List Tasks from Exchange Server & Remove Linked Resources’ Traces from Message Body using .NET

What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for .NET 17.1.0. This month’s release brings several improvements to the API functional areas including Exchange Web Service (EWS) API, Linked Resources of a message and MIME message processing. It also fixes several bugs that were reported with last month’s version of the API. Aspose.Email API lets users list messages from exchange server mailbox using the ListMessages method. Similarly, appointments can be retrieved using the ListAppointments method of the IEWSClient API. This release implements the functionality of listing tasks from Exchange Server mailbox using the ListTasks method. Not only tasks can be listed from the mailbox, these can be filtered as well by using the ExchangeQueryBuilder – a feature that was introduced in the last month’s release.

The overloaded method of LinkedResourceCollection.RemoveAt method removes all traces of the resource from message body along with the resource. The API converts embedded EML attachments to MSG during conversion to MSG format using MapiMessage.FromMailMessage. However, there could be occurrences where the requirement is to retain/preserve embedded EML format during this conversion. This month’s release provides the capability to preserve the embedded EML format using the MapiConversionOptions.PreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat.

Specify Number of Significant Digits & Get Paper Size of a Worksheet inside Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Java 17.1.0. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the API. The LoadFilter class allows customizing the loading process as per the properties of the Worksheet. In order to customize the loading process, one has to override the LoadFilter.startSheet method. Please note, there are just a few properties that can be used for a given worksheet object in this scenario because most of the data and properties have not been loaded yet. The available Worksheet properties are: Name, Index & VisibilityType. With the release, the API has added the setter for the LoadFilter.LoadDataFilterOptions property to replace the m_LoadDataFilterOptions instance variable. Users may change the LoadDataFilterOptions property in their own implementation of LoadFilter class to control the behavior of loading template files. Sometimes, application requirement could be to retrieve the worksheet’s paper size in the unit of Inches, which can now be achieved using two properties. The PageSetup.PaperWidth and PageSetup.PaperHeight properties are of type double representing the paper width & height in the unit of inches while considering the page orientation. Aspose.Cells APIs store 17 significant digits of double values unlike Excel application which stores only 15 significant digits. Users can override this default behavior of Aspose.Cells APIs while using the newly exposed property. The code snippet on blog announcement page enforces the Aspose.Cells APIs to use 15 significant digits while storing double values to the spreadsheet files of type XLSX.  It has has added a property to the WorkbookSettings class. The CheckCustomNumberFormat is useful in checking if the Style.Custom property has been set properly or not. In case the Style.Custom property has been set improperly, that is; the value does not correspond to valid pattern then the Aspose.Cells for Java APIs will throw CellsException with appropriate message. This new release has enhanced its core for more stability as well as fixed a few critical bugs. Moreover, there are numerous minor enhancements in order to improve the overall usage of the API. A few of the worth mentioning enhancements includes, ability to read the color of shape’s glow effect, Support for rendering gradient fill for WordArt objects while converting spreadsheets to HTML, support to load Excel 2016 chart types, enhanced HTML parsing engine for inline CSS, handled a few exceptions and many more.

Developers can now load these file formats in Aspose.Cells’ object model as well as save the result back after manipulation. The process to load any of the supported file format is simple as passing the file path (or an object of the FileStream) to the Factory::CreateIWorkbook method, however, in order to save the result in a particular file format requires explicit directive, that is; by passing appropriate second parameter from the Aspose::Cells::SaveFormat enumeration to the IWorkbook.Save method. In order to get more in-depth knowledge of these newly supported file formats, please check the detailed articles in the documentation section, such as Load & save CSV files, Load & save Tab-Delimited files, Load & save XLSM spreadsheet files and Load & save XLSB spreadsheet files.

The LoadFilter class allows customizing the loading process as per the properties of the Worksheet. In order to customize the loading process, one has to override the LoadFilter.StartSheet method. Please note, there are just a few properties that can be used for a given worksheet object in this scenario because most of the data and properties have not been loaded yet.

Sometimes, application requirement could be to retrieve the worksheet’s paper size in the unit of Inches, which can now be achieved using the PageSetup.PaperWidth and PageSetup.PaperHeight properties. The PageSetup.PaperWidth and PageSetup.PaperHeight properties are of type double representing the paper width & height in the unit of inches while considering the page orientation. Aspose.Cells APIs store 17 significant digits of double values unlike Excel application which stores only 15 significant digits. Users can override this default behavior of Aspose.Cells APIs while using the newly exposed CellsHelper.SignificantDigits property. The code snippet enforces the Aspose.Cells APIs to use 15 significant digits while storing double values to the spreadsheet files of type XLSX. It has added the CheckCustomNumberFormat property to the WorkbookSettings class. The CheckCustomNumberFormat is useful in checking if the Style.Custom property has been set properly or not.

It has enhanced its core for more stability as well as fixed a few critical bugs. Moreover, there are numerous minor enhancements in order to improve the overall usage of the API. Furthermore, this release has fixed several other issues. For example, issues around reading/writing MS Excel Excel file formats, rendering wordart and smartart shapes, rendering charts and other shapes, manipulating ListObject/Table, formatting and manipulating Pivot Tables, conditional formatting, rendering to HTML file format, rendering images from Excel worksheets, rendering images files from charts and exporting Excel workbooks to PDF format have been resolved.
