Re: [flexcoders] Flex (possibly FDS) communicating with MS Exchange Server

[Nick Collins]

I'm sure it would be very possible. However, you need to remember that Flex/Flash does not have any data connectivity in and of itself. It needs that middle logic tier to handle that communication. Therefore, you could pretty easily write your .Net code to do that, then use Web Services, or just having it generate XML and using HTTPRequest to get your data into your Flex frontend.

            Greetings All,

I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, and create another Contact
Manager - since Outlook combined with Exchange Server, has over 90% of
what everybody needs to manage their e-mail and contacts.

However, it would be SO nice to have the ability to create custom
screens within a Flex Application, that contains data which resides on
the Exchange Server.

Within the company I work for, there are 7 other sub-companies that work
underneath the main umbrella company.  All our employees have multiple
roles, and must manage products & services across all the other
companies.

What we do, is just have multiple identities (e-mail aliases) for our
users, so that way we can have a single Mail Server with 1 mail store.

For each unique Flex App that I write, it would be so wonderful to pull
in e-mail & contacts into the application.  I know that Microsoft has
some API's that software developers can hook into - and that it's a
piece of cake, if you wanted to use .NET or some other MS Technology.

What about a Flex App though?  Does anybody have any ideas on how to
communicate with an Exchange Server?

If anybody has experience in this area, or some sample apps that
demonstrate this functionality firsthand, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks!

Mike
