    Do not use VS 2003 do debug .NET Fx 2.0 - use VS 2005 instead.

  • Tduffy77

    Interesting. Are you sure it is the .NET Fx 2.0 that broke your add-in (I suspect it may be incorrect type lib registration for outlook) What happens if you lock back to .NET Fx 1.1 (e.g. by placing and outlook.exe.config file). See this link for the content of the file. Just remember to remove the .config file after you have done the configuration - it is a bad practice to lock to .NET Fx 1.1 since it will prevent add-ins build on .NET Fx 2.0 from running.

    As a workaround (which is also a recommended practice) I would suggest to not cast your pointer to MailItemClass, but rather to a MailItem interface.

    I think the problem I am having may be similiar to this but I am not sure about all the .Net framework talk. I am a bit of a novice. I have installed, uninstalled and installed again MS Office Small Business Edition 2003 and then Business Contact Manager Update for MS Office Outlook 2003. I have downloaded all the updates for the Office and the Contact Manager and when I try to create an email, Outlook gives me the error, MS Word - "Interface not Registered". So for some reason Outlook is thinking that MS Word is not installed or installed incorrectly, although, it is installed just fine and repaired. I have downloaded all updates including the .NET 2.0 framework. This problem just started today for some reason. Prior to today everything was working fine. Please help!. Thanks

    Hi Misha,

    I have developed application for Outlook 2003 using Outlook Primary Interop Assemblies (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll). I am interating each mailitem in the inbox to do some processing. While I cast the MailItem of the inbox I get the following error:

    {"Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00063034-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."}

    I have following block of code:

    int nCount = objFindItems.Count;

    for (int index = 1; index <= nCount; index++) // while (itrFindItems.MoveNext())

    {

    _MailItem objEmail = (_MailItem)(objFindItems[index]);

    }

    Please help me where I am missing.

    thanks in advance

    Sanjeev

    The class is marked non-cocreateable. In 1.1 the framework would use an optimization to allow casting to the COM object in spite of this, but it was removed in 2.0. As Misha suggested, the solution is to use the interface rather than casting directly to the COM object.

  • Jason Nadrowski

    I have above problem because of typecasting
    Privicesly it was working fine in Frame work 1.1

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItemClass sendMial = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItemClass)outlook.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

    when i changed frame work 2.0 i had above problem , i solved flowing way

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem sendMial = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)outlook.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

    chand.


  • Carlitos

    I am not sure how you have created objFindItems collection, but it looks like it does not entirely consists of mail items (it might contain appointments, tasks etc). If you try to cast something that is not a Mail Item to _MailItem interface - this is the error you are going to get. My suggestion to you is to check item's type before you do the cast.

  • caligula

    Thank you so much Micha!

    I have been struggling with same problem for some days now and when i used the interfaces instead of the classes (in my defence, it took over the code from somebody else ;-) my outlook add-in worked.

    I have one remaining problem, however. The outlook add-in works fine when i start outlook, but whe i try to debug using VS2003, Outlook crashes.

    Is there another way than using the config file to solve this problem

    Thanks,

    Maarten
