.Net and Outlook.Application problem.

[1andy1]

Hello,

I have a following problem.
Development environment Windows XP, VS 2008, Outlook 2003.
Deployment environment Small bussiness server, Outlook 2000.
I have created a small VB .Net program which forwards emails using Outlook application. This program is called from MS-SQL every 2 min.
At the end of the program I close all the resources, but Outlook.exe process is still displayed in the Task manager.
Here is the code I use for closing the Outlook.

OlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
myNS = OlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
myNS.Logon()
...
myNS.Logoff()
OlApp.Quit()
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(OlApp)

GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
GC.Collect()

Since I do not have Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll for Outlook 2000 I use one generated by VS 2008 for Outlook 2003. If this is a problem, than I don't understand why everything (forwarding mails) works OK but closing the Outlook.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but I have also noticed outlook.exe in task manager when I have quit outlook sometimes and the newmail envelope appears even though outllok is not opened so it may just be a feature/bug :)
