Hi

iam trying to write a dll in vb.net which automatically traps an incoming
email from outook and reads and parses the message. After doing that it
takes some information from the message and populates the sql server
database.this dll should work for a generic mapi setting and code should be
portable to other machines .... can somone help how to start with this.

thanks

afsheen,
What do you mean by "should work for a generic mapi setting"?

You can use the fully supported Outlook object model with VB.NET, however
you will be tied to Outlook.

You could use the CDO 1.2.1 object model with VB.NET, which is not
supported, however I have had success with it.

Also is this with Exchange Server accounts or stand alone Outlook
installations? With Exchange Server I would consider a server side rule that
calls into a VB.NET "COM" component, rather the a VB.NET component that
calls into Exchange Server...

Hope this helps
