Find Related Messages in Outlook 2003 in VSTO C#

[PGS123]

Hi,

I have a sample code here which simply looks for the same email subject and
returns the total of number messages located in a folder. But this code took
noticeably longer time to execute compare to the good old Outlook's "Find All
/ Related Messages" feature. This Outlook's feature returns a list in an
instant without delay while this sample code took at least 2 or more seconds
to return just a number.

==================== begin ==================
private int FindEmailsWithSameSubject(string EmailSubject)
{
int MessageFound = 0;

// The following two variables are declared
// private Outlook.Application App;
// private Outlook.Explorer CurrentExplorer;
// and defined globally in the main class:
// App = new Outlook.Application();
// CurrentExplorer = App.ActiveExplorer();

Outlook.MAPIFolder SelectedFolder = CurrentExplorer.CurrentFolder;

foreach (Object SelectedObject in SelectedFolder.Items)
{
// Only work on messages which are email items.
if (SelectedObject is Outlook.MailItem)
{
Outlook.MailItem MailItem = SelectedObject as Outlook.MailItem;
if (EmailSubject == MailItem.Subject)
{
++MessageFound;
}
}
}
return MessageFound;
}
==================== end ==================

This code is executed on an inbox with just 190 messages. Questions:

1) Why this code take a longer time to run?
2) Is there a better way to find all related messages?

Thanks a lot.
Robin

Hi Emily,

Ok. Thanks for the info. I also found out another place
(microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins) to try while reading some other
postings earlier. I will repost this there but if anyone here can shed some
light on this matter it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
Robin

I have a sample code here which simply looks for the same email

subject and returns the total of number messages located in a folder.

I'd try the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba ng, or the http://www.outlookcode.com
forums. Not much dev support round here, sorry.
