outlook Addin Contact Details for Sender - outlook-addin

I am developing code for capturing photo/picture for the recipient, while sending an email in the sending even of MS outlook.
Can you please suggest what is the best way to achieve it?
> Outlook.NameSpace outlookNameSpace = this.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder contactsFolder =
outlookNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.
OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);
Outlook.Items contactItems = contactsFolder.Items;
try
{
Outlook.ContactItem contact =
(Outlook.ContactItem)contactItems.
Find(String.Format("[FirstName]='{0}' and "
+ "[LastName]='{1}'", "firstName", "LastName"));
if (contact != null)
{
contact.Display(true);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("The contact information was not found.");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
In the try block, contact is null. Let us know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance

Of course, I very much doubt anybody would have a contact with the first name of "firstName" and last name of "LastName" - that is what your code is searching for.
Extract the sender email address and search for contacts with a matching Email1Address, Email2Address, or Email3Address.

VSTO Outlook How to get the previous AppointmentItem in a chain of AppointmentItems within recurring meetings

I am currently developing an Outlook Addin for AppointmentItem. In case the AppointmentItem is a member of a recurring meeting "chain" I want to retrieve/find the AppointmentItem which is the previous meeting. How can I do that?
I figured out the following part-solution:
Outlook.AppointmentItem item = (Outlook.AppointmentItem)inspector.CurrentItem;
if (item.IsRecurring) {
Outlook.RecurrencePattern pattern = item.GetRecurrencePattern();
Outlook.OlRecurrenceType occurenceType = pattern.RecurrenceType;
int dayFactor = 0;
switch (occurenceType) {
case Outlook.OlRecurrenceType.olRecursDaily:
dayFactor = 1;
break;
case Outlook.OlRecurrenceType.olRecursWeekly:
default:
dayFactor = 7;
break;
// TODO handly all other cases of RecurrenceType
}
Outlook.AppointmentItem lastItem = pattern.GetOccurrence(item.StartInStartTimeZone.AddDays(-1*pattern.Interval*dayFactor));
But this handles only very few "easy" cases.
Especially when it comes to calculate e.g. every first tuesday per month it gets too tricky for me. Any input? This code sample might be usefull, too: http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1414
In fact I found an answer which is a little bit inefficient but very powerfull as you don't have to care about any recurring rules outlook may have. First any recurring rule does not change the time of the occurence meaning that recurring appointments take place at the very same point in time during the day. Second
GetOcurrences(DateTime)
throws an exception if there is no AppointmentItem at the given DateTime.
And finally the RecurrencePattern gives you the
PatternStartDate
So all what you need to do is check each and every day backwards, beginning at the given AppointmentItem and ending at PatternStartDate.
This is my implementation which of course can be written better, but it works well:
if (myAppointment.IsRecurring)
{
Outlook.RecurrencePattern pattern = myAppointment.GetRecurrencePattern();
bool doContinue = true;
Outlook.AppointmentItem lastAppointmentItem = null ;
int currentDay = -1;
while (doContinue) {
try
{
DateTime currentDate = myAppointment.StartInStartTimeZone.AddDays(currentDay);
if (currentDate < pattern.PatternStartDate)
{
doContinue = false;
lastAppointmentItem = null;
}
else
{
lastAppointmentItem = pattern.GetOccurrence(currentDate);
if (lastAppointmentItem != null)
{
doContinue = false;
}
else
{
currentDay -= 1;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
currentDay -= 1;
}
}
....
The same approach can be used to create an Array of all Orccurences. It'll take some time to calculate all and I don't know how to handle open ended series. But that was not the question for this stackoverflow item.
Not easily. You'd need to expand the series explicitly in your code taking into account the recurrence pattern and the exceptions or you can try all suspect dates until GetOccurrence succeeds.
If using Redemption (I am its author) is an option, its version of RDORecurrencePattern.GetOccurrence method allow to pass an integer index (besides the date a-la OOM) as a parameter, so you can build an array of occurrences.

