Hello!

I?Â?Ð?éve inherited an older project that utilizes AddinExpress that needs to be updated to .NET 4.5.2.
The project also uses AddinExpress.MAPI.

I?Â?Ð?ém receiving the following exception at runtime when attempting to access fields via AddinExpress.MAPI:
?Â?Ð?ìMixed mode assembly is built against version ?Â?Ð?èv2.0.50727′ of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.?Â?Ð?í


What would be the workaround for this?

Note that I also receive this error when moving the add-in via outlook after it's installed:

Exception Source: Shugo.FileGuardian.Outlook.Addin
Exception Type: System.IO.FileLoadException
Exception Message: Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.

I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give me! Thank you very much!!

Note that I've attempted to add 
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true" />
and various other tips I found in searches in the app.config

Hello Justin,

I've responded to your blog comment with this test:

AddinExpress.MAPI doesn?Â?Ð?ét support .NET 4.X. You need to replace AddinExpress.MAPI calls with equivalent calls of PropertyAccessor object. You get such an object using the PropertyAccessor property available on all Outlook item types (e.g. MailItem) as well as on some non-item classes. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.propertyaccessor.

Thank you very much for your help, Andrei. I will refactor the code to use PropertyAccessor. Should I be referencing a certain Outlook dll from "Add-in Express for .NET\Redistributables\Interop Assemblies" if I wanted to support all versions of Outlook?


For instance, to get a recipient's first name, the following line was used: 

AddInModule.CurrentInstance.MAPIStoreAccessor.GetProperty(m_recipient.AddressEntry, AddinExpress.MAPI.ADXMAPIPropertyTag._PR_GIVEN_NAME)



What dll would I reference to do the equivalent? Is there any chance you might have a code example?

Hello Joos,

No. But PropertyAccessor is only available in Outlook 2007 and above. Also, the use of this object in Outlook 2007 may be somewhat limited.

That means, in Outlook 2003 (and may be in Outlook 2007) you will need to use Extended MAPI; I believe there are some code samples on the forums. Outlook 2010 has a 64 bit version and you'll need to use PropertyAccessor.

Googling for PR_GIVEN_NAME brings you to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/mapi/pidtaggivenname-canonical-property.

Use the Identifier value (which is a 4-hex-symbol string) from that page to construct a correct property tag (which is a 8-hex-symbol string) as described at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/mapi/mapi-property-type-overview; you can google for a correct variant.

Use the property tag to construct the string to use with the PropertyAccessot object; see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/outlook/how-to/navigation/referencing-properties-by-namespace.

I suppose it is possible to use Outlook Spy to get the property tag faster.
