Outlook Filter Items - Get all recurring appointments in a week range

Question

I'm trying to get all appointments in outlook in week range, but reoccurring appointments are not showing up. Here is the code: ``` var outlook = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); var calendar = outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar); calendar.Items.IncludeRecurrences = true; string filter = String.Format("[Start] >= {0} And [End] < {1}", DateTime.Now.Date.ToString("ddddd h:nn AMPM"), DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(5).ToString("ddddd h:nn AMPM")); Outlook.AppointmentItem appointment; foreach (var item in calendar.Items.Restrict(filter)) { appointment = item as Outlook.AppointmentItem; if (appointment != null) { MessageBox.Show(appointment.Start.ToString()); } } ``` How do I get all of the recurring appointments that are displayed in Outlook for a week range?

Accepted Answer

You have to use recurrence pattern Put this inside your loop:

```
     if (item.IsRecurring)
        {
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.RecurrencePattern rp = item.GetRecurrencePattern();
            DateTime first = new DateTime(2011, 11, 7, item.Start.Hour, item.Start.Minute, 0);
            DateTime last = new DateTime(2011, 12, 1);
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem recur = null;

for (DateTime cur = first; cur <= last; cur = cur.AddDays(1))
            {
                    recur = rp.GetOccurrence(cur);
                    Console.WriteLine(cur.ToLongDateString());
            }
        }
```
