问题
I'm looking to develop an Outlook Add-In, in which I receive a meeting room request and propose another room based upon conditions relating number of participants and size of the other rooms. I'm attempting to do this using a VSTO Add-In in C#.
My problem comes in the algorithm to determine the list of rooms and which room is smaller. From research, I can see that Outlook incorporates a number of RESTful APIs (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/calendar-rest-operations). However, I'm running into roadblocks in terms of how to call the APIs and how to get their data.
Is this possible in a VSTO add-in? If so, how could I get and store a list of the meeting rooms in Outlook using the REST APIs? I know there are other types of add-ins but I'm unfamiliar with Javascript and thus I'd like to stay with C#.

We recommend using the web add-in framework, instead of COM, for writing an Outlook add-in. The web add-in framework enables developers to:
- Write once and have their add-in run across supported Outlook clients enabling the add-in to reach millions of Outlook Desktop, Outlook for Web, Outlook for Mac, and Outlook Mobile users.
- Simplified deployment through the Office store, enabling users to acquire your add-in with a single click.
- Access to user mailbox data via a rich REST based API set.
In addition to the benefits of the web add-in framework, Microsoft is not investing in new functionality on the COM platform. We understand COM add-ins may support different scenarios than the web add-in framework and thus are continually investing in the web add-in framework.
If you have any feedback or new functionality you would like to see available in the web add-in framework please let us know.
We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there.
