Sending Email using Outlook and VB.net

[ca8spo]

I'm trying to send an email automatically using the Outlook 10.0 object library reference in VB.net

I'm using the following code:

Public Class OutlookMail

Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim oOutboxFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Function SendOutlookItem()

oApp = New Outlook.Application()
oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI&quot

oNameSpace.Logon("", "", True, True)

oOutboxFolder = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderOutbox)

Dim oMailItem As Outlook.MailItem = oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)

oMailItem.To = "someone@somewhere.co.uk"
oMailItem.Subject = "test"
oMailItem.Body = "test"
oMailItem.SaveSentMessageFolder = oOutboxFolder

oMailItem.Send()

End Function

End Class



The problem is that I'm getting a build error -

"'Send' is ambiguous across the inherited interfaces 'Outlook._MailItem' and 'Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event'."


Does anyone know how to solve this?

Cheers
Simon

Simon,

This is an unnecessary COM interface. Look up the class
System.Web.Mail

It should give you everything you need.
