Outlook Contacts with C#

[Jörg Schroeder]

How can i create Outlook Contacts with C#.
I always get errors or program crashs. Why am i not able to create an
instance of Outlook.ContactItem? What do i have to do?

FYI: I have the references correct and namespace (MAPI) and such things:
private Outlook.Application objOutlook = null;

private Outlook.NameSpace objNamespace = null;

private Outlook.MAPIFolder objFolder = null;

But I just don't know how i create a new contact item!?
Can someone help me out?

Jörg,
Which version of Outlook? I find its easier (safer) with Outlook XP or
Outlook 2003 and the respective copy of the Outlook PIA.

You create a contact with the Outlook.Application.CreateItem method.

The following site provides a plethora of articles on using Outlook from
..NET

Hope this helps
