Outlook VBA .Send()( Error - Visual Basic .NET

Ivan Weiss

I am trying to send a test e-mail through my program using Outlook so
that I know my code works and I can submit office forms through e-mail
instead of paper. Here is my code:

Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Applica tion()
Dim objMail As MailItem =
objOutlook.Crea teItem(OlItemTy pe.olMailItem)

With objMail
.To = "Ju********@eli tefse.com"
.Subject = "Testing"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><HEA D></HEAD><BODY bgcolor = 'red'>" _
& "<font color = 'white'>Hello!</font>" _
& "</body></html>"
'.Display()
.Send()
End With

objMail = Nothing
objOutlook = Nothing

I have
Imports Microsoft.Offic e.Core
Imports Outlook
above my form class

However, the .Send() method returns the following error:

'Send' is ambiguous across the inherited interfaces 'Outlook._MailI tem'
and 'Outlook.ItemEv ents_10_Event'.

Does anyone know why I am getting this and how I can send my email
without the user having to click on send?

Hi Ivan,

If the articles that Jay has given haven't taken you all the way, you can
do
Dim objMail As _MailItem
which makes objMail explicitly take the type that has the Send method.

or keep objMail as it is and use
DirectCast (objMail, Outlook._MailIt em).Send
which uses the correct type just for the Send.

Regards,
Fergus

I've had nothing but trouble from the System.Net.Mail objects, but I finally need to make them work, and I can't for the life of me see what I'm doing wrong.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
