Send email through mapi

[sentiboy]

I am using the following code for sending email through mapi in VS 2005
environment:

Public objSession As New MSMAPI.MAPISess ion
Public objMessage As New MSMAPI.MAPIMess ages

objSession.Down LoadMail = False
objSession.User Name = "MyUsername "
objSession.Pass word = "MyPassword "
objSession.Sign On()
objMessage.Sess ionID = objSession.Sess ionID
objMessage.Comp ose()

objMessage.Reci pAddress = txtTo.Text
objMessage.Text = txtBody.Text
objMessage.Subj ect = txtSubject.Text

objMessage.Send (True) 'ShowDialog
MsgBox("Message sent successfully!")
objSession.Sign Off()

I uninstalled Microsoft Outlook (comes along with msoffice), now my
default client is Outlook Express, I get this exception:

An unhandled exception of type
'System.Runtime .InteropService s.COMException' occurred in
mailclient.exe

Can anybody help me out ?

Why use an installed client when you can use the DotNet infrustructure,
which has it all built in?

I just saw your previous similar-veined post, and realized my response may
not be what you are looking for, as you are actually trying to tie into the
Outlook messaging system. I have not dug that deeply into MAPI... I just
needed to be able to *send* email to our local email server from our
automated application. However, you may still find what you are looking for
at the sites I mentioned.

Cheers!

I need to do some checking with the latest stuff but the last I looked
around the first of the year, the elegant stuff in the framework wasn't
worth the effort to blow it up IN REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS!

My testing worked great in my office. The moment I took it to a real site -
my client's, not even the motely crew of real end users - it ran into
firewall problems.

I gave up and used VB 6 techniques!

It's on my list to revisit when I get time.

Elegance is all right. Working is better.

Al
