I am initializing a custom property in ADXOLXtraInfo_ADXAfterFormShow, and saving the user propery with values in ADXAfterFormHide.


Outlook.UserProperty customUserProperty;

private void LoadCustomProperties()
{

customUserProperty = OLMailItem.UserProperties.Item("SPCustomProperty");
if (customUserProperty == null)
{
customUserProperty = OLMailItem.UserProperties.Add("SPCustomProperty", Outlook.OlUserPropertyType.olText, false, string.Empty);
}
}

In the AfterHide event I am saving the property

private void ADXOLXtraInfo_ADXAfterFormHide(object sender, ADXAfterFormHideEventArgs e)
{

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();


if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(cbxCommSignal.Text))
{
sb.Append(cbxCommSignal.Text.Trim());
sb.Append(",");
}

string customValues = sb.ToString();

// seeing the exception here , when assigning the values

OLMailItem.UserProperties.Item("SPCustomProperty").Value = customValues;
mail.Save();


}

The string customValues are being populated correctly .

The error is " The item has been moved or deleted " https://ctrl.vi/i/4rG2VleLW


Thank you

Hello Sujay,



Try to turn off all other controls and check whether the issue is reproducible.

Your code creates a number of COM objects and leaves them unreleased. OLMailItem.UserProperties.Item("SPCustomProperty") chains COM calls and it is recommended that you don't do this. Note that you get OLMailItem.UserProperties.Item("SPCustomProperty") while you already have Outlook.UserProperty customUserProperty holding that COM object.

You create a UserProperty and this modifies the Outlook item. Does your code or the user save the item after all? Does the user or the code close the item? What causes ADXAfterFormHide?

Hello Andrei ,

Sorry for the very late reply.I was not well for a couple of months .

I solved the issue . The AfterShow event is fired afer ItemSend, and therefore I was seeing the exception . I have another issue shall post a new topic.
