Hey,
I'm trying to list the To-Do Folder in Outlook into a ListBox in C# WinForm. I'm using the default folder olFolderToDo, but can't cast the items in it to a suitable cast.
When I use the Tasks Folder, I cast into Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._TaskItem, but it doesn't work in the ToDo folder and I can't find anything that would.

Would like to receive some hint :)

Thanks and a great day,
Roman
 
BomberMan2K,

Can you post your code?

What is not working? the assignment? or something else?

First thoughts are the listbox needs to know what text to display in the list, the listbox checks the DisplayMember property to see if that is set to the name of a property from the assigned object (when using a Datasource) or Listbox calls .ToString method of the assigned object. You could try setting DisplayMemeber to "Subject"

the TaskItem doesnt have .ToString, so maybe there's the problem. Maybe casting to Object will give this.
