An exception object is created when a recurring Appointment is altered. For example, if you change the IAppointment::get_Startproperty of one instance of a recurring appointment, you create an exception in the exceptions collection for the recurrence pattern.

The IExceptionscollection is on the IRecurrencePatternobject, not on the IAppointmentitem itself. The IExceptionsobject can be accessed with the IRecurrencePattern::get_Exceptionsproperty method.

The following code example demonstrates how to get the first exception item in the exceptions collection of a recurring Appointment.

Note:
To make the following code example easier to read, security checking and error handling are not included. This code example should not be used in a release configuration unless it has been modified to include them.
