Getting MS Outlook data (calendar/apointments) into my program?

Question

I'm wanting to develop a component for a program I use and need to know how to go about getting my tasks and apointments from MS Outlook XP into my program. I have searched the web and the MSDN library but can't find any thing. Could someone provid a code sample or tell me how to do it or even pointing me to a place where I could read about it would be tons of help. Keep in mind that I'm no programing junkie so telling me it's stored in a certian file and that's it isn't much help. So anyway any help is welcome. Thanks

You should start by adding a reference to the Outlook COM object. There's a lot of documentation on doing Outlook interop with .NET. You might find this helpful: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/OutlookConnector.asp
