File: ConnectExchangeDataForm.cs// Namespaces, variables, and constantsusing System;using System.Windows.Forms;using System.Data;using System.Data.OleDb;// . . .private void ConnectExchangeDataForm_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ mailboxNameTextBox.Text = Personal Folders; profileTextBox.Text = Outlook;}private void connectButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ String sqlText = SELECT Subject, Contents FROM Inbox; // Build the connection string. String connectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; + Outlook 9.0; + MAPILEVEL= + mailboxNameTextBox.Text + |; + PROFILE= + profileTextBox.Text + ; + TABLETYPE=0; + DATABASE= + System.IO.Path.GetTempPath( ); // Create the DataAdapter.

The Jet OLE DB provider canaccess an Outlook or Exchange store. An example of the connection string:Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Outlook 9.0;MAPILEVEL=Personal Folders|; PROFILE=Outlook;TABLETYPE=0;DATABASE=c:\temp;The connection string attributes-and-value pairs are described in Table 1-1.
