How To Retrieve Exception Information of a Recurring Appointment using WebDAV (309699)

MORE INFORMATION

The following sample code retrieves the MIME stream and displays it in the immediate window. You can write additional code to parse the data and retrieve specific information. The exception information is not available through WebDAV as a simple property.

To use the sample code, follow these steps:

1. In Microsoft Visual Basic, create a new Standard EXE project.
2. Add a button to the default form and name it Command1.
3. Paste the following code into the view code window:

   Private Sub Command1_Click()
   'Reference MS XMl 2.0 library to try the following sample code.
   Dim strMime as String
   Dim strURL as String
   
   'Change the strURL below to reflect your recurring appointment.
   strURL=<http://exchangeservername/exchange/user1/calendar/myappt.eml>"
   
   Set xmlReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.xmlhttp")
   'Change the domain name\userID and password to reflect your environment.
   xmlReq.Open "GET", strURL, False, "domainname\userid", "password"
   xmlReq.setRequestHeader "Translate", "f"
   xmlReq.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
   xmlReq.Send
   
   strMime = xmlReq.ResponseText
   Debug.Print strMime
   
   'Display the results.
   If (xmlReq.Status >= 200 And xmlReq.Status < 300) Then
   Debug.Print "Success! " & "Results = " & xmlReq.Status & ": " & xmlReq.statusText
   Debug.Print xmlReq.ResponseText
   Else
   Debug.Print "Request Failed. Results = " & xmlReq.Status & ": " & xmlReq.statusText
   End If
   
   End Sub
