Open Outlook new mail from ASP.net throws COM Exception.

[sreemathy2000]

My requirement is to preload the To,cc, Subject, body ,add an attachement and automatically open the New mail screen of outlook from my web page.

Send option is left to the user. I was able to find the code for this and it executed successfully in the LocalHost...

I'm using Windows XP, Outlook 2003 and ASP.net 2.0

But when i deploy it in the server, it get a following error message

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005.

I seached for some tips in the internet and got the link which is posted soem time in 2005.

The suggestion in this doesn't help.

Kindly let me know if there is any thing else that i need to do to resolve this..


I have pasted the code that i'm using.

Outlook.Application objOutlk = new Outlook.Application();        Outlook.MailItem mail = objOutlk.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) as Outlook.MailItem;        
mail.Subject = " Practice Dashboard";      
mail.To = "[e-mail]"; 
mail.Attachments.Add("c:\\sample.xls", Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 1, "Practice Dashboard");       
mail.Display(true);      
objOutlk = null;  
mail = null;

Hello,
when you get such errors (and especially if you have been given an error code)
the best way is to search for it first.
