Question : Where is Outlook Express inbox.dbx file?

Hello,

Can someone tell me where Outlook Express hides the inbox.dbx file? I need to back up my inbox messages in order to do a clean install of XP.

When I perform a search for inbox.dbx it is not found.

Working with .NET objects from CF is a little different than using them from w/in .NET.  Properties are a good example.  To access pubic "properties" you'll need to use the syntax:

   Get_propertyName()
   Set_propertyName(value)
   (See: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=dotNet_04.html)

So to access the "RecordA" property use the following, which will return an array.

   <!--- assuming the DLL is in the current directory --->
   <cfset path = ExpandPath("SharedRecordDefinitions.dll")>
   <cfset obj = createObject("dotnet", "SharedRecordDefinitions.SharedRecordDefinitions", path)>
   <!--- recordA will now contain an array of objects --->
   <cfset recordA = obj.get_recordA()>

VB.NET arrays (like "recordA") should be converted transparently. So you'll be able to iterate through its elements using the "array" attribute of cfloop.  Note, this example doesn't do anything except dump the public methods of each element ...

   <cfloop array="#obj.get_recordA()#" index="elem">
      <cfdump var="#elem#">
  </cfloop>

Keep in mind VB.NET "structures" aren't the same as CF structures.  So they'll be converted into objects, meaning you'll need to use the same technique, ie Get_propertyName(), to access the contents of your structures:

    <cfloop array="#obj.get_recordA()#" index="elem">
        <!--- use the Get_ methods to display the values ...--->
      <cfoutput>
      FName = #elem.get_FName()#
      LName = #elem.get_LName()#<br>
      </cfoutput>
    </cfloop>

Since the "structures" are not interchangable w/CF structures, keep in mind you won't be able to use them everywhere you can use a CF structure. For example, you *can't* use the "collection" attribute of cfloop to iterate through the structure keys -OR- use associative array notation to access the values as you *can* with regular CF structures:

<!--- {} is a shortcut for structNew() --->
<cfset myStruct = {} >
<cfset myStruct.FName = "Bob">
<cfset myStruct.LName = "Smith">
<cfloop collection="#myStruct#" item="key">
    <cfoutput>
      key = #key# value=#myStruct[key]#<br>
    </cfoutput>
</cfloop>
