Exchange Webservice Managed API - Find items by extended properties

Question

I have tried to use extended properties on appointments with EWS, but I can not seem to find the appointments again. The set property part is equal to the one shown in this

Answer 1

here's a samplecode how to create an appointment with the customid and find it after saving:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
        service.AutodiscoverUrl("someone@somewhere.com");

        ExtendedPropertyDefinition def = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.PublicStrings, "AppointmenId", MapiPropertyType.String);

        Guid testid = Guid.NewGuid ();

        Appointment appointment = new Appointment(service);
        appointment.Subject = "Test";
        appointment.Start = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
        appointment.End = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2);
        appointment.SetExtendedProperty(def, testid.ToString());
        appointment.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar);

        SearchFilter filter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(def, testid.ToString());

        FindItemsResults<Item> fir = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, filter, new ItemView(10));

hope this helps you...

Answer 2

You search the inbox for appointments. There you will never find them. Try to search in the Calendar instead.

Answer 3

Here is an example of putting the guid as extension property and getting the appointment based on the guid.

private static readonly PropertyDefinitionBase AppointementIdPropertyDefinition = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(DefaultExtendedPropertySet.PublicStrings, "AppointmentID", MapiPropertyType.String);
public static PropertySet PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, AppointementIdPropertyDefinition);


//Setting the property for the appointment 
 public static void SetGuidForAppointement(Appointment appointment)
{
    try
    {
        appointment.SetExtendedProperty((ExtendedPropertyDefinition)AppointementIdPropertyDefinition, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
        appointment.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite, SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // logging the exception
    }
}

//Getting the property for the appointment
 public static string GetGuidForAppointement(Appointment appointment)
{
    var result = "";
    try
    {
        appointment.Load(PropertySet);
        foreach (var extendedProperty in appointment.ExtendedProperties)
        {
            if (extendedProperty.PropertyDefinition.Name == "AppointmentID")
            {
                result = extendedProperty.Value.ToString();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
     // logging the exception
    }
    return result;
}
