I'm trying to detect which contacts are currently opened, the only way I could come up with that was to actually get the items in the windows taskbar then compare the items to the contact list on Msn. This way when Bob@hotmail.com is currently opened my application can show a listbox of all the current opened Msn contacts. Is there an easier way to view the current open contacts with MessengerAPI

I have been working on an application that has a built in contact database.I would like to be able to syncronize this with Outlook.
Specifically:
1)Bring Contacts in Custom App over to Outlook
2)Keep info on those contacts syncronized in Outlook and Custom App
3)Ignore contacts that are in Outlook but not in Custom App(ie do NOT bring them into custom App)
I am writing a Media Centre Addin in Vb.net and it was all going good until i got to the point where i want to find the "Currently Playing song FilePath or URl"I have spend a number of hours racking my brain to figure out a way of seeing what the "Currently Opened Files" are on a machine at any point of time.
My idea is to get all the currently opened files, and then filter the Extensions from these and find the media item that is currently playing, and get the filepath.Does anyone know how i can do this? and what methods or classes or Librarys i should be looking at or importing In..

I have a VB.NET windows application in which I'm using Outlook's contacts as my address book to get a list of email addresses. I'd like it to use Outlook as the address book, but if an Outlook mailbox has not been set up or there are no contacts then I don't want Outlook to come up at all. The problem that I'm having is as soon as I try to access Outlook the Outlook Startup Wizard comes up, which I don't want to happen. Here is my code:
Dim ao As Outlook.Application
Dim ons As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Contacts As Outlook.Items

from Windows Vista, user contacts are not stored in .wab files anymore...However, they are stored here:

I want to CREATE / GENERATE contacts programatically and save them here in the same format.This format is very simple and is user readable.For example, this sample:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<c:contact c:Version="1" xmlns:c="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Contact" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:MSP2P="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Contact/Extended/MSP2P">

However, although the final file contents will be exactly in the same format, but Windows will not recognize my created files as contacts!This is strange, I am sure they are in the same format!
change the file as format for certain contacts. The issue is that it works fine with all contacts except ones who do not list a Company Name. When it runs it returns this file As Format:

View 1 RepliesI'm making a program for me and my partner to keep track of our contacts via a DataGridView. The thing is, I'm really confused by Databases. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a database or a solution to do this. I want it to be really simple, MySql is a little too much for what I'm doing, I'm just storing a custom class called "Contacts" into a DataGridView. The "Contacts" class has 3 properties at the moment.Name, Phone, Email. The database also needs to be online so my partner can access it. MYSQL might be the only option, I'm not sure

View 9 RepliesI created a vb.net application that reads a data file (SQL table) and creates contacts and groups from this data. If I run this application and point the Contact folder to my local Outlook folders, the application runs fine. It creates about 550 contact and 10 groups. My problem is when I go to run the application against a public folder that am the "owner" of with full permissions it will run fine until it hits items 250 and then I get a COM error.

I have an application which saves contacts from Outlook/Csv onto a disk, from a Treeview. Now I want to provide security for this file. I want to provide encryption using AES algorithm to the file before it is saved on the disk. My problem here is how I encrypt it before saving the contents from the treeview into the file on the disk. Also I want to decrypt the file contents and load treeview if i find the file is encrypted.
View 3 RepliesI have a for loop going through customers and for each customer a update a list of contacts. If there is an error updating the contacts I want it to move on to the next customer and if there is an error in the customer update I want it to move on to the next customer. At the moment if I get an error it bombs out of the routine. Here is a simple example:-
For iRows = 0 to oledscustomers.tables(0).rows.count - 1
For iContactRows = 0 to oledscontacts.tables(0).rows.count - 1
'make some changes in here.
Next
Update Contact Table
'Make changes to customer tables and save them.
Next
If I get errors in the contact for loop or the customer loop it comes out of the routine altogether. I just want it to either continue to the next contact or customer.

I have some code that locates all the contact folders that a user has access to by iterating through the Application.Session.Stores collection.This works for the user's contacts and also all the public contacts folders. It also finds all the contacts folders in additional mailbox accounts that the user has added via the Tools -> Account Settings... menu command.
However, this requires the user to have full access to the other person's account. When a user only has access to another person's contacts, then that person's contacts show up under the "People's Contacts" group in the Contacts view. How do I find those contact folders that don't show up under Session.Stores?
In order to see the other user's contacts folder without adding access to their full mailbox, click File -> Open -> Other User's Folder... from the Outlook menu. In the dialog box, enter the other user's name and select Contacts from the Folder type drop down list.
Here's the code (minus the error checking and logging) I'm using to find a list of all the user's Outlook contact folders. I know this can (and maybe should) be done using early binding to the Outlook.Application type, but that doesn't affect the results. EnumerateFolders is recursive so that it searches all sub folders.
Dim folderList = New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Dim outlookApp = CreateObject(Class:="Outlook.Application")
For Each store As Object In outlookApp.Session.Stores
EnumerateFolders(folderList, store.GetRootFolder)

I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.
