| Platform SDK: Exchange 2000 Server |
[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The sink classes you develop will contain Exchange defined interfaces. The Exchange sink source can call the methods on the interfaces in response to store events. To call the method, the Exchange sink source will create an instance of your sink class, retrieve the desired interface, and call the appropriate method.
There are Synchronous, Asynchronous, System and Registration Events. Exchange has defined interfaces to match these groups. The following table lists the interfaces and their methods, and the event each method supports. The subtopics in this section explain the concepts behind each interface and method.
The IExStoreSyncEvents has two methods.
| Name | When called (by the event sink source) |
|---|---|
| OnSyncSave | When an item is saved to the store. |
| OnSyncDelete | When an item is deleted. |
The IExStoreAsyncEvents has two methods.
| Name | When called (by the event sink source) |
|---|---|
| OnSave | When an item is saved to the store. |
| OnDelete | When an item is deleted from the store. |
Note Other "events" such as moving or copying an item are handled by the save and delete events. When an item is copied in the store it generates a save event. A move fires both save and delete events. An item is moved in the store by first copying it to its new destination, and then deleting it from its previous location.
The IExStoreSystemEvents has three methods.
| Name | When called (by the event sink source) |
|---|---|
| OnTimer | After a certain period of time. |
| OnMDBStartUp | When an MDB is started. |
| OnMDBShutdown | When an MDB is shut down. |
The ICreateRegistration has one method.
| Name | When called (by the event sink source) |
|---|---|
| Register | Automatically called when an event registration item is saved to the store |
See Interfaces Used Within Sinks for interfaces you can obtain from within your event sink class.
