Integration with Outlook 2000 – Saving an email as RTF file.

[Krishna]

I am trying to loop thru Inbox and select any one email and save it as
a RTF file. Here is the code I am using

Outlook.Explorer myOutlookExplorer =
myOutlookApp.Explorers.Add(myOutlookNamespace.GetD efaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbo x),
Outlook.OlFolderDisplayMode.olFolderDisplayNormal) ;
myOutlookExplorer.Activate();
Outlook.MailItem myMailItem = (Outlook.MailItem)
myOutlookExplorer.CurrentFolder.Items.Item(1);
myMailItem.SaveAs("D:\temp.rf", OlSaveAsType.olRTF);
This is the error message I am getting .

Additional information: Could not complete the operation. One or more
parameter values are not valid.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Krishna,

It could be the string that you are using to save the file to. The
following string:

"D:\temp.rf"

Is actually interpreted as follows:

"D:<tab>emp.rf"

Which is probably the root of the problems. The "\" character is the
escape character and interprets the next character after it in a special
manner. To get around this, you can do the following:

"D:\\temp.rf"

Or:

@"D:\temp.rf"

The @ sign means to interpret the string literally.

Hope this helps.

If this is literally your C# code then this is one problem:

myMailItem.SaveAs("D:\temp.rf",
change to:

myMailItem.SaveAs("D:\\temp.rtf",
