Hi Andrew.

What application do you mean? Is it our ADX Toys free add-ins?

Hi Andrew.

All ADX Toys examples will be updated as soon as a new ADX version (v2.5)is published.

I tried to port this to VS 2005 / .NET 2 myself as a new project and pull source code over. It appears to work great under Outlook 2003 and even Outlook 2007. I can't get it to run under Outlook 2000. Does the old one run under Outlook 2000?

The problem is when it tries to use the IntPtr to get the string of the header text.

body = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(new IntPtr(propValue.Value));

The propValue.Value is too big to be converted to an int when I test under Outlook 2000. The other versions of Outlook are fine.

Seems strange to me?

Sergey, any reason why you didn't use a C++ shim? I thought that was the way to go if you wanted .NET 1.1 and 2.0 compatibility.

Andrew, the reason is it is just an example. You can add the shim yourself if you wish.
