Outlook calendar client in .net

Hi,

I think this should be right forum to post this query.
Actually, I am very much new to the idea of outlook programming and
have no clue on how to go about it.

They say you have to find your own way and here I am.

I have a Office management application developed in C#.net.

Now I want to access a users calendar in outlook and get the meetings
scheduled, recieve, respond and send meeting requests, etc. In other
words anything that happens with calendering on Outlook desktop
client, I want to develop that in my .net application.

I guess there must be a way to talk to the backend server and retrive
the info for seemless integration with any application. I mean
interfaces, functions or objects.

As you can see I have no clue how to go about it.

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The best group to post in would have been 
microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins or program_vba, those are the main 
programming groups.

You need to use the Outlook object model for what you want to do, start 
looking at the code and samples at www.outlookcode.com to get started.
