About this product: Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) is a technology that is used for applications that involve information sharing and flow processes. CDO is a scripting interface to MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface), introduced in Outlook 98. Prior to the availability of CDO, programming messaging from ASP application required you to buy components. Messaging components have been the top selling components for ASP developers for the last 2 years. This is part of Microsoft's attack on Lotus Domino/Notes which has previously provided a more powerful programming environment for collaborative applications than MS Exchange. CDO is particularly attractive because of its ability to integrate with Office and BackOffice/ASP applications.

About this product: Written for IT developers who build collaborative and workflow applications, this book provides a comprehensive reference to working with Microsoft's powerful collaborative development environment, including Outlook 2000, Exchange Server, and the Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) Library. It demonstrates ways in which these technologies can be tied together into effective business solutions-from small-scale groupware to large-scale enterprise-wide systems.
Developing Applications using Outlook 2000, CDO, Exchange, and Visual Basic offers an overview of the Microsoft collaborative landscape, and then examines each element of that environment in detail. Numerous examples showcase the applications made possible with these technologies and demonstrate VBScript coding techniques. You will find in-depth information on such important topics as:
* properties, methods, and events available in Outlook 97, 98, and 2000 * the Outlook 2000 object model * working with Outlook 2000 mail, calendar, task, and address book capabilities * VBA and COM add-ins * Uusing Outlook Forms and VBScript * Outlook web access * the Forms 2.0 to HTML converter tool * the CDO rendering object model * Exchange agents and routing objects
In addition, this book shows how a number of outside technologies can extend the capabilities of the Outlook/Exchange development environment, including Active Directory (ADSI) services, SQL Server, and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO). The examples include approving purchase order reports using Exchange, maintaining a corporate directory using Outlook and SQL Server, and building an eCommerce application with Exchange and SQL Server.
About this product: The financial industry is swamped by credit products whose economic performance is linked to the performance of some underlying portfolio of credit-risky instruments, like loans, bonds, swaps, or asset-backed securities. Financial institutions continuously use these products for tailor-made long and short positions in credit risks. Based on a steadily growing market, there is a high demand for concepts and techniques applicable to the evaluation of structured credit products. Written from the perspective of practitioners who apply mathematical concepts to structured credit products, Structured Credit Portfolio Analysis, Baskets & CDOs starts with a brief wrap-up on basic concepts of credit risk modeling and then quickly moves on to more advanced topics such as the modeling and evaluation of basket products, credit-linked notes referenced to credit portfolios, collateralized debt obligations, and index tranches. The text is written in a self-contained style so readers with a basic understanding of probability will have no difficulties following it. In addition, many examples and calculations have been included to keep the discussion close to business applications. Practitioners as well as academics will find ideas and tools in the book that they can use for their daily work.
About this product: Computers and devices are more connected now than ever before. Why? Because the humans who use those computers need to collaborate. We need to share information, and we need to do it quickly, without regard to the physical distance that separates us. Corporate solution developers now more than ever have the opportunity and responsibility to enable people to communicate in ways never before possible. CDO and MAPI Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications dives deep into Microsoft's Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) and the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), then moves into succinct explanations of the types of useful messaging applications that can be written in Visual Basic. Microsoft has given the Visual Basic community Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)--a technology that goes far beyond simple email, fully into the realm of information workflow. CDO enables Visual Basic applications to exchange not only classic email, but in fact any information in a straightforward and easy way. The Internet--sometimes seen as a barrier by developers--is turned into an open pipe, ready to take your application's data around the world. Routing documents and building email list servers is just the beginning. Harness the power of worldwide communication in your everyday business applications. MAPI is the cornerstone of messaging on the Windows platforms, and profoundly influences the way you will write your collaboration applications. Understanding this technology lays the foundation for adding effective collaboration capabilities to your own applications. CDO and MAPI Programming with Visual Basic: Developing Mail and Messaging Applications fills a gap in an exciting and relatively young, yet popular, technology that lacks adequate documentation.
