Error getting Namespace

[Peter Krikelis]

Hi,

I am trying to automate the Outlook so that I can get all
new messages received and look at them.

I have added refference "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object
Library" and written code:

private Outlook.Application oApp;
private Outlook._NameSpace oNameSpace;

public OutlookMail()
{

oApp = new Outlook.Application();
oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
}

And that the line: oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
it says that Outlook.Application does not contain a
definition for "GetNamespace". It does not contain the
definition for the CreateItem that I used to create new
Outlook._MailItem item.

What might be the problem?

Thatks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I can use the "Microsoft Outlook 10.0 Object Library" component well.
I think you should check the "References" folder in the Solution Explorer
if "Outlook" is added.
Then, you can check in the Object Browser window, if interop.outlook
assembly's Outlook|Application|_Application interface has the member
GetNamespace and CreateItem.

Btw: To get all the messages recieved like this:
oApp = new Outlook.Application();
oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder
folder=oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
Outlook.MailItem item=(Outlook.MailItem)folder.Items .Item(the item number
you want to display);
item.Display(null);

It works well on my machine.

Hope this helps,
