Outlook.Items types

Question

how can i tell the type of each item in Outlook.Items?

thanks..

Answer 1

depending on language, but usually you should check Class or MessageClass

Answer 2

can u give an example in c#?

Answer 3

usually you care only for specific types on messages , so for example if you want only to process mailitems in Items collection, you should do something like that in c#:

for (int i =1; i<= Items.Count; i++)
{
MailItem mail = Items[i] as MailItem;
if(mail == null)
continue;
// here process mail
}

Answer 4

i tried somthing like this:

for (int i = 1; i <= Items.Count; i++)
{
  if (!(((int)OlObjectClass.olMail).Equals(Items[i].Class)))
  {
      continue;
  }
  //rest of code
}

what's better?

Answer 5

if you need to work with mailitem object anyway so you need to cast anyway, you are just postponing ineviteable.

Answer 6
