Creating and Saving Outlook Tasks

To create and save a task to disc:

  1. Instantiate a new object of the MapiTask class.
  2. Enter task property information.
  3. Save the task to disc in MSG format.

   MapiTask task = new MapiTask("To Do", "Just click and type to add new task", DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddDays(3));

  task.PercentComplete = 20;

  task.EstimatedEffort = 2000;

  task.ActualEffort = 20;

  task.History = MapiTaskHistory.Assigned;

  task.LastUpdate = DateTime.Now;

  task.Users.Owner = "Darius";

  task.Users.LastAssigner = "Harkness";

  task.Users.LastDelegate = "Harkness";

  task.Users.Ownership = MapiTaskOwnership.AssignersCopy;

  task.Companies = new string[] { "company1", "company2", "company3" };

  task.Categories = new string[] { "category1", "category2", "category3" };

  task.Mileage = "Some test mileage";

  task.Billing = "Test billing information";

  task.Users.Delegator = "Test Delegator";

  task.Sensitivity = MapiSensitivity.Personal;

  task.Status = MapiTaskStatus.Complete;

  task.EstimatedEffort = 5;

  task.Save("MapiTask.msg", TaskSaveFormat.Msg);