JarowinklerDistance in lucene is returning strange results

I have a file containing some phrases. Using jarowinkler by lucene, it is supposed to get me the most similar phrases of my input from that file.
Here is an example of my problem.
We have a file containing:
//phrases.txt
this is goodd
this is good
this is god
If my input is this is good, it is supposed to get me 'this is good' from the file first, since the similarity score here is the biggest (1). But for some reason, it returns: "this is goodd" and "this is god" only!
Here is my code:
try {
SpellChecker spellChecker = new SpellChecker(new RAMDirectory(), new JaroWinklerDistance());
Dictionary dictionary = new PlainTextDictionary(new File("src/main/resources/words.txt").toPath());
IndexWriterConfig iwc=new IndexWriterConfig(new ShingleAnalyzerWrapper());
spellChecker.indexDictionary(dictionary,iwc,false);
String wordForSuggestions = "this is good";
int suggestionsNumber = 5;
String[] suggestions = spellChecker.suggestSimilar(wordForSuggestions, suggestionsNumber,0.8f);
if (suggestions!=null && suggestions.length>0) {
for (String word : suggestions) {
System.out.println("Did you mean:" + word);
}
}
else {
System.out.println("No suggestions found for word:"+wordForSuggestions);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
suggestSimilar won't provide suggestions which are identical to the input. To quote the source code:
// don't suggest a word for itself, that would be silly
If you want to know whether wordForSuggestions is in the dictionary, use the exist method:
if (spellChecker.exist(wordForSuggestions)) {
//do what you want for an, apparently, correctly spelled word
}

Example Program to insert a row using BAPI with JCO3

I am trying to "insert" (or) "add a row" to Purchase Requisition using standard BAPI (PurchaseRequisition.CreateFromData).
I am using JCo3. The example in JCo3 indicates that we should use table.appendRow() OR table.insertRow() methods. I am trying with table.appendRow() & table.appendRows(1). When i try to insert a row, i dont get any error and the row is not inserted.
Below is the program i am trying to execute.
/** Below are the inputs required for this program to run /

String BAPI_NAME = "BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE";

I did not understand how to read the response and am trying to fetch it from exportParameters!!
Can anybody share a piece of code to insert and
getting confirmation response (do we get the PREQ_NO in response?)
I am adding date field value as "20131101", but not sure if the format and approach is right?
when i try to add Quantity column value, i get an error message complaining this column is not part of BAPIEBANC. But the column is visible in BAPIEBANC type.
any configuration on SAP side to be checked?
should i activate any fields in JCo side? if so, how
Please note that my knowledge on SAP is very limited.
Waiting for an expert's response.
Thanks.
First, you should take a look at SAP JCo documentation, e.g.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/1bd5c6a85b11d6b28500508b5d5211/content.htm
Regarding your code:
Adding (one) row to the table looks right on first sight.
Your code says QUANITY instead of QUANTITY.
You should add date values as java.util.Date; if creating a Date from a String format, you should use java.text.DateFormat.parse(). See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Date.html (this is however Java specific and has nothing to do with JCo).
If changing anything in SAP, never forget to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT in the end to finish the logical unit of work (aka transaction) or nothing will actually be changed.
If you don't like to fiddle with the more or less complicated and verbose JCo API, try using Hibersap which gives you a much nicer programming model when calling functions in SAP ERP: http://hibersap.org.
However, you will still need a basic understanding on how SAP function modules work technically (such as parameter types or data types) as well as on the domain specific model which lies behind them (in your case, creating a requisition). I.e. you may need to communicate with your SAP experts.
Here I added 2 types of insertion :
insertval() function for user defined module resides in sap with the help of abap programmer
Its an standard module for insert a ticket using jco to SOLMAN system. First you have to analyse import, export, table & structure parameters, and according to that you have to pass values and retrieve response. In second function it will return ticket n° after successfull insertion of ticket in solman.
I hope this sample code will help you, it worked for me.

