ADPlus from the Debugging Tools can be used to get Crash Dumps and Hang Dumps which would contain the most-needed information for debugging. It used to be a vbscript file which was used to attach the cdb debugger (cdb is a command line debugger). Now ADPLus is a managed code application. Because of this...

No one’s taking my subtle hints about Wikipedia . One more try: It sure would be nice if someone added MFCMAPI to the article about MAPI . The January 2012 Release (build 15.0.0.1030) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . I’m continuing to crunch on the UI overhaul. This release has a ton of fixes for...

I recently found a bug in the December 2011 Release of EWSEditor and just checked in and released an updated build to EWSEditor to fix it.  Here are my bug notes from the check in: “…Bug in ValidationCallbackHelper.CertificateValidationCallBack caused certificate validation to fail always - unless...

What’s an app got to do to get on Wikipedia ? You know I can’t put it there myself – that’s against the rules . The December 2011 Release (build 15.0.0.1030) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . When I started working on the UI overhaul, I knew it was going to take a few releases to get it right. After...

Matt has just announced that EWSEditor has been updated and moved over to Codeplex. Read his announcement here , then go download EWSEditor here . Enjoy!

Recently one of my developer customer migrated from Outlook 2003 to 2010. He tried running the custom application (uses CDO & Outlook 2003) in Outlook 2010. It throws the error “ActiveX component can’t create object”.  Using the following test sample, I can reproduce the exact issue at my end...

We had a customer recently who was using Outlook 2010’s MAPI in their application to talk to the Exchange server. They wanted to enable Kerberos authentication, but were having trouble enabling it programmatically. They had found the property that gets changed when you enable Kerberos authentication...

Download the December 2011 Update of EWSEditor HERE . Over a year has gone by since a public update to EWSEditor on the MSDN Code Gallery but it’s not been forgotten!  The availability and popularity of Office 365 and Exchange Online make Exchange Web Services (and thus EWSEditor) even more relevant...

Still no mention of MFCMAPI on Wikipedia . I had such high hopes. Sigh. The November 2011 Release (build 15.0.0.1029) is live: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com . Note that build number. That’s right. I jumped all the way from 6 (where I’ve been stuck forever) to 15. That’s the sort...

In Outlook 2010, you have a way to check whether the search is synchronous or asynchronous or not. Just created a small code snippet (below) for the reference – you can notice that I just call the application.IsSearchSynchronous() and pass the look in folder which want to try. The path name of the folders...

It’s been a while, but we just shipped a new version of the MAPICDO download . Per tradition, I’ve put together release notes: Installation details: This version is 6.5.8244.0. All of the files in the update are dated October 17th, 2011. If you already have a version of the MAPI Download installed, you...

We have gotten a number of cases lately involving applications using Outlook 2010's MAPI failing when connecting to Exchange 2010 servers. The primary symptom observed by our customers is that random MAPI calls to Exchange return MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED. At first blush, there is no rhyme or reason as to which...

If you look around for it, you’ll find a lot of posts on a 0x81002746 error that you might get from ConfigureMsgService . But no one seems to know what the error really means or why it happens. I thought I’d fill in some details. For starters, this error has nothing to do with WSAECONNRESET, which is...
