C# folder.FolderPath (and many other dynamic properties)

Question

I logon to an RDOSession, then:

foreach(RDOStore store in rdoSession.Stores)
    {
        RDOFolder folder = store.GetDefaultFolder(rdoDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
        Debug.WriteLine(folder.FolderPath);
    }

Visual Studio marks FolderPath as an error: RDOFolder does not contain a definition for FolderPath...

If I omit that line (so the code will run), then break right after getting the folder, I can add folder to the watch list and expand it. It shows no properties at all unless I expand the Dynamic View node. I can then see all the properties referred to in the Redemption docs.

My question is: how do I refer to Redemption properties like FolderPath in code? Some properties are fine -- e.g. folder.Items will compile just fine. But many are not -- like folder.FolderPath.

The FolderPath property is implemented by the IRDOFolder2 interface and derived from RDOFolder. Try to cast an instance of the RDOFolder class to IRDOFolder2 and get the property value.

Also you may try using the Outlook object model which provides the MAPIFolder.FolderPath property which returns a string (string in C#) that indicates the path of the current folder.
