Much more suitably qualified people on this list that me to answer this, as
app-dev isnt my main focus, but event handlers are a pretty good place to
start with SharePoint dev IMO as they tend to be relatively simple codewise
(and therefore within my reach :-).
I use Brian Wilsonss feature/solution to take care of the deployment of the
event handler.

So in visual studio you will have to create a new class, add a reference to
Microsoft.sharepoint.dll, paste in that code and build it. Have you gotten
that far?
In fact Brians article was all I needed to get started. You may find it
useful in your endeavors. I recommend reading the other articles in his
series

Subject: [OzMOSS] Developer help!
Hi All:
I am 6 months new to sharepoint administration and we are using a WSS 3.0
environment. My problem is I want to create an event handler that will pull
certain fields (other than the body, subject and email address) of an email
and then create a new list item with the selected fields. For Example:
Create an outlook form with fields like First Name, Last Name, Problem
description, Contact method (choice field), ID, hardware used (choice field)
Etc
This is being used for a remote administration we are providing.
Anyways, I have no experience developing in visual studio, but do have
access to it. After a few weeks of research I have found the code for the
event handler that I need to modify and found basic instructions to create
an event handler, but I have been unsuccessful putting them together and
building the solution in Visual Studio.
The code that is responsible for pulling the Body, subject and email out of
the box in sharepoint is:
namespace TaskHandler
{
public class SimpleHandler:SPEmailEventReceiver
{
public override void EmailReceived(SPList list,
Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities.SPEmailMessage emailMessage, string
receiverData)
{
SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
item["Title"] = emailMessage.Headers["Subject"];
item["DueDate"] =
System.DateTime.Parse(emailMessage.Headers["Date"]).AddDays(21);
item["Description"] = emailMessage.HtmlBody;
item.Update();
}
}
}
However for me to edit it and make it work/deploy it as an event handler is
not working to well.
Anyways, ANY HELP that any of you developers can provide me with would be
MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
I am a quick learner!
Thank you,
Mike

Re-run the search crawl.
If you have just mapped the Managed Property to a Crawl Property then you
need to re-run the crawl again in order for the Managed Property to
correctly map through to the Crawl Property.
Ie.
1. Crawl once to detect the Crawl Property
2. Create a Managed Property and Map it to the Crawl Property
3. Run the crawl again after mapping the Managed Property

Subject: [OzMOSS] Custom Managed Properties
Hi All,
[Sorry this is a bit long winded]
I have a custom Managed Property that is mapped to a Crawled Property.
The Crawled Property is a metadata element in an aspx page, and has been
crawled and discovered by the query engine. I know that the property has
been found because on the crawled property page it lists some sample
documents that use the property.
The problem I am having is that the Managed Property is returning blank when
I perform a search, and when I look at the Managed Property properties it
has Number of items found with this property: 0 in the Content using this
property section.
Example metadata element:
Thanks for your help
Roger
[For those who are interested in hearing about my last problem. The client
still wanted the documents to be crawled instantly when a page was created
so Im starting an incremental crawl every time. So far this works fine, but
has not been tested under load.]

RE: [OzMOSS] Developer help!
Although this doesn't answer your event handler question, it is developer
related.
I recently had a look at a great new SharePoint developer tool on CodePlex
called STSDEV http://www.codeplex.com/stsdev.
It's excellent and generates SharePoint code for you, it will also save a lot
of development time. I advise all SharePoint developers to watch the video's on
this page
http://www.codeplex.com/stsdev/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=10119
Start with -
1. STSDEV_01_Introduction.wmv: A basic introduction to the STSDEV utility
which covers setup and usage including an exploration of the basic Visual
Studio project structure that is generated for all STSDEV-generated solutions.
You should view this screencast before any of the others.

Re: [OzMOSS] Developer help!
PREP: This is an answer you will not like.
If you have no experience developing, then copy/pasting some code is
not the right thing (for your organization) to do. If you have any C#
developers on staff run this past them. If not, either buy or
contract someone (with guaranteed support) to do this for you.
You will likely get this right. But then support comes someone
wants a modification, or a bugfix
Ad-hoc development is great for learning, but please don't deploy
something you copy-paste from a blog into production anywhere. You're
doing your employer a disservice, and yourself.
