Hi ,
No body have an idea for the source of the problem ?

Does the count == 0 if you don't use the restriction? BTW, Outlook
collections run from 1 to Count.

In general it's best not to use equality as a test for date/time filters or
restrictions due to possible rounding or other slight differences. It's
usually better to use a range test for any date/time properties. Also, for
properties such as Start or End you should remove the seconds component of
the date/time values.

Hi
I do what's do u tell me , i don't use filter but the count of calendar items it's 0
my question is :
after nouvRDV.Save() ; when i do nouvRDV.Saved i find true ,but it's no present in the Calender folder.

If without a filter the items count in the Calendar folder is 0 and there
are actually items in that folder you have other problems than the filter.
Are you stepping your code and making sure that you aren't hitting a catch{}
block? Do you have valid objects every step of the way, when you get your
appointment item, get the folder, get the Items collection, etc?

yes i do all that , but the problem i think , that we can't automate outlook from an asp.net application , because outlook isn't downloadede in the server web .
now i don't know what s i can do to solve this problem?

 

[Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]]

That's a whole different problem.

Outlook has to run in some user context, not on a server. So your ASP code
would have to run client-side in the context of the logged in user who has
Outlook installed and with their Outlook profile.
