Next problem - "wrong" add method available...

Next problem - "wrong" add method available...

OK, the next problem I have is adding a property.

According to this - 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms527518(EXCHG.10).aspx - there are 
two methods for Fields.Add. Ideally I would want to use the second (Proptag 
and value) as I have these. But only the first is available to me in C#. I'm 
not sure what to fill in though. The Property I am trying to add 
(PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID) doesn't seem to have a "name" - I added this item 
using MFCMapi then squirted out the various fields in my application to see 
what it is set as, and "Name" is empty. I can get the class and the value 
but not sure what the PropSetID would be - there isn't a property on the 
Field object for this, only ID. using "ID", I fed it the below:

_oFields.Add("PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID", 6, 1033, 1072234499);

or

_oFields.Add(""", 6, 1033, 1072234499);

But both give an error of E_INVALIDARG(80070057).


Any idea how I can either feed in the right data (or alternatively access 
the other method)? According to the MFCMAPI screen,  the property tag is 
0x3FE90003, Property ID is 0x3FE9, type is PT_LONG, Property Name is 
PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID (), Named property kind is MNID_ID, and the named 
property guid is {00020328-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} = PS_MAPI.

Ta.

A little further info - I tried this:

_oFields.Add("0x3FE90003", 6, 1033, "0002032800000000C000000000000046");

Doesn't give an error now, which is nice, but equally it doesn't seem to 
have created the property!

Thanks - I acutally sussed that although the IDE and compiler were working 
on the "four parameters" method, I could pass my Property tag directly as 
opposed to a string and 3 reflection missing values. It seemed to then 
interpret this as the two method version... well it works anyways!
