NameSpace.AutoDiscoverXml Property (Outlook)
Returns a String that represents information in XML retrieved from the auto-discovery service for the Microsoft Exchange server that hosts the primary Exchange account. Read-only.
Version Information
Version Added: Outlook 2007
Syntax
expression .AutoDiscoverXml
expression A variable that represents a NameSpace object.
Remarks
This property is similar to the AutoDiscoverXml property of the Account object. If there are multiple Exchange accounts defined in the current profile, use the AutoDiscoverXml property for the specific account.
The returned string of XML contains information about various Web services (for example, availability service and unified messaging service) and available servers.
An error is returned if the active profile does not contain an account that is connected to a server that is Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or later.
Example
NameSpace.AutoDiscoverXml is an XML string that is returned from the auto-discovery service of the Exchange server. The following code sample uses the AutoDiscoverConnectionMode property to show when this XML string is available during a normal Outlook session.
When the Application.Startup event occurs, if NameSpace.AutoDiscoverConnectionMode is not equal to olAutoDiscoverConnectionUnknown.
When the NameSpace.AutoDiscoverComplete event occurs, if AutoDiscoverConnectionMode is not equal to olAutoDiscoverConnectionUnknown.
Dim WithEvents Session As NameSpace
Dim LastAutoDiscoverXml As String
Dim LastAutoDiscoverConnectionMode As OlAutoDiscoverConnectionMode
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set Session = Application.Session
If (Session.AutoDiscoverConnectionMode <> olAutoDiscoverConnectionUnknown) Then
LastAutoDiscoverXml = Session.AutoDiscoverXml
LastAutoDiscoverConnectionMode = Session.AutoDiscoverConnectionMode
DoAutoDiscoverBasedWork
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Session_AutoDiscoverComplete()
LastAutoDiscoverXml = Session.AutoDiscoverXml
LastAutoDiscoverConnectionMode = Session.AutoDiscoverConnectionMode
If LastAutoDiscoverConnectionMode <> olAutoDiscoverConnectionUnknown Then
DoAutoDiscoverBasedWork
End If
End Sub
Private Sub DoAutoDiscoverBasedWork()
' Do activity requires auto discover information
Dim displayName As String
Dim posStartTag, posEndTag As Integer
posStartTag = InStr(1, LastAutoDiscoverXml, "<DisplayName>")
posEndTag = InStr(1, LastAutoDiscoverXml, "</DisplayName>")
If (posStartTag > 1 And posEndTag > 1) Then
displayName = Mid(LastAutoDiscoverXml, posStartTag + 13, posEndTag - posStartTag - 13)
