We are now using Exchange 2010 SP1. Most of the users are using Outlook 2007/2010 but we still have several users using Outlook 2003 because the upgrade will cost a lot. Everything is working well.
My manager asked me to generate a report including all the calendar info of all the users. I need to get the color (category/label) of the appointment items of each user programmatically through EWS.
I have successfully developed the VB.NET code to access Master Category to get appointment color via EWS. The problem is the same method does not work on appointments defined by Outlook 2003. For example:
If a user uses Outlook 2007/2010 and he creates an appointment with 'Red Category', I can get this appointment and get its color (red). The color will be the same in OWA (webmail) either.
But if a user uses Outlook 2003 and he creates an appointment with 'Red label', I cannot get the color of this appointment via EWS through the same method. The color will be synchronized to OWA so I believe there must be some way to get the color.
I also find in Outlook 2007/2010, the color of the appointment is defined as'Category List' but in Outlook 2003 the color is defined as 'Labels' but not the 'Category List'. The 'Category' in Outlook 2003 is NOT color but groups for calendar.
Anyone can help?
Thanks VERY MUCH.
