Use Outlook contact list/address book from web application
Hello Everybody,
We are developing web application (using asp.net). There are several e-mail fields which users shall fill in. Users would like to have "+" button near the e-mail field. Upon pressing that button they want to have their outlook address book in front of them. So they just want from our web application to communicate with outlook address book somehow. (like it is when you creating new mail in Outlook and press "To..." button). The question is - Is it possible? If yes, how could it be done? Thanks a lot! |

Possible, but quite difficult if you want to write a generic application
that users of Outlook in any configuration can use. Such an application would need an ASP.NET custom control with client-side JScript to manage the interaction with the address book component in Outlook, an interaction that will itself trigger security prompts. Not fun at all. If you're working in an Exchange environment, though, it might be interesting to see if anyone's done any work in using WebDAV to generate something that looks like the OL address book. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Anton Viktorov" wrote in message om...
