Remarks

You can append, set, or delete properties when you update an item.

If you try to submit a change description that includes more than one property to modify, an ErrorIncorrectUpdatePropertyCount error will be returned.

To correctly save the DateTime properties of a task, a time zone is required. However, in versions of Exchange earlier than Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2), no time zone information is passed to Exchange Web Services (EWS). Starting with Exchange 2007 SP2, EWS includes the ability to specify the time zone when you create task items. For more information, see Updating Exchange Web Services Clients for Exchange 2007 SP2. If you do not specify the time zone when you update tasks in Exchange 2007 SP2, EWS will use the current time zone offset to create the time zone that is used for DateTime properties when the task is updated.

Example

The following code example shows how to update a meeting. This example performs the following actions:

1. Adds a new required attendee to the meeting.

2. Updates the start time of the meeting to the current time on the client.

3. Adds a custom MAPI property to the meeting.

4. Deletes all optional attendees.

5. Automatically resolves any conflicts in the update operation.

6. Sends the meeting update to all attendees and saves a copy of the updated meeting request in the folder that the SavedItemFolderId property identifies.
