How to use the Cdosys.dll library to process mail in the Drop directory by using Visual C#
This article was previously published under Q310224
This article describes how to use Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) for Windows 2000 library (Cdosys.dll) to act on a message. This article describes how to act on a message in Microsoft Visual C# .NET or Microsoft Visual C# 2005.
To act on a message, you can do any one of the following:
- You can click Reply.
- You can click Reply All.
- You can click Forward.
Note The Cdosys.dll library is also known as CDOSYS.
To use CDOSYS to act on a message, follow these steps:
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual C# 2005.
- On the File menu, click New, and then click Project.
- Click Console Application in the Visual C# Projects types list.
Note In Microsoft Visual C# 2005, click Console Application in the Visual C# 2005 list.
In Visual Studio .NET, Class1.cs is created by default. In Visual Studio 2005, Program.cs is created by default. - Add a reference to the Microsoft CDO For Windows 2000 Library.
To do this, follow these steps:- On the Project menu, click Add Reference.
- On the COM tab, click Microsoft CDO For Windows 2000 Library, and then click Select.
Note In Visual Studio 2005, you do not have to click Select. - In the Add References dialog box, click OK to accept your selections.
If you receive a message to generate wrappers for the libraries that you selected, click Yes.
- In the Code window, replace all the code with the following code:
namespace CdoSys
{
using System;
class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
CDO.DropDirectory iDropDir = new CDO.DropDirectory();
CDO.IMessages iMsgs;
CDO.IMessage iMsgReply;
CDO.IMessage iMsgReplyAll;
CDO.IMessage iMsgForward;
// Get the messages from the Drop directory.
iMsgs = iDropDir.GetMessages("C:\\Inetpub\\mailroot\\Drop");
Console.WriteLine("Messages Count : " + iMsgs.Count.ToString());
foreach (CDO.IMessage iMsg in iMsgs)
{
Console.WriteLine(iMsgs.get_FileName(iMsg));
// Output some common properties of the extracted message.
Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + iMsg.Subject);
Console.WriteLine("TextBody: " + iMsg.TextBody);
Console.WriteLine("datereceived: " + iMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived"].Value);
Console.WriteLine("sendername: " + iMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:sendername"].Value);
Console.WriteLine("senderemail: " + iMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:senderemail"].Value);
Console.WriteLine("from: " + iMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:from"].Value);
Console.WriteLine("sender: " + iMsg.Fields["urn:schemas:httpmail:sender"].Value);
// Reply.
iMsgReply = iMsg.Reply();
// TODO: Change "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com" to your e-mail address.
iMsgReply.From = "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com";
iMsgReply.TextBody = "I agree. You can continue." + "\n\n" + iMsgReply.TextBody;
iMsgReply.Send();
// This is ReplyAll.
iMsgReplyAll = iMsg.ReplyAll();
// TODO: Change "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com" to your e-mail address.
iMsgReplyAll.From = "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com";
iMsgReplyAll.TextBody = "I agree. You can continue" + "\n\n" + iMsgReplyAll.TextBody;
iMsgReplyAll.Send();
// This is Forward.
iMsgForward = iMsg.Forward();
// TODO: Change "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com" to your e-mail address.
iMsgForward.From = "rhaddock@northwindtraders.com";
// TODO: Change "Jonathan@northwindtraders.com" to the address that you want to forward to.
iMsgForward.To = "Jonathan@northwindtraders.com";
iMsgForward.TextBody = "You missed this." + "\n\n" + iMsgForward.TextBody;
iMsgForward.Send();
}
// Clean up memory.
iMsgs = null;
iMsgReply = null;
iMsgReplyAll = null;
iMsgForward = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
}
return;
}
}
} - Where "TODO:" appears in the previous sample code, modify the code as indicated.
- Press F5 to build and to run the program.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
