Outlook 2000 Com object in C# doesnt quit

Hi everybody.
I try to build some Outlook 2000 / XP Addin,
It works fine with the XP version, but with OL 2k, nothing to do, it never
quits outlook (i can see it in the process list) I read in a microsoft
article that this could happen when all the Com_object instances are not set
to null. This is what i have done ((or seems to)) but it doesn't quit too.
So my questions are following :
1 . is there a way to see in one round alla the instances of the com_objects
2. is there something special to do with OL 2K to make it quit.

I hope smone will be able to help Me !!!
Thanks a lot even if you spent a bit of time reading this post and doesn't
have the answer

her's mys code :
try
{
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(this .email_envoye);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//System.Windows. Forms.MessageBo x.Show(ex.ToStr ing());
}
try
{
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(this .email_recu);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//System.Windows. Forms.MessageBo x.Show(ex.ToStr ing());
}
try

System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(this .emails_envoyes )

palouf,
Have you looked over this site?
http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm

It lists a number of resources available when using Outlook with .NET.

I've been reading ".NET and COM - The Complete Interoperabilit y Guide" by
Adam Nathan from SAMS. Two things he stated that makes sense.

1. ReleaseComObjec t items in the correct order, release child objects,
before you release parent objects.
2. Marshal.Release ComObject may actually need to be called multiple times,
He suggests calling Marshal.Release ComObject multiple times until it returns
zero.

Hope this helps
Jay

Can anyone provide a small snippet in C# that pulls out the Contacts in Outlook XP. I've seen a couple of examples in C++ and VB in previous newsgroup posts, but either the originals didn't work or my conversion skills are weak. And if I have to use tlbimp.exe what is the right file to use. Thanks for the help. -- Fritz

Hi everyone. Having problems with a utility I am writing for work. The previous IT Director thoughtfully allowed 3 (2000, xp, 2003) versions of outlook to be installed rather than 1.

No one out there shows how to go beyond version detection to...
