Converting a VB.Net Console Application to a Web Service

[kls_kumar]

Hi All,

I wrote a sample application to extract the messages and attachments from
a .pst file using VB.Net which is working fine. Now i am trying to web
service enable this and when i added an operation in .asmx File

<WebMethod(), System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapRpcMethod()> _
Public Function extractPST(ByVal fileName As String) As String
Dim readPST As ReadPST
readPST = New ReadPST
readPST.readPST(fileName)
Return "success"
End Function

And i have a class ReadPST.vb which has the code

Sub readPST(ByVal fileName As String)
Dim i As Integer
Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Application
' Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace = objOutlook.Session
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Dim file As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:\test.html")
' Add the .pst File to the Name Space
myNameSpace.AddStore(fileName)
...........

And when i tried to debug the code i am getting a 500 Error at the Line
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")

How can i resolve this..

Thanks a lot

Error 500 is an "internal error" -- which could mean anything. Chances are,
the getNameSpaces method will not work with the ASP.NET's worker process
security. Have you tried running the web service in a user security context?

The chances are that the ASPNET (IIS5) OR NETWORK SERVICE (IIS6) user does
not have access to read or access the mail files.

You sure you have OUTLOOK installed.

Try also to capture the exception, the 500 error is what IIS returns, which
is an internal error, but use the try catch and then write the error message
back, that may give you more information
