Has anyone got any experience using Redemption to access the Outlook address book?

There seem to be lots of articles on using VB but trying the same approach in C# simply doesn't work

I'm wanting to walk through the entries in the address book to see if they are the sender, spam filter type stuff.

Currently I'm trying this:-

Type t = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("myRedemption.myRDOSession");
Redemption.RDOSession mySession = (Redemption.RDOSession) Activator.CreateInstance(t);
mySession.Logon(oMissing,oMissing,oMissing,oMissing,oMissing,oMissing);
if (mySession.AddressBook.AddressLists(false).Count > 0)
{
etc etc etc
}

On entering the if statement I get an Object Exception on mySession and I can't see why.

Anyone?

Can't it be done through the Outlook Object Model? I believe the Outlook Object Model exposes a Contacts Interface.

Hope this helps... Smile | :)

It can but you get the security message so it isn't suitable.

Thanks though,

Is that the same security message that pops up when an email is sent trough Outlook via code? If yes, then if the original Application object from Onconnection is used, the Security popup doesn't pop up.....

Hash Table in C#

Is there any Hash Table in C# and if yes then how do we use it? How do we add and how do we look up in hash table?

Yes, class Hashtable

<br />
Hashtable hash = new HashTable();<br />
// Adding value.<br />
hash["key"] = 0;<br />
// Getting value.<br />
MessageBox.Show(hash["key"].ToString());<br />

You can also access data through properties "Keys" and "Values".

Best regards, Alexey.

Hi,
yes of course, by using the "Hashtable" class.

Hashtable myHashTable = new Hashtable(); to instantiate a Hashtable object.
myHashTable.Add("theKey", "theValue"); to add an element
myHashTable["theKey"]...; to retrieve a "value" usig its "key"
myHashTable.Keys; to retrieve the Keys Collection property
and myHashTable.Values; to retrieve the Values Collection property

Regards.

By the way, you can look up the hashtable by

Hashtable.Contains()
Hashtable.ContainsKey()
Hashtable.ContainsValue

as well.

Use windows authentication in client/server application

Le Thanh Cong13-Apr-06 20:35

I write a application client/server (windows form). Both client & server run in a Active Directory domain. When client connect to server, server will get IP of client. Base on IP, server check current user logon in client PC, determines if the user has been authenticated by Windows.
At client, I can use System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() to authenticate user but at server, I don't know way authenticate remote user.
In case, what is solution? System.DirectoryService?

Ummm, there's no need to check to see if Windows authenticated the person or not. If the authentication failed, that person would not be logged onto Windows, and therefore, there won't be a user logged on.

All you really need to do is on the client side, pass the clients WindowsIdentity (use GetCurrent), to the server. The server will then have everything it needs to know about the user.

About EndInvoke

I happened to find that in the provided libs of my program, many thread are invoked just by BeginInvoke without callback to do EndInvoke. Waht will happen to a thread in ThreadPool if EndInvoke is not all at all?

Asyncs threads invoked by BeingInvoke are used in my program to send event, many I often enfront the problem that some events seem to heave disappeared in the middle of that thread.

I will add EndInvoke code to all these threads. But I hope that I can get some confirmation befrore doing that.

Thank you !

As I understand it, EndInvoke() is used to obtain the return value of your delegate method. If your delegate method is of type void, a call to EndInvoke() may not be required. if you haven't already, see this[^] article.

Thank you very much.

But I was told that BeginInvoke and EndInvoke should be called in pair, otherwise memory leak may happen in program.
I have checked topics on ThreadPool the other day, and I found that threads invoked by BeginInvoke are not so simple.

Hmm, I don't believe that is correct (but could be wrong). See this[^] MSDN article.

Of cause, I haven't found any such discription in MSDN articles, just on some forum. But the fact is that my program do stop at somethere in the invoked thread (maybe for some other reasons).

As the detail of ThreadPool is not opened completely, now I am considering of writing a ThreadManager of my own, just start a thread by Thread.Start(), if necessary cancel it by Thread.Abort().

In the following artical, it says

CAUTION Always call EndInvoke after your asynchronous call completes.

http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2005/05/16/endinvokerequired[^]

what will happen if EndInvoke is not called?

Thank you!

Rest assured. EndInvoke is ONLYused if your asyncronous method returns something. You call EndInvoke to retrieve that return value, since you can't get the return value in any other way. EndInvoke does not do anything else apart from giving you the return value. If you are not interested in the return value, you do not need to call EndInvoke. I have used BeginInvoke so many times in so many performance critical applications without using EndInvoke, it doesn't create a problem

Thank you for quick reply.

In my case, this is the opposite, it seems to me that the thread invoked by BeginInvoke disappeared half way(only part of the log left). I am not sure whether a background thread will disappear half way if GC.Collect() happens during its process? I am investigating for the reason...

Thank you

delegate.BeginInvoke (creates new thread [from thread-pool]) without delegate.EndInvoke will cause a memory leak.
Control.BeginInvoke ('sends' call to main thread) without Control.EndInvoke is no problem.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
