How to do address lookup in c#

Hi,

I am trying to find out in c# to do a lookup of a typed address like "John smith" on the global address list and return a recipient. I know there is a c++ method called "HrGWResolveAddress". How can I get access to this method? Which dll do I have to use? Or is there an easier way.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

I think you should use the Mapi32.dll. You can find rich information about Microsoft MAPI in the MSDN. To import functions from Mapi32.dll you should use DllImport attribute in C#.
For example:
[DllImport("MAPI32.DLL", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, EntryPoint="HrGetOneProp@12")]
public static extern void HrGetOneProp(IntPtr pmp, uint ulPropTag, out IntPtr ppProp);

[DllImport("MAPI32.DLL", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi, EntryPoint="MAPIFreeBuffer@4")]
public static extern void MAPIFreeBuffer(IntPtr lpBuffer);

Sorry, I couldn't respond faster. I can't find the right call in MAPI32. Can you tell me which one it is?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob.

The method HrGWResolveAddress is a wrapper around some functions in MAPI.
You should use the IAddrBook::PrepareRecipients and IABContainer::ResolveNames methods from MAPI. You can see more detailed information here
