Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to check a meeting is really stored in Exchange (can be queried with EWS with it's latest status):
I create/update the meeting in OL, then send it. Is there any flag or an event triggered after it's synchronized with Exchange ?

Thanks,

Hello Rina,

It is possible to find out if any given item is stored in an Exchange store; the item's Parent property returns a MAPIFolder object - you need to check MAPIFolder.Store.

There's no way to find if the item's properties are in sync with the store. I believe synchronization occurs when you (or Outlook) start the Send/Receive process. If so, you can find when the synchronization starts/finishes by intercepting the SyncStart, SyncStop, SyncProgress and SyncError events. In Add-in Express, you find these events in the ADXOutlookAppEvents component. Note however that for these events to work, you need to adjust the ADXOutlookAppEvents.HandleEvents property: select the ADXOutlookAppEvents component at design time and look into the Properties window. By default, these events are disconnected due to the issue we described in https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/7a20664c-7650-4d61-9d5f-13f1d929a8cd/outlook-2013-automatic-sendreceive-doesnt-work-with-the-sample-addin-below?forum=outlookdev.

Hi Andrei,
Looks like those events SyncStart, SyncProgress, SyncEnd,... are only triggered when the a user click on "Send/Receive All Folders".
I want to know when exactly a meeting is in exchange after a creation/update so i can request it through EWS with its latest metadata?

The first option MAPIFolder.Store works only for creation but not for update (the meeting is already in Exchange)

Thanks,

I don't think this is possible to do. I suggest that you ask this question on the Outlook for Developers forum at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=outlookdev.
