Question

How to access “Offline Address Book” (from exchange server/outlook configured to exchange machine) using Redemption dll (C#).

I am looking for some sample code to proceed with my task.

Answer 1

Try this. I am using Redemption 4.6. I created a form and added a DataGridView for result viewing purpose. Here is my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TestingJojoWinForms
{
public partial class frmRedemption : Form
{
    public frmRedemption()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void frmRedemption_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable dtResult = new DataTable("Result");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("EntryID");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("FirstName");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("LastName");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("Alias");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("SMTPAddress");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("JobTitle");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("Address");
        dtResult.Columns.Add("StreetAddress");

        Redemption.RDOSessionClass session = new Redemption.RDOSessionClass();
        session.Logon(@"your_account_name", "your_password", false, false, 0, false);
        for(int index = 1; index <= session.AddressBook.GAL.AddressEntries.Count; index++) 
        {
            Redemption.RDOAddressEntryClass entry = (Redemption.RDOAddressEntryClass)session.AddressBook.GAL.AddressEntries.Item(index);
            dtResult.Rows.Add(entry.EntryID, entry.FirstName, entry.LastName, entry.Alias, entry.SMTPAddress, entry.JobTitle, entry.Address, entry.StreetAddress);
        }
        session.Logoff();

        this.dataGridView1.DataSource = dtResult;
    }


}
}

The result will be like this:
