I need to hook (subscribe) to Outlook Calendar events (in my case it is a "resource" - room), in order to record all events in my ASP.NET application.
Is there a way to implement this?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Shabtai,
You may consider using the Outlook Notifications REST API .
Be aware, Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office
may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side.
If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution. Read more about that in the
Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article in MSDN.
