<QUOTE>
I am researching the availability of .net classes to intreact with ms outlook. Finally found one.

The following is a C# example(I assume it is .net) which looks convertible to OI , but I dont know how. Can anyone help.



using Outlook=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook



private void AssignTaskExample()

{

    Outlook.TaskItem task=Application.CreateItem(

        Outlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem) as Outlook.TaskItem;

    task.Subject=Tax Preparation";

    task.StartDate=DateTime.Parse("4/1/2007 8:00 AM");

    task.DueDate=DateTime.Parse("4/15/2007 8:00 AM");

    Outlook.RecurrencePattern pattern =

        task.GetRecurrencePattern();

    pattern.RecurrenceType=Outlook.OlRecurrenceType.olRecursYearly;

    pattern.PatternStartDate=DateTime.Parse("4/1/2007");

    pattern.NoEndDate=true;

    task.ReminderSet=true;

    task.ReminderTime=DateTime.Parse("4/1/2007 8:00 AM");

    task.Assign();

    task.Recipients.Add("accountant@example.com");

    task.Recipients.ResolveAll();

    task.Send();

}

Not really answering your question, but



]] Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook



Interop is dotNet naming convention for .Net wrapper class that calls COM objects. This suggests you can still use OLECreateInstance from OI to drive the underlying COM objects yourself, without .Net

<QUOTE>Ahh, thought COM sounded familiar, but forgot the relationship.

So that answers my question about outlook 2010 - outlook.application will work.

No wonder the C# code looked closer to OLE than .net



Thanks heaps(as usual)

<QUOTE>There is reference on the forum that OLE to Outlook is not possible due to changes to Outlook by Microsoft for the ILY virus.



Is this still the case, or are there ways to bypass the lock down and use this.

Hi Colin,



The latest versions of Office are less restrictive than Office 2003.

For example, Outllok 2007 will prevent scanning address books, but will allow creating an email.
