Microsoft Outlook and ASP.NET

[Dash Weh]

Does anyone know where to find a good tutorial for working with Outlook
from an IE ASP.NET Application?

Are there any stability issues I should be concerned about?

I'm trying to create an Outlook Appointment in both a private user's
mailbox as well as in a Public Folder from a submission on an ASP.NET
WebPage.

Maybe you can find something good here:

About accessing local and shared folders, I just had some questions
about this in another forum and I posted some of my code for anyone
else who asked. Note the Outlook-specific forums will be helpful for
your project.

Regarding using Outlook in a multi-user, multi-threaded environment,
this is highly discouraged. See this well known knowledge base
article on the topic:

That said, there are ways to do this, maybe asynchronously from the
user session. (Get the request from the user, store it in a database.
Then have a separate process check the db for data that needs to be
uploaded to Outlook, and process each transaction in a single thread.)

Also look into Outlook Redemption (see Dmitry's link in the thread
link above), which will really help with the project you describe.

About ASP.NET to Outlook Appointments, I just wrote and delivered this
to one of my clients - it's very cool when it finally works.

Hope that helps.
