schemas:calendar:dtstart < '12:00 AM,04/19/2007')
)
|
(
(urn:schemas:calendar:dtend > '12:00 AM, 04/18/2007')
&
(urn:schemas:calendar:dtend <= '12:00 AM,04/19/2007')
)
)
)


Please help ..

Thanks in advance

When you add a filter to a Table object you are dealing with raw MAPI
properties, not Outlook properties that have been massaged to show local
time. You must use UTC times with tables in all cases. So do any of those
dates when compensated for local time still return items that are out of
your filter range?

Yes i am not using UTC time but still it must have to give me the
exact result of my given filter range.
And only recurrence events those are not scheduled within the filter
range are coming with the events which are scheduled within the filter
range.
You can say that all the recurrences items in my calendar are coming
when i filter out events within a perticular range.

Can you try using the above posted filter ?? what is the result you
are getting ??

According to the help on filtering items you must use Items.Filter or
Items.Restrict if you want your filter to work with recurring items. Use
Items.IncludeRecurrences before applying the filter or restriction. The help
goes on to say that the Table object returns only 1 row representing the
recurrent appointment item instead of one row foe each occurrence within the
filter parameters.
