Not my place to tell people how to answer questions, but why make any effort with stuff like this? The poster hasn't.

We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

hi all,
i'm trying to retrieve some values in an outlook mail (.msg file extension).
i already get some fields using outlook object model, then writte result in csv file. (outputfile)

MailItem items = (MailItem)outlook.CreateItemFromTemplate(inputfile, Type.Missing);
...
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Subject:{0}", items.Subject));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Sender Email Address:{0}", items.SenderEmailAddress));
...
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Text Body:{0}", items.Body));
...

Now i'd like to get some fields values in the content of the body

items.Body

. these values are splited with ":" .

My question: Can i use

MyString=Value.Split(:)[indexofvalue];

to retrieve custom values?
is it the right manner to do? some suggestions?

Thank you a lot for the answers.

Thim

Depends on the body. It might be HTML, or it might be plain text. It would be an odd email if it were just a set of fields separated by colons.

If that were the case, then yes, you're close.

string[] fields = value.Split(':');
string s1 = field[0];
string s2 = field[1];
etc. etc.

Rob Philpott.

Hey Rob thanks for your answer.
ok so i'm using the right methode.
with :

System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Html Body:{0}", items.HTMLBody));
 System.Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Text Body:{0}", items.Body));

i can even get .txt or html body, i chose txt body to avoid using Regular-Expressions !

my body look like:
---------
txtetxtet xt etxte txte txtetx tetxte txte txt etxtetx tetxtetxte
txtetxtetxtet xtetxtetxtetx tetxtetxtetxt etxtetx tetxtetxte

txtetxte : ............
txtetx tetxtetx tetxtet xtetxt etxtetxtet xtetxtet xtet xtetxte
txtetxte:....................
txtet xtetxtetx tetxtetxtet xtetxtetx tetxtetx tetxtet xtetxte
txtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxtetxte
txte txtetxt etxtetxtetxtetx tetxte txtetxtet tetxt etxtetxte
txtetxtextetxte:....................
---------

i can use ?

....
string[] fields = value.Split(':');
...

thanks,
Thim

Need to explain the content a bit more. What are the field delimiters?

A colon appears to be one, is a new line (CRLF) another?

INotifyPropertyChanged binding label problem during update in function

Hi Rob ,
The field delimiters are ' : ' (colon)
so i'm working on

string mybody =item.body

and use Methode

Split()

To look over my custom Fiels(Text Qualifier), but unfortunately i have some issues.

my text body look like:

Titel : MYPROJECT
Subject: NEWPROJECT
---------------
---------------
Manager:MYMANGER1
-------------------
---------------
with :

string title=bodyContent.split(':')[1]

I can already read 'title'. but when looking at the content of 'string title', it contain the next texte value!.

I get : title=MYPROJECT Subject:
instead of just:
title=MYPROJECT

and the same for the others fields.
How can i stop reading when found and read the value of the first colon ':' , I thought about using Readline(), but i know, i'll miss some line to read.
an others suggestion ?!

thanks a lot.

Re: INotifyPropertyChanged binding label problem during update in function

Hello I have a problem with update of binding of a label.
I have this simple class:

public partial class frTest : INotifyPropertyChanged
  {
    private string _message;
    public string Message
    {
      private set
      {
        _message = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("Message");
      }
      get
      {
        return _message;
      }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName = null)
    {
      PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
      if (handler != null)
      {
        handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
      }
    }

    public frTest()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      DataContext = this;
    }

    private void WindowLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      Message = "test";
      txtDevQty.Text = "1000";
      txtDevQty.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
      txtDevQty.IsEnabled = false;
    }

    private void BtnNextClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
      {
        Message = string.Format("Tested {0} of {1}", i, 1000);
        Thread.Sleep(10);
      }
    }
  }

I have in the xaml code a label with content binded to Message value

XML

<Label Name="lblHint" Content="{Binding Message}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="verdana" FontSize="11" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Black" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"></Label>

The problem is that when i launch the BtnNextClick function,i see the label updated only at the end of procedure,and what i would like is to see updated in every cycle the content of the label....
How can I do?
I think it's a problem between my form and the ui thread?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

The reason you're not seeing anything is because your Thread.Sleeps are locking the UI thread. If you want to see the labels, simply wrap the loop up like this:

Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
  for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
  {
    Message = string.Format("Tested {0} of {1}", i, 1000);
    Thread.Sleep(10);
  }
});

The sleep is necessary?

Only if you want to pause your thread long enough to actually see the update. If you remove it, you'll flood the UI with notifications.

I have tried but unfortunately using task don't solve my problem...
Because my code is a little bit different of what i wrote...

With this code the update of the label start only when all the iterations of the for (for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)) are completed

public partial class frTest : INotifyPropertyChanged
  {
    private string _message;
    public string Message
    {
      private set
      {
        _message = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("Message");
      }
      get
      {
        return _message;
      }
    }

    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName = null)
    {
      PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = PropertyChanged;
      if (handler != null)
      {
        handler(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
      }
    }

    public frTest()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      DataContext = this;
    }

    private void WindowLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      Message = "test";
      txtDevQty.Text = "1000";
      txtDevQty.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
      txtDevQty.IsEnabled = false;
    }

    public void DoSomething()
    {
      var a = 0;

      for (int i = 0; i < 2000000; i++)
      {
        a++;
      }
    }    

    private void BtnNextClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
        {
          DoSomething();

          Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
          {

            try
            {
              for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
              {
                Message = string.Format("Tested {0} of {1}", i, 1000);
                Thread.Sleep(10);
              }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
          });
        }
    }
  }

And what else would you expect it to do? You aren't actually starting to update Message until you have completed the other loop. Just drop your outer loop into the task factory.

Re: INotifyPropertyChanged binding label problem during update in function

I cannot do it because in reality my DoSomething function do some work and start a thread that do some long operations.
For this reason i need to update the label for have a feedback of where is my routine arrived
