Outlook Address book dialog

[PromisedOyster]

We have a Winforms C# application.

How can I get access to the Outlook address book (as is shown by
Outlook) from within our application. When the users select email
addresses, I want to paste them into a text field.

You would need to use CDO 1.21 (which is not supported in .NET langauges), Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com) or the Address Book wrapper (msosvabw.dll). See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/selectnames.htm for a CDO example; Redemption works largely the same.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
