Thanks but not quite there yet

[Zack]

Thanks for the reply but the object is not just to send
email but to open outlook express or outlook and use it to
compose and send email. Can you help me with that please?

The behavior of my application should be identical to the
case of clicking on an email address in internet explorer.
I want to bring up mail client software exactly like
internet explorer does.

Hi

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("mailto:sa** ***@yahoo.com?s ubject=test");

You should naturally replace the actual email address and subject with the
relevant email address and subject.

did you read my reply?

if you just want to use outlook\outlook express (pretty sure outlook works
with this too, don't have it on this machine to test)
this code will do it, you'll have to put a little work into filling in the
address & subject, but it will work.

Hi again,

However, I'm very tired and I didn't read your post fully - I
thought you wanted more precise control.

Go with Chris and Daniel.
(And thank them profusely.)

Fergus

How does the visibility of objects work in VB. I am pretty
sure i have to do something extra to mimic the following
line from VB to C#

Private g_oOutlook As Outlook.Applica tion

How do i make Outlook.Applica tion datatype visible in my
C# code?

Hi Zack,

I'm too lazy to do too much but I've attached a bunch of stufffrom an app that copies emails from Outlook to Acrobat. It should getyou started at least. It's in VB but I'm sure you can cope with that.
Here's the gist of it though (still in VB) for anyone else who'sereading this post.

Private g_oOutlook As Outlook.Applica tion 'The server of theEmails.
Private g_oMailStore As Outlook.NameSpa ce 'The Email sourcewithin Outlook.

oOutlook = New Outlook.Applica tion
oMailStore = g_oOutlook.GetN amespace ("MAPI")

oFoldersList As Outlook._Folder s = oMailStore.Fold ers 'Notethe '_'.
oFoldersList.Ge tFirst().Folder s

Dim oFolder As Outlook.MAPIFol der = oFoldersList.Ge tFirst() Dim aoItems As Outlook.Items = oFolder.Items

Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailIte m = Nothing
Try
oEmail = aoItems.Item (uiEmailNum) 'This will fail if theitem is not an Outlook.MailIte m.

Come back with any questions.

Regards,
Fergus

Then you should have replied more specifically bout what you've read, so youdon't confuse people, ;).

As far as i know, and i could be wrong, outlook express doesn't have anautomation interface.

Outlook does, you can use the outlook XP PIA (available from microsoft) andfollow some of the suggestions from fergus to create an Outlook.Applica tionobject.
I havn't played with it in C# yet, but it can be done. Read up a bit on theOutlook object model and familiarize yourself with how it works (should beavailable on msdn atleast).
