How are data sources defined for inspectors?
Inspectors use the data source that is defined for the folder. When creating a folder configuration you must map fields to MAPI properties. Then Microsoft Outlook will use the field values to set the values for properties in an item. Alternatively, for user defined properties, mapping is done by specifying the same name for column “name” attribute in configuration and the property name in the Microsoft Outlook form. You can reuse the view configuration (“List DataSource”) for inspecting items. You can also have items configured differently than for the Microsoft Outlook view (“DataSource” and/or “Fields Mapping”). All scenarios are allowed. See: “Application Programmer’s Tutorial” for details.
