Scot Hillier is blogging!

OK, so he was doing it before on the APress blog, but nice to see he's got his own dedicated space with a reliable RSS feed. Scot is the author of Microsoft SharePoint: Building Office 2007 Solutions in C# 2005. Love this book... and if you're looking to setup a SharePoint virtual/physical development environment, look no further than chapter 2. I subscribe to Scot's process and think those 30+ pages on the subject in chapter 2 is worth the cost of the book.

Oh yeah... back to his blog: http://scothillier.spaces.live.com

Hi Scott,
how can we send a meeting request through sharepoint? We used Outlook object model code in a web part which is like this.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem mtg = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem)outLookApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olAppointmentItem);
mtg.MeetingStatus = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlMeetingStatus.olMeeting;
mtg.Location = "Meeting Room";
mtg.RequiredAttendees = "xyz@xyz.com";
mtg.Subject = "SharePoint meeting";
mtg.Start = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10);
mtg.Duration = 60;
mtg.Body = "This is just a test meeting from C#";
mtg.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60;
mtg.ReminderSet = true;
mtg.Send();

As soon as the send method is excuted we get ERROR: "Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))"

any help is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Nischal.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry I couldn't pick who is exactly blogging here. Can you please help me with an idea how I can proceed further.
When I use the above code in ASP.net web site I am able to send the appointment request but when I try to use the same code in sharepoint i get "Operation aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT))" error.
Is there any other way i can send an appointment request through SharePoint.

regards,
Nischal.
