Re: Reading subject() from meeting item (Outlook2003)
the problem is though, I can't seem to use the inspector keyword in
the class that it's required in. My project uses 2 class files in a
single solution called Xconnect. The Inspectors are defined in a class
called connect.cs, and where I need to check them is in a class called
XMeeting.cs. Every time I use the Inspector keyword in XMeeting.cs
it'sthrowing up the following error.
'XConnect.XMeetingItem' does not contain a definition for 'Inspector'
Racking my brains trying to think of a solution to this one but to no
avail.

Re: Reading subject() from meeting item (Outlook2003)
Ok, I replied earlier, but its not showing up, so i'll restate my
problem.
My Solution file (XConnect) contains 2 class files, Connect.cs and
XMetting.cs.
Connect.cs contains the definitions for the Inspector wrapper and all
the inspector setting up is done in there.
Xmeeting.cs contains the method that I need to access the Inspector
from. Problem is, everytime i try and reference the inspector from
XMeeting.cs, I get the following error
'XConnect.XMeetingItem' does not contain a definition for 'Inspector'
This is the problem i'm stuck with for the tiem being. :(

Re: Reading subject() from meeting item (Outlook2003)
So create a public property in the Connect class that returns the Inspector
object. Not much of a problem.
// in Connection:
private Outlook.Inspector _inspector;
public Outlook.Inspector Inspector
{
get
{
return _inspector;
}
}
// from the other class:
Outlook.Inspector myInspector = Connect.Inspector;
You could also pass an Inspector object to the other class in the class's
constructor code, and there are any number of other ways to do what you
want.
