使用 vb.net 在 Outlook 公用文件夹中搜索

Question

Is there a way to search in outlook public folders by using vb.net . I have tried to search all the web and I didn't find.

Answer 1

You are free to use the Restrict or Find / FindNext methods of the Items class. Read more about these methods in the following series of articles:

• How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
• How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder

Also, you may find the AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful. The key benefits of using the AdvancedSearch method in Outlook are:

• The search is performed in another thread. You don't need to run another thread manually since the AdvancedSearch method runs it automatically in the background.
• Possibility to search for any item types: mail, appointment, calendar, notes etc. in any location, ie beyond the scope of a certain folder. The Restrict and Find / FindNext methods can be applied to a particular Items collection (see the Items property of the Folder class in Outlook).
• Full support for DASL queries (custom properties can be used for searching too). You can read more about this in the Filtering article in MSDN. To improve the search performance, Instant Search keywords can be used if Instant Search is enabled for the store (see the IsInstantSearchEnabled property of the Store class).
• You can stop the search process at any moment using the Stop method of the Search class.
