I am trying to add appointments to the outlook calendar from vb.net application.
I managed to do this using Microsoft.Office.Interoplibrary, it worked fine on my local machine, but when I published the files , it's started breaking. I don't have outlook on the server and my system admin doesn't want to install it.

Now I have to find a different way and I came across Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices API, But I am so confused to understand. I used it and working locally but I am confused, How to set up on the server and if I don't have outlook on the server, what are the credentials I will use.

Please some one explain me in normal terms, the msdn articles don't help.

Thanks.

I want to add a functionality to my application to sync calendar to outlook and vice versa. Is it possible to do so ?

If i added an appointment or an event to a particular date to the calendar in my application it should automatically be added to my outlook account's calendar which I have logged in through the same machine or device and it should display the same event in my outlook account's calendar whenever i opened the outlook application.

I am trying this in c# I think your solution could help me.

It works the same as on your local machine. The difference being is that your system admin has to install the Exchange WebServices API on the server.
