Hi. I've developed some .NET2.0 C# code below that allows me to create eMail messages in Outlook. I am interested in changing some of the read-only properties, such as sender, sent & receive time. My goal is to recreate an old eMail profile from an XML data source. I DO NOT want to send altered eMails.
My code listed below receives a “read-only” error message
Thanks for reading.
Rob
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.NameSpace oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi");
oNS.Logon(Missing.Value, Missing.Value, true, true);
Outlook.MailItem oMsg = (Outlook.MailItem)oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
oMsg.Subject = "Test";
oMsg.HTMLBody = "<title>testtest";
oMsg.To = "Rob Hess<rhess@beringer.net>";
oMsg.ReceivedTime = Convert.ToDateTime("10/10/2004 10:00:00 AM"); //error below
oMsg.SenderEmailAddress = "Support@beringer.net"; //error below
oMsg.SentOn = Convert.ToDateTime("10/10/2004 10:00:00 AM"); //error below
oMsg.Save();
oNS.Logoff();

Error Message:
Error 3 Property or indexer 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem.SentOn' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

I would suggest not using Outlook interop. Look at the System.Web.Mail namespace.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I am not looking to send eMails to a SMTP server. I want to recreate eMails directly in my Outlook profile.
For Example:

I have an XML file created from a 3rd party eMail application:
<to>rhess@beringer.net
<from>support@beringer.net
<received>April 12, 2001 12:12:43
<subject>hello
<message>Test
<folder>Saved

I want to read this info & recreate this eMail in Outlook. It appears that Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook limits me to creating new eMails & either sending them or saving them as a draft. The System.Web.Mail only allows me to send eMail directly to an SMTP server.

Is this even possible?
Thank you for reading.

Hi,

See as the error describes the three properties "ReceivedTime", "SenderEmailAddress " and "SentOn" are readonly. You will not be able to set this. These fields will be get updated automatically when you send this mail.

Can we set the "Overwrite events as needed" property of windows event logs programmatically?

Not sure this is the place, but have a C# app for server 2k3

Re: Not sure this is the place, but have a C# app for server 2k3

22-May-07 1:58

I wrote an application in c#, basically allows reading and editing of an INI file on a Windows 2003 server machine. On my development PC the app runs and works great. I packaged it up and deployed it to a test server and installed. No problems.

Clicking the link to run the app, nothing happens. You double click, get an hourglass for a second, then nothing.

Do I need some kind of permissions change or do I need to somehow sign my app to run on 2k3??

Also if there is a better board to post this here (I didn't see any server specific ones) let me know.

I am guessing that the server you are trying to run it on is not trusted. I wrote an article on this:

Hope that helps.

Ben, this is a very well written article. However, I am not trying to install the app from the server, I am trying to run the installed app ON the server. To be specific I install the app onto the server that hosts the ini files that need to be maintained. Once there our admins will TS over to the server to run this app for editing and verifying the INI files in question.

However, the installed app does not run on the server. It gives no error it just doesn't run. I am sure it is something similar to this but not this exactly.

Can anyone help?

Ok I need to have a better understanding.
It sounds like this is a windows app. Is that true?
If it is a windows app then someone has to be logged on to the server to run the windows app.
So you are saying you are logging or remoting into the server, and trying to run the app, but nothing happens?

I thought you were saying you were doing something like:
\\servername\appfolder\app.exe
If you were doing this the application is running on your PC not the server. Then my article would fix for running an exe from a server on your local PC.

Anyway, if this is something you want to run with no one logged into the server you need to create a windows service. The windows service can be set up to run at a certain time and have certain login to it has the correct rights.

I would guess currently whoever is trying to run the app on the server doesn't have rights to the folder the ini files are in, but that is just a guess.

Ben, this windows app would be running ON the server, not the admins PC.

However, I figured out the problem:

No ASP.NET installed on the server. The sticky part is that I can't install ASP.NET without also installing IIS. That is a violation of policy (this is a file server with SQL databases). So I can't install ASP.NET.

Is this true (I am not a server expert by any stretch)? That I need ASP.NET to execute windows apps.

hello,

i'm trying to cope with a couple of math calculations i need to do within my c# application. i've got two problems: first, i have difficulties translating the vocabulary to english and second, i don't know how to code it in c#.

two things i require:

1. how do I get the root of n?
2. how do I calculate the reciprocal of a number? and what is the reciprocal anyway?

and yes, i've been to school. but this is a long time ago. thanks for your help!

You can use Math.Pow method

Well I believe first you have to find out what reciprocal is and then start coding it. So why don;t you google?

thanks for your help on the first part. ad google: i did. but still, i don't understand what i've found. the explanations are cluttered with different approaches on how to deal with reciprocal - this is why i asked.

to clear things up a little, I'd like to mention, that I'm trying to do what is written here:

"To convert this value to ordinary 'Shutter Speed'; calculate this
value's power of 2, then reciprocal."

i'm just in need of a simple answer of somebody, who shares a household with reciprocal and c# Wink | ;)

Here is the definition of reciprocal: http://www.mathleague.com/help/fractions/fractions.htm#reciprocal

StevenBee22-May-07 2:13

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_%28mathematics%29

1/X so you would take the shutter speed, square it, then divide 1 by it.

CPallini22-May-07 2:18

For reciprocal see here [^].

And of course you don't need Pow to take the square of a number, just multiply it by itself.

Perhaps what you need is:

ShutterSpeed = 1.0/(OriginalValue*OriginalValue);

Please note that some care must be taken when OriginalValue approaches zero...

Maybe wrap it in a

if (OriginalValue != 0)
{
}

test.

Maybe you still got a divide by zero exception!
