| Platform SDK: Exchange 2000 Server |
[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
CDO for Exchange 2000 Server provides a convenient object model for managing folders, messages, Exchange mailboxes, appointments, contacts, and other items as well as the properties about those items. CDO is especially designed to operate in the Web Store and supports Internet standards and protocols. It provides direct access to OLE DB interfaces for using the Web Store.
CDO integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft® ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 2.5 component to provide you with a consistent data-access interface to the Web Store and the Windows 2000 Active Directory. As you set values to CDO properties or access Web Store properties, CDO saves data to the correct locations for you whether it's the Web Store or the Active Directory.
Each of the following CDO objects provides a Fields collection on its default interface, allowing you to access Web Store item properties directly.
CDO interface properties provide the essential functionality for making collaborative applications using the Web Store. There are situations, however, when using ADO or OLE DB may be more appropriate.
