Is it possible to get owner of a shared calendar [Outlook Interop]

I want to find the owner of an appointment I'm creating on a shared calender. Is that possible?

I'm having the storeId from the folder by doing:

Folder folder = Appointment.Application.ActiveExplorer().CurrentFolder as Folder;
string storeid = folder.StoreID;

How can I get the owner?

It doesn't seem as easy as it sounds. I thought there was an Owner property, but there isn't unfortunately.

I found this blog article that explains how you can extract the owner from the StoreID you already have.

The most important thing is to convert the string from a hexadecimal representation, and then use this regex:

private string ParseEntryID(string storeID)
{
    string s = HexReader.GetString(storeID);
    //TODO: These values might be different depending on
    what you have named your groups in ESM
    const string REG_EX = @"/o=First Organization/ou=First
        Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=(\w+)";
    Match m = Regex.Match(s, REG_EX);

    return m.Value;
}

The code for the HexReader can be found in the article.
