Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute |
Description |
|---|---|
ContentType |
The type name of this context in Outlook 2010. Can be different from the name of the external content type in the model. The value that you specify here affects the name of the Outlook item type as it appears in the Outlook object model. In Outlook, the name is appended to the Outlook item type; the full name of an external content type is Outlook.<OutlookItemType>.<ContentType>. For example, a Customer external type could be Outlook.Contact.Customer if it is visualized as an Outlook Contact. If the external content type is visualized in a taskpane in Outlook, the full name is EntityView.<ContentType>. For example, EntityView.Customer indicates how a customer would be visualized in the taskpane. If you use the object model to work on Outlook items, this is the naming scheme that you use to identify your Outlook items. Required. Attribute type: String |
