How Do I... in Outlook 2010

This section contains procedural tasks topics and code examples in Visual Basic and C# that demonstrate how to perform some common tasks in Microsoft Outlook.

To run these code examples, you must have installed Microsoft Outlook 2010, the Outlook 2010 Primary Interop Assembly (PIA), and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

The code examples in this section do not require that you have installed Microsoft Office development tools in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. However, you can refer to the Office Development with Visual Studio portal on MSDN for information about using Office development tools in Visual Studio 2010, and refer to Outlook Solutions for some basic how-to tasks written in managed code.

Code examples in this section range from the beginner to the intermediate levels, and some of them are adapted from the book Programming Applications for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

The Microsoft Office Developer Documentation team welcomes your task ideas and code samples. If we use your code samples in Outlook content, we will recognize your work with a byline and a link to your Web site. For more information, contact us at docthis@microsoft.com.
