VS 2010 Retrieving Specific Emails (MAPI / CDO / WSK)
Mar 1, 2012
I have decided to go down the MAPI / CDO or Winsock route in my application. Sending emails is easy enough. However, I need to retrieve and display emails. The slight twist in the tail is that I don't want to download / access all emails, just those from a certain sender's email address. Most users will have Outlook installed on the computer but i'd rather not rely on this unless I have to. I'm not sure which technology to use and how to go about this as I don't want to download all messages and then iterate through them. I'd rather just request emails with specific properties.
I am using VB5 on a Windows XP SP3 computer.I have an application that send emails to customers that have birthdays today and that bought a product from me today. If I run the application several times with the same search criteria with the same customers and the same date and time, I "may" or "may not" get the save Emails sent out.I am using a MAPI Signon prior to the birthday select and MAPI Signoff after the birthday select; another MAPI Signon prior to the sales today select and MAPI Signoff after the sales today select.I count the emails that are supposed to be produced in each select above and the counts are correct. It's the emails that may not agree with the counts.What could cause this?
Hi, I'm trying to receive email in vb.net and I found a great tutorial on how to do it. However, I need a component named ADODB and Interop.MAPI.dll to do so. Where could I find either component?
I have a program that searches for a word in a .txt file. When it finds the word I want to print the following 5 lines under that word. So for example: I search for "juice", and my label grabs this out of the textfile: juice apple grape orange milk Is there anyway to this in VB.NET?
I have two .resx files in my project. One is called Labels.resx , the other is called Labels.fr.resx. The first is meant to be English the second is French. Right now they each only have one item, a string with the key "label1". The values are in English and French.The issue is that even when I try to access the resource as French just hard coding the culture in an attempt to get this working:
'hard code the culture as French Dim c As System.Globalization.CultureInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr")
I need some help working out the logic when retrieving specific times from a userform I have created. In my userform, users are required to input a start and a end time in 24 hour time format. I am struggling to work out how best to analyze the selected times in order to multiply them by a set of rates, the rates are quite simple:
DayHours rate (day time is between 07:00 - 22:59)
NightHours rate (night time is between 23:00 - 06:59)
I cannot workout the logic to ascertain how many hours have been selected for which rate in an elegant manner, my best attempts so far are clunky and not quite there.
how could I get the text of a specific cell in a DataGridView control ? If it matters , in my case , all the cells contain strings or nothing . For example , in order to get the text from the cell on row 2 and column 3 , what code do I have to use ? I have tried the Value property but seems that's not it . I've found some examples on the web ,but they were all for C# ... I guess , though , it has to be easy .
At present I have wrote an application (in-house CRM, vb .net 2010) which allows me to send emails under the selected customer & I categorised these emails.As these are categorised I can return data to display email history in my program by using search criteria:
Dim oMail As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail) Dim sSearch As String sSearch = "[Categories] = '" + "[" + tAccount.Text.Trim + "]" + "(" + tShipTo.Text.Trim + ")'" Dim oItems As Outlook.Items = oMail.Items.Restrict(sSearch)
However the limitation to the above is it only looks at sent items & no other folder.My ideal solution would be to display all email correspondence for a certain contact.
I'm working on an automated program, and it needs to check the latest email on a certain account (which will be passed to it) every 15 seconds or so. Setting up the timer and the passing to the timer the username and password is easy, but it's the reading the email that I'm having trouble with. How exactly can I read the first few emails from my inbox and put them in an array? And after that, how can I access the body and subject, for example email.body and email.subject?
I'm trying to convert an old intranet site we have, to a more user friendly web, the problem is, we have thousands of pages, and i need to scrape the emails from them.The emails on the page could by hyperlinks, or just straight text, and I cant seem to figure out how to get more then 1 at a time, and put them in listbox. If there are 10 emails on a page, i only seem to get one.[code]
I want to make an app in VB Express 2010 that receives emails. Once an email is received the program would auto reply and send one line of text from a textbox. Then next to the line in the textbox it will put the email address of the recipient and a forward slash. So look at it this way.
When that finishes then the next email that comes in would receive line 2 in the textbox and line 2 in the textbox would change like above. I think i can use a message queue from the tools in vb. And the email client is gmail.
I've seen that there are several options out there for being able to send email from within a Visual Basic program, but I've seen much less written about how to use the program to receive emails. What I'd like to do is set up a dedicated email account (probably g-mail or Yahoo or something similar, although it could be through the email package that comes with my web hosting) that I'd use to send short text commands to the program from my laptop or smart phone. Periodically the program would download new emails (if any), and parse the body to see what I'm telling it to do. Something like, "cmd a" tells it to e-mail me Report A, "cmd b" tells it to e-mail me Report B, etc.
is there any way to move a contact or apointment item from a file (ie C: est) to a MAPI folder? The way I have it set up now I can save all the items from the outlook MAPI folder into the file, but I can't retrieve them. I've tried my.computer. filesystem. copyfile, but there seems to be no way of feeding it the mapi folder as a string it can understand. I've tried to see if I could open the .msg from the file as any format I could think of, and then saving it. No luck there. I've searched extensively, too, though I'm not sure I was using the correct terms.
My end goal is to make a folder on a shared drive that other users can go to and look at a list of contacts and or calendar items, then possibly upload them into their own contacts/calendars. I've even tried taking all the relevent data out of them and putting it into a text file, then uploading it to outlook. I got that working well enough, but it seems so convoluted, and is far from robust. It seems like it should be easy to just copy them over, since you can just click and drag them on the UI, but I haven't had any luck
I want to upgrade and re-write a VB6 program in VB.NET I used VB6 MAPI MAPISession & MAPIMessages to read and view email messages into a Data Grid in the VB6 program I want to be able to load and view the email messages into a DataGrid in VB.NET using Visual Studio
Not at all sure of what I should be searching for or what replaces the VB6 MAPI method in the VB NET code
I have tried searching for sample code and read many forums, but still not on the right track
In Windows XP as well as in Vista,it was possible to compose and send out an email using MAPI with the default email application MS Outlook,utlook Express or anyother. Butin Windows7, it is not possible to send out mails using MAPI.The ResolveNamefunction callprompts an error. I found that ResolveName function is deprecated Is there anything else can fix this problem?Following is a sample of the code
I have a function that is suppost to take a list of strings then split up each part. This is my code For i As Integer = 1 To UPdata.Count If InStr(UPdata(i), "!!") Then Dim DataTBP() As String Do DataTBP = UPdata(i).Split("!!") [Code] .....
One section of UPdata would look something like ABC#DEF@GHIHSJD!!143#ISJ@PSIODH!! What I want it to do is firstly separate the lines using !! so i would be left with ABC#DEF@GHIHSJD 143#ISJ@PSIODH That part works fine and I am left with an array DataTBP() with 2 values. The strings found above. Its then suppose to extract the part before # for every string left in DataTBP (In my example two) but the function that's meant to do this:
For j As Integer = 0 To UBound(DataTBP) Dim DataType As String = DataTBP(j) DataType = DataType.Split("#") Select Case DataTBP(j) [Code] .....
Throws me the error Value of type '1-dimensional array of String' cannot be converted to 'String'. But I don't know why as DataTBP(j) is a string not an array but a string. I've also tried For Each a As String In DataTBP Dim DataType As String = a.Split("#") Next It throws the same error

I'm using VS2010 Express. I have a VB.net project, where I need to find the metadata of individual files; Artist, Author, Comments, etc. (Specifically I need to find the video length in time of .wtv files). I have searched, but could only find VB6 examples and other code snippets that simply didn't work as they required some retired com or dll to do it. How do I do it in the latest VB.net? NOT VB6, C# or anything else. VB.Net in Visual Studio 2010 Express.

But I want the Cost property to be displayed in a label as I add each item into a ListBox. In context, I add an item from a listbox into another and when I do the Cost of each item will be added into the label. Like a checkout system and that's the running total.

I'm using the MAPI code by Dave Brooks.I am attempting to programatically send out a Crystal Report that is generated.When I run through the code without threading everything runs fine. The problem is when I use threading I get the return error "General MAPI failure [2]".I have never used threading before and understand that there are dangers involved. Can anyone provide any insight into this issue? NOTE: I've removed exception handling to make the code clearer.[code]
