Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Returns Nothing (a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) in C#) because free-busy information is available only to individual users and not ExchangeDistributionList objects.

public string GetFreeBusy (DateTime Start, int MinPerChar, object CompleteFormat);

Public Function GetFreeBusy (Start As DateTime, MinPerChar As Integer, Optional CompleteFormat As Object) As String

Parameters

Start: DateTime

MinPerChar: Int32

CompleteFormat: Object

Returns

String

Remarks

The ExchangeDistributionList object is derived from the AddressEntry object. It inherits the GetFreeBusy method from the AddressEntry object, and in the case of ExchangeDistributionList, regardless of the values of the parameters, this method always returns Nothing.

This method does not return the free-busy information of individual members of an ExchangeDistributionList. To obtain free-busy information for a meeting request, send the request to individual users. Use the AddressEntryUserType property of the AddressEntry object obtained from AddressEntry to determine if a Recipient represents an ExchangeDistributionList.
