Outlook in VB.NET

[fniles]

I am using VB.NET 2005. I created a project using the Microsoft Outlook 8.0
Object Library (Object Model) in my previous machine. Now that I have a new
machine, when I try to compile that program in the new machine, it gives me
erros like "Type 'Outlook.Application' is not defined", "Type
'Outlook.NameSpace' is not defined".
I have MS Outlook in my new machine.
In the new machine when I go to "Add Reference", select the COM tab, the
only MS Outlook listed is "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library", while in
the previous machine both "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" and
"Microsoft Outlook 8.0 Object Model".
If I select "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library", in the program when I
type in "dim ol as new", only "OutlookMail" is listed, while in the previous
machine "Outlook" and "OutlookMail" are listed.
How can I compile this program in my new machine ?

Thank you.

But it's not a VBA question, unless I'm missing something.

I believe that you need to have the earliest version of outlook on the
development platform that you wish to support. Outlook 8.0 is Outlook '97,
so do you really need to support that?

[Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]]

There are no .NET specific programming groups for Outlook, the group Brian
recommended is as good as any.

You need the earliest version but Outlook 2000 was the first to support COM
Addins. Managed code for Outlook versions earlier than 2003 is funky and not
really the best way to go. There is a PIA for Outlook 2002 that can be
modified to work with Outlook 2000, but not everything works correctly. If
you now have Outlook 2003 on your computer program for that unless there's
some reason you still need to support an 11 year old version of Outlook.

What you're missing is that this group isn't geared for programming
questions. Since there is no .NET programming group, the vba group will, at
least, have other programmers visiting it. You MAY find a programmer here,
like Ken Slovak, but you're more likely to have your message viewed by
someone who can help if you're in a programming group. It's like being at a
convention and wanting to ask a medical question of a cardiologist. There
certainly might find that one of the attendees is a cardiologist, but your
chances are better if the convention is a physician's convention. (Although
you might run into a cardiologist in this newsgroup, too.)

Actually, this really threw me for a loop, until I just saw that this
message also went to Microsoft.Public.Outlook. I was viewing it from
Microsoft.Public.DotNet.Languages.VB, which does have programmers (and I
suppose cardiologists from time to time).
