Outlook programming, no GetNamespace

DanRoche · July 27th, 2006, 09:21 AM

'Outlook.Application' does not contain a definition for 'GetNamespace'(CS0117)

I'm just trying to setup a class to send an email. I'm just doing it for my own testing and learning. Anyway, it appears I'm the only one on the internet who has this problem.

I'm using SharpDevelop (icsharpcode.net)
I've added the COM Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library
I've added the COM SafeOutlook library (Redemption.dll)

here is my code so far

Code:

Outlook.Application olApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Outlook.NameSpace olName = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");

heh, that's it. I have equivalent code in Foxpro6 and it works fine.

any ideas?

Thanks

There was an error I got when I tried adding the Outlook 9.0 Object library but I didn't screen capture it and I couldn't reproduce it. I finally was able to do it by adding it as a reference to a blank project.

Here's the error:

Cannot import type library using .NET SDK 1.0. Some, but not all type libraries can successfully be imported without it.

I assume that's the root of my problem. I'm unfortunately on NT, so my options are limited. I'm going to try installing .NET SDK 1.1

annnnnnnnnnnnd .net sdk 1.1 can't be installed on NT.

So ends my journey.

Thanks for your help :(
