Send Meeting Request to Outlook 2007 and Update Calendar


Today, I encountered a very interesting issue of sending the updating the User Outlook calendar with an Event(remember one of those project status meeting mails that PM sends and I bet you HATE it).

One of the Alternatives is to use ICAL dll to send get the work done.
This aricle details out, how this is done.
However, I prefer to use the .net provided feature for implementing this functionality.

When I talk of Microsoft, I am talking about using the Miscosoft.Office.Interop.Outlook dll (obtained by adding reference to the project from COM tab in Visual studio.) 

Once that reference thing is done, the Code demonstrated below is used to send a mail and the recipients’’ calendar is automatically updated for the event.

 
As the code itself is heavily commented, I am not diving into any details here.
In case of any further clarifications, you are always free to write to me.

Hope it was Helpful,

Happy Coding.
