This might be a short lived question.
When creating an Appointment object with Exchange Web Service - is it possible to disable the Repsonse Options: Accept / Decline / Tentative?
Essentially, an appointment needs to be set in the recipient calendar and not be "actionable".
The AllowedResponseActions property is readonly but I was hoping there was a way of setting that property when creating the Appointment.
Not sure if this is possible - I have searched for a while but I could not find an answer.
Thanks in advance.
According to my research, I didn't find any API for your needs. However, I'm not sure if you use the PidTagResponseRequested extended property to disable the Response Options. Please refer to the following code:
Appointment appointment = new Appointment(service);
appointment.Subject = "TestApt";
appointment.Start = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
appointment.End = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagResponseRequested = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x0063, MapiPropertyType.Boolean);
appointment.SetExtendedProperty(PidTagResponseRequested, false);
appointment.Save();
appointment.RequiredAttendees.Add("user#domain.com");
appointment.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite, SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendOnlyToChanged);
Reference link: Create an appointment using C# & EWS and set "Response Options"
Also, use group policy to disable the tentative response option

Im using EWS to update exchange appointments but sometimes I can't update them after they are created. I'm receiving:
"At least one recipient isn't valid., A message can't be sent because it contains no recipients."
The code is essentially:
Appointment appointment = getAppointment();
... set some properties
appointment.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite, SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone);
Isn't that supposed to work? Beforehand I didn't use the SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone enum, but even with that I get the same exception.
It's never a problem to create the appointment, it's always the updates that we are having problems with.
For the sake of the log, I send a solution here. I managed to solve it with a workaround. It accepts it if I add a new item to the OptionalAttendees collection, when it is empty. Since I add the SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone flag, it will send nothing, but finally accepts it without an exception.
if (EWSItem.OptionalAttendees.Count == 0)
EWSItem.OptionalAttendees.Add("me#me.com");
EWSItem.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AlwaysOverwrite,
SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone);
Today I wanted to greet the user in my app by name, but I did not manage to get it.
I found System.User, but lacking some examples I did not manage to get the info I needed. I saw no possibility to get the current user (id) to call User.GetFromId().
Can you guide me into the right direction? Have I been on the wrong path?
Okay, So first things first, getting access to a user's personal information is a privilege you have to request, so in your store app's Package.appxmanifest, you'll need to enable the User Account Information capability in the Capabilities tab.
Next, you'll want to be using the Windows.System.User class, not the System.User (System.User isn't available to Windows store apps, which you appear to be discussing given the tags you provided for your question)
Third, you'll want to request personal information like this.
IReadOnlyList<User> users = await User.FindAllAsync(UserType.LocalUser, UserAuthenticationStatus.LocallyAuthenticated);
User user = users.FirstOrDefault();
if (user != null)
{
String[] desiredProperties = new String[]
{
KnownUserProperties.FirstName,
KnownUserProperties.LastName,
KnownUserProperties.ProviderName,
KnownUserProperties.AccountName,
KnownUserProperties.GuestHost,
KnownUserProperties.PrincipalName,
KnownUserProperties.DomainName,
KnownUserProperties.SessionInitiationProtocolUri,
};
IPropertySet values = await user.GetPropertiesAsync(desiredProperties);
foreach (String property in desiredProperties)
{
string result;
result = property + ": " + values[property] + "\n";
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
}
When you call GetPropertiesAsync, your user will get a permission prompt from the system asking them if they want to give you access to that. If they answer 'No', you'll get an empty user object (but you'll still get a unique token you can use to distinguish that user if they use the app again).
If they answer yes, you'll be able to get access to the properties below, and various others.
See the UserInfo Sample Microsoft provided for more examples.
Goal: to update a Fusion Table by replacing old rows by new ones from a csv file without headers using ReplaceRows().
I am using the Google.Apis.Fusiontables.v2 library.
I have read and reread the documentation, but still can`t get my code working.
Authentication is working and I am able to perform simple INSERTs without issue:
string sql = "INSERT INTO 11t9VLt3vzb46oGQMaS2LTSPWUyBYNcfi1shkmvag (rpu_id, NO_BAIL, 'Usage (description)', 'Use (description)', 'Sup. louable m2', 'Sup. Utilisable m2', 'SumTotal Lou', 'Percent Lou', 'SumTotal Util', 'Percent Util') VALUES (9999,1111,'Test','Test En',1,2,3,4,5,6)"
Sqlresponse sqlRspnse = service.Query.Sql(sql).Execute();
I have tried ReplaceRowsMediaUpload and ReplaceRowsMediaUpload directly from the TableResource class without luck.
Calling the upload function from the service object doesn't error out, but I'm not sure what to do next that would actually replace the rows in the Fusion Table (service is a FusiontablesService):
StreamReader str = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~") + #"\sample2.csv");
service.Table.ReplaceRows("1X7JMLFy75uq20UnU6cLrGTTDfp6lLuD1Fc3vYYjQ", str.BaseStream, "text/csv").Upload();
I've tried:
service.Table.ReplaceRows("1X7JMLFy75uq20UnU6cLrGTTDfp6lLuD1Fc3vYYjQ").Execute()
following the upload, but this just puts the Fusion table in "stuck" mode.
