Loop through selected items in C#???

[TC]

Hey All,

Does anyone know how to do the following in C#? I've tried using the
"GetType().ToString()" method and it only returns "System._COMObject".

' The objOutlookItem is of type object because the selection object
' may contain multiple types of items (i.e. AppointmentItem, MailItem,
etc.)
For Each objOutlookItem In g_objThisAddIn.OutlookExplorer.Selection
Select Case TypeName(objOutlookItem)
Case g_constrMAIL_ITEM
' Do something
Case g_constrCONTACT_ITEM
' Do something
End Select
Next objOutlookItem

Thanks in advance.

All the objects returned by the OutlookExporer.Selection should have a
"class" property returning an integer value. You can use this property to
check what item it is:

Mail = 43
Task = 48
Contact = 40
....

For a complete list check

Hey Gabriel,

Hmmm. Very interesting.

I ended up solving by simply trying to cast the object and, if successful, I
knew what I had.

Thanks for the tip.
