Hi
with referene to your mail below :
Must be an interop issue, though it works on my machine.
When i print the type of the return value of the
Getnamespace method it is as follows
Console.WriteLine((l_objOutlookApp.GetNamespace
("mapi")).GetType());
// Prints "Outlook.NameSpaceClass"
So try out the following
1.
//Comment the original assignment statement
//Add the following modified line
//Outlook.NameSpace l_objOutlookNamespace =
l_objOutlookApp.GetNamespace("mapi");
Outlook.NameSpaceClass l_objOutlookNamespace =
(Outlook.NameSpaceClass) l_objOutlookApp.GetNamespace
("mapi");//watch out for line wraps.
2.
//Comment the original assignment statement
//Outlook.NameSpace l_objOutlookNamespace =
l_objOutlookApp.GetNamespace("mapi");
//Add the following modified line
Outlook.NameSpaceClass l_objOutlookNamespace =
(Outlook.NameSpaceClass) l_objOutlookApp.GetNamespace
("mapi"); //watch out for line wraps.
let me know if this also gives problems...Also once the
l_objOutlookApp is initialized, check the value of the obj
var in the watch window.
The funny part is why is the queryinterface for the
outlook._Application failing??? Im able to see this in
the ILDASM of my interop assembly. If possible mail me the
interop assembly of the Outlook that is created(zipped) so
that i can use ILDASM to check it out
would appreciate any comments from others also
regards,
sr
