I have read several posts and got a solution that use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook to work to create a task in Outlook. Here is the code that will create a task in outlook for my user.
public void CreateOutlookTask()
{
Application outlookApp = new Application();
TaskItem oTask = outlookApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olTaskItem);
Inspector oInspector = oTask.GetInspector;
oTask.Subject = "This is my task subject";
oTask.DueDate = Convert.ToDateTime("06/25/2011");
oTask.StartDate = Convert.ToDateTime("06/20/2011");
oTask.ReminderSet = true;
oTask.ReminderTime = Convert.ToDateTime("06/28/2006 02:40:00 PM");
oTask.Body = "This is the task body";
oTask.Status =OlTaskStatus.olTaskInProgress;
oTask.Save();
}
I still have two issues with the above code.
1) It will only create tasks for the user that is running the application. I hope to create tasks from a web app, so I need to be able to log into each users account because the web app will not have an outlook account.
2) Using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook requires that outlook is installed. I would really like a solution that doesn't require outlook to be installed on the machine, but haven't found one.
Any help on the above two issues would be greatly appreciated.
