POOM sample: creating a new private task

Neither Outlook nor Pocket Outlook marks tasks as private. If you have a private PC it's not a problem but if you work with an Exchange server some companies leave your mailbox configure so -everyone- can see your "public" tasks. My tasks are private and they should stay so.

The following code sample uses the Pocket Outlook .NET Compact Framework class library to create a new task, set the due date to today, an mark it as private and display it so the user can enter subject and notes:

public enum Sensitivity

{                

      Normal = 0 ,

      Personal = 1,

      Private = 2,

      Confidential = 3

}

…

/// <summary>

/// Create a new task. The due date is set to Today

/// </summary>

/// <param name="sender"></param>

/// <param name="e"></param>

private void menuNew_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

      PocketOutlook.Task task = (PocketOutlook.Task) _pocketOutlook.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks).Items.Add();

      task.Sensitivity =  PocketOutlook.Sensitivity.Private;

      task.DueDate = System.DateTime.Today;

      task.Save();

      task.Display();

      //reloadTasks();             

}
