Version Information
 Version Added:  Outlook 2007

Syntax

expression.GetMemberOfList

expression   A variable that represents an ExchangeUser object.

Return Value
An AddressEntries collection object that represents the Exchange distribution lists to which the ExchangeUser belongs. Returns an AddressEntries collection object with a count of zero (0) if the ExchangeUser is not a member of any Exchange distribution list.

Remarks

GetMemberOfList is an expensive operation in terms of performance if there is a slow connection to Exchange Server.

Example

The following code sample shows how to obtain the names of the Exchange distribution lists to which the manager of the current user belongs. It uses the ExchangeUser object to obtain specific Exchange user information such as the user's Exchange account alias, details about the user's manager, and the distribution lists that the user's manager has joined.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ShowManagerDistLists()
    Dim oAE As Outlook.AddressEntry
    Dim oExUser As Outlook.ExchangeUser
    Dim oDistListEntries As Outlook.AddressEntries
    
    'Obtain the AddressEntry for CurrentUser
    Set oExUser = _
    Application.Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser
    
    'Obtain distribution lists that the user's manager has joined
    Set oDistListEntries = oExUser.GetExchangeUserManager.GetMemberOfList
    For Each oAE In oDistListEntries
        If oAE.AddressEntryUserType = _
            olExchangeDistributionListAddressEntry Then
        Debug.Print (oAE.name)
        End If
    Next
End Sub