How to obtain a Motorola (Symbol) Mobile Device Serial Number?

How to obtain a Motorola (Symbol) Mobile Device Serial Number?
I'm programming the Motorola ES400 which comes with "Symbol" libraries.
There seems to be ways of getting the serial numbers of the various scanners, but not of the actual device itself!
Anyone got any ideas?
Whats the difference between "serial number" (as shown on the device) and "electronic serial number" returned by TerminalInfo?
I just dealt with this on the MC9090 device, which also uses the Symbol libraries (not sure if they are the same, but this is worth a shot). I used reflection because I have devices from different manufacturers and want the same code to run. You could access this field directly from the property or use reflection:
Here is where the property is:
Symbol.ResourceCoordination.Terminalinfo.ESN
Here is my method using reflection:
try
{
Assembly symbolApi = Assembly.LoadFrom("Symbol.ResourceCoordination.dll");
Type terminalInfo = null;
foreach (Type t in symbolApi.GetTypes())
{
if (t.Name == "TerminalInfo")
{
terminalInfo = t;
break;
}
}
LogService.log(terminalInfo.Name);
if (terminalInfo != null)
{
object objTerminalInfo = Activator.CreateInstance(terminalInfo);
PropertyInfo esn = null;
foreach (PropertyInfo info in terminalInfo.GetProperties())
{
if (info.Name == "ESN")
{
esn = info;
break;
}
}
if (esn != null)
{
object objSn = esn.GetValue(objTerminalInfo, null);
sn = objSn.ToString();
}
}
else
LogService.log("TerminalInfo type not found in " + symbolApi.FullName);
}
catch (MissingFieldException e)
{
LogService.log("MissingFieldException, not Symbol Unit: " + e.Message);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
LogService.log("Error in SymbolAPI: " + e.Message);
}
Hope this helps!
Thats fantatic, thanks. The Symbol SDK help didn't find this when searching!
Just used:
Symbol.ResourceCoordination.TerminalInfo Version = new Symbol.ResourceCoordination.TerminalInfo();
return Version.ESN;
Also found this:
Symbol.ResourceCoordination.TerminalInfo Version = new Symbol.ResourceCoordination.TerminalInfo();
System.Text.StringBuilder MyUUID = new StringBuilder("0x") ;
if (Version.UniqueUnitID != null)
{
//this code is actually from the Motorola SDK guid
foreach (byte b in Version.UniqueUnitID)
MyUUID.Append(b.ToString("X2"));
}
return MyUUID.ToString();
Here's the quick and easy VB.Net solution:
Add a reference to Symbol.ResourceCoordination.dll (I found mine here: C:\Program Files\Motorola EMDK for .NET\v2.8\SDK\Smart Devices\Symbol.ResourceCoordination.dll).
Then use the following code to access the ESN (Electronic Serial Number) value.
Dim Version As New Symbol.ResourceCoordination.TerminalInfo
MsgBox(Version.ESN)
Worked great on our MC3190S scanners! :)

Unable to update a list item from a workflow task in C#

I am not getting any exceptions, but the code below is simply not working. Any ideas?
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() {
using (SPWeb web = this.workflowProperties.Web) {
try {
SPListItem item = web.Lists["NewHireFormsLibrary"].Items[workflowProperties.ItemId - 1];
item["Field 1"] = "Gotcha!!!";
item.Update();
LogHistory("Information", "Workflow indexing complete. " + item["Field 1"], "");
}
catch (Exception ex) {
LogHistory("Error", ex.Message, ex.StackTrace);
}
}
)};
It looks like you are not referencing the field by it's Internal Name, which is how you have to reference fields when accessing them with the SPListItem's indexer. Try something like
item["Field_x0020_1"] = "Gotcha!!!";
and it should work. Note that Internal names never contain spaces and are replaced by their hex character string like above.
