Hi,
I want to extract the calender data (i.e the data of all the shared
calenders)

I am creating an Add-in for Outlook in Vb.net . I need to read the meetings
between a given duration from a shared calendar. I will give the shared
calendar names ( around 20) with time and i need to know which all calendars
and free and which all are busy at that specific time.
I already tried to read the calendars in a loop and its taking a lot of time
to read each calendar.so i wanted to know if there is a faster way of doing
this.

Can anyone let me know where does this data get stored and how to extract
the same.

I am using outlook 2003.

With the Redemption library (www.dimastr.com) you can read the data very
fast. There's a lot of help and code examples on the website. See the
MapiTable object.

In addition to Michael's suggestion, you might want to look at
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=30 for an explanation of the
logic needed to search over a date range. Also, if you need only free/busy
availability information and not the details of appointments, you can use
the Recipient.FreeBusy method.

You might also want to look into RDOFolder2.GetActivitiesForTimeRange
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rd...htm#rdofolder2) and
RDOAddressEntry.FreeBusyList
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rd...dressEntry.htm)
