  Hello all, I have created an add-in which adds user properties to appointments. When I try to recover these user properties from the calendar of other users, I use the find method to recover all the appointments between a period of time of 3 months. Then, I browse the results to find if the properties meet the criteria, I have the following error : Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem'.

• Visual Studio ERROR: VSS2005, files in loggedin not going away

  I have an issue where if I do an analyze overnight (usually only take 15 to 20 minutes), my database is still locked when I come back in the next morning. This is because when Analyze runs it puts a file named "admin.lck" into the loggedin directory. When it is done, it is not always removing the file. I am also seeing the files that are created when a user logs in not getting removed when the user logs out. I had this problem this morning and I actually had to delete all the files in the loggedin directory so that my developers could get into the database and checkout files. Is there something that I have setup wrong or is t ...Show All

• .NET Development I want to create my own OLEDB Provider dll, is it possible?

  I have a unique datasource that does not provide an oledb connection option.  I can connect by other means and get the data I want.  Then I want to translate that data and expose it from my dll as an oledb data provider.  Is this possible blaise We're not simply replacing the MS OLEDB for Oracle Provider.  We don't have access to the db period.  We'll be using SAP.Net Connectors and making BAPI calls to get the information out of SAP.  Then provide that data to Mapguide via our OLE DB DLL.
