Outlook 2003 & DASL

[Crash]

I am having a tough time finding documentation on DASL! 1) What the
heck does DASL stand for - I can't even find any documentation on that?
Anyway, I would like to integrate a DASL query into my C# program, in
effect I would like:

"select all appointments on my calendar from xx/xx/xx to xx/xx/xx"

Can I do a query like this using DASL? If so can anybody help me out
with a starting example? Do I integrate it into my C# program using
Application.AdvancedSearch() or how might C# code look?

Many questions, hard to find answers, any help greatly appreciated...

DASL = DAV Searching and Locating (3rd link on a Google search for: DASL Outlook)

Have you read the MSDN article on AdvancedSearch? It pretty much spells it out.

You can see sample DASL search queries on the SQL tab in the Filter dialog for any Outlook view. Just set up the filter in the other tabs of the dialog, then look on the SQL tab to see it in DASL.

One reason that you may be finding it hard to locate answers is that you're looking in the wrong newsgroup. There is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