Can someone please provide the lines required to make ReplaceRows work? (Explanations would be appreciated, but aren't necessary!).
You should change "text/csv" for "application/octet-stream". (See accepted MIME type here: https://developers.google.com/fusiontables/docs/v2/reference/table/replaceRows)
StreamReader str = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("~") + #"\sample2.csv");
service.Table.ReplaceRows("1X7JMLFy75uq20UnU6cLrGTTDfp6lLuD1Fc3vYYjQ", str.BaseStream, "application/octet-stream").Upload();
The call to Upload should be enough.
Also, try to create a new table to test it out, to be sure it is setup correctly.
You can use a REST API call to replace a row in your Google Fusion table directly instead of writing methods to do that. Here is an example:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/fusiontables/v2/tables/tableId/replace
Please refer to this document for more details, it has a testing environment tool too.
I am wondering how can I do the following about MS CRM 4.0:
I want to know for a campaign if a contact from a specific marketing list has not replied yet.
The field custom in the campaign response form is a partyfield. CRM doesn’t allow a PartyList field to be queried using a QueryExpression
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Katya
You cannot retrieve activityparty records directly, but you can use them in LinkEntities:
private bool contactHasResponded(Guid idCampaign, Guid idContact)
{
QueryExpression qryCampaignResponses = new QueryExpression("campaignresponse");
qryCampaignResponses.ColumnSet = new AllColumns();
qryCampaignResponses.Criteria = new FilterExpression();
qryCampaignResponses.Criteria.AddCondition("regardingobjectid", ConditionOperator.Equal, idCampaign);
LinkEntity leContact = new LinkEntity("campaignresponse", "activityparty", "activityid", "activityid", JoinOperator.Inner);
leContact.LinkCriteria = new FilterExpression();
leContact.LinkCriteria.AddCondition("partyid", ConditionOperator.Equal, idContact);
qryCampaignResponses.LinkEntities.Add(leContact);
List<gcCampaignresponse> lstCampaignResponses = gcCampaignresponse.RetrieveMultiple(m_svcCrm, qryCampaignResponses);
return (lstCampaignResponses.Count > 0);
}
This will tell you whether there's a campaign response for a given campaign and contact. (I use entity classes generated by Stunnware Tools, so the RetrieveMultiple call looks a little different, but I think you get my point).
If you turn this QueryExpression/LinkEntity construct upside down, you can also get all contacts that have responded to a given campaign (you can also restrict that to contacts in a certain marketing list through a second LinkEntity).
The only thing that's not possible directly with a single query is the "negative" check you are looking for, so you'll have to take this result and do an "outer join" against your marketing list to get the contacts that have not responded.
I need to retrieve calendar information by invoking the Exchange Web Service in BPOS. I'm using a CalendarView with a PropertySet to retrieve as little data as possible. However, property sets seems to be limited. I need the EmailAddress of the one who made the calendar appointment so I thought I could use the AppointmentSchema.Organizer in the PropertySet.
When fetching a whole appointment I can get the e-mail through appt.Organizer.EmailAddress. But with the code below the Organizer.EmailAddress is always null. I've enabled the trace and checked it and only the Organizer.Name property is sent, nothing else. Does anyone have a solution on how to get the EmailAddress when using a PropertySet?
CalendarView view = new CalendarView(dtFrom, dtTo);
view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(ItemSchema.Subject);
view.PropertySet.Add(ItemSchema.Id);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.Start);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.End);
view.PropertySet.Add(AppointmentSchema.Organizer); // This should contain EmailAddress but it doesn't
Mailbox mailbox = new Mailbox("myemail#test.ab");
FolderId id = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, mailbox);
CalendarFolder folder = CalendarFolder.Bind(service, id);
FindItemsResults<Appointment> findResults = folder.FindAppointments(view);
This should work (does for me):
service.FindAppointments(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, new CalendarView(start, end)).Where(s => DateTime.Now < s.Start);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(appointments, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
As best as I have been able to figure out EWS is a little buggy when it comes to populating the full EmailAddress details both in Appointments for Organizer and for other things like "EmailMessage.From". When you do a query for multiple items, you don't get the EmailAddress properties being fully populated. E.g. using APIs like:
Folder.FindItems
ExchangeService.FindAppointments
I find that only the display name in the EmailAddress fields gets populated.
To get the EmailAddress fully populated I find I need to load/bind to the specific item and specify the relevant EmailAddress property, e.g. AppointmentSchema.Organizer in your case. So although you specify exactly the same property to load, you are loading using a single item call rather than a bulk query. E.g. using:
ServiceObject.Load
Which is available for both Appointment and EmailMessage as they both derive off ServiceObject. Using Item.Bind with the appropriate property set defined should also work.
As an aside I figured this out looking at the code for EwsEditor which is mentioned here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/webdav_101/archive/2009/11/10/ews-has-more-happy-now-ews-managed-api-and-ewseditor.aspx
The usability of EwsEditor is fairly sucky, and the code takes some trawling to figure out, but at least it does show examples of exercising many of the APIs.
service.FindAppointments(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, new CalendarView(start, end)).Where(s => DateTime.Now < s.Start);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(appointments, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
It worked for me.
