Can I use CalDAV with Outlook without buying additional software?
I found many resources where says, that if you want use CalDAV with Outlook, you need pay. Is it really so?
Outlook does not support CalDAV out of the box, you need a plugin / extra software.
There are commercial offerings for such as well as open source offerings (e.g. you can find https://github.com/aluxnimm/outlookcaldavsynchronizer using a simple search in your favourite search engine).
However, this isn't a programming question and doesn't belong here.

Is it technically possible to use the plugin Microsoft Find Time for an iframe embed to schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting together in a Microsoft Outlook calendar with other accounts using external e-mail addresses?
What other free or commercial tools come to your mind for such a use case, preferrably with location in EU and fully compliant to EU-GDPR with a template of what to add in the data privacy statement.
One tool I already know, but which can't be customized enough for the given use case is Appointlet.
Also, a Microsoft Bookings licence is currently no option.
Are there equal or better alternatives?
Kind regards and thanks,
I have an outlook addin that runs on REST-APIs. I want to migrate it to GRAPH and I am currently exploring the possibility of using the MSAL-browser library to get the GRAPH access tokens. I am currently using this as reference. This was mentioned in this stack-overflow item
I find the 'Single Page Application' solution straight forward, not requiring much interaction with the addin host server. I intend to use its authRedirect flow.
Although I have my own opinions/conclusions, I would like to ask some expert thoughts on the following :
Does MSAL-browser library work for all platforms now? (i.e. Windows Outlook client, IPhone/Android Outlook client, MAC-Outlook client and browser-OWA outlook)
Is it safe to use MSAL-browser for an outlook addin?
If it is not safe, what other alternative is there that does not require much interaction with the addin server?
Thank you very much for all your answers.
We are actively working on MSAL library and currently it is not supported in OWA. As an alternative you can use ADAL library
Is there anything like Google Slides, which can be integrated into the app we are building?
If not, then atleast a way to programmatically import the ppt file, and navigate to the editor for editing?
Any suggestions will be appreciated...
There's an official powerpoint online editor now. You could theoretically put an iframe linking to this page. It seems to require a 365 or Microsoft account, though.
I had a similar requirement and have tested both the online offerings of Microsoft Office (SharePoint, One Drive) and Google docs. However, I finally decided on Only Office (https://www.onlyoffice.com/). The reasons for this were:
The Google and Microsoft offerings didn't (AFAIAK) have the fine tuned security I needed for document editing and access via their various API (i.e. I needed to be able to prevent downloads of documents but allow editing)
Google and Microsoft require sign-in from their respective platforms to use these. This was a UX problem for my project.
Depending on the specific requirement Only Office has the Document Server on a GNU APGL v3 licence. You may need to buy a licence but worth a check.
Their repo is here:

I'm trying to create some application for Windows Phone >= 7.1
During plannin my work and specyfiong technical requirements I've come across one problem.
I wan't to have free application with basic functionality. And then it should be extendable with some non-free extensions (dlls?, databases?, SaaS?)
Is it possible at the moment to use some MS api/app/etc. to be able to publish such extensions and sell them? What is the best way to do this if there is more than one solution?
Thank you for any help.
As of right now (June 2012), in-app purchases are not supported. Your only choices, then are being a paid app and supporting trial mode.
The only way you can do this at present is to handle the additional purchases yourself.
You'd have to set up a website which customers could create an account on and purchase extensions through, then have them also log into your app with those account details to determine what additional data to download or functions to enable.
You could be smart and include the website functionality into your app with a browser control. Take a look at the Amazon Kindle app for an example of how they accomplish it.
I am looking at doing some serious MS Outlook extensibility, going beyond the concept of e-mail, but still in the realm of messaging.
As such, I will need to be able to make Outlook aware of a new 'Account Type' (i.e., it currently only understands POP, Exchange, etc).
Can anyone point me to an area of the API that may facilitate this functionality, if it exists...?
Thanks
Adam,
reading your question about having a new provider you would have to look at creating a new Mapi provider. This is a pretty complicated area a place to start would be MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc979221.aspx also look for the pdf book "Inside mapi" on the internet
There may be other ways to look at the problem though using Addins for outlook that would extend the UI using panes and form regions etc. or and older technique is to use subclassing and hooking.
