It's pretty much the same as what you would do VBA. You just need to
add a COM reference to the Microsoft Outlook Object Library 11.0
(IIRC) and then just do what you would normally do. You might want to
add the necessary Import statements as well.

Thanks,

Couldn't tell you. I don't use the PIA for the limited Office interop
I do, I reference the object library directly. Perhaps you should just
try it and find out?

Thanks,

Hi

I need to develop for Outlook 2003 and upwards in my app.

1. If I develop for OL2003 would it be compatible (as far as email sending)
with later OL versions?

2. I am familiar with OL programming in VB6/VBA but unfamiliar with how to
use OL2003 Interop Assemblies. Is there a link that I can see to implement
my first code using OL2003 Interop Assemblies for sending emails from .net
via OL2003?

Many Thanks

Regards

If you have Outlook 2007 you can't really install the Outlook 2003 PIA's,
certainly not in the GAC. You really should have an Outlook 2003 machine or
virtual machine to develop on if you want to support or test with Outlook
2003. If you have a non-MS PIA for Outlook 2003 then you can install that in
the installation folder instead of the GAC on Outlook 2007, but you'd need
to get hold of a non-MS Outlook 2003 PIA.

Do I need to have OL2003 on my PC as I currently have 2007? I was hoping by
downloading 2003 assemblies I would not have to have OL2003.

Thanks

Regards
