Hi,

I am trying to create an addin in VB.NET which will handle
the Applicaiton Object's Itemsend event and move my mail
from sent items to a different local folder. So I did
something like this in the declarations section.

Dim WithEvents m_Outlook As Outlook.Application

And I wrote a handler for the ItemSend

Private Sub m_Outlook_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, ByRef
Cancel As Boolean) Handles m_Outlook.ItemSend

However, I put some trace code in and found that this
event was never called. Has any one tried the above
scenario and got any solutions?

Hi,

Did you assign the Application object to m_Outlook in the OnConnection
method? Does your AddIn get called at all? (Sorry if these are really
obvious questions :-) ).

Also try the following option in VS when you are debugging your AddIn to see
if there are errors in the interop layer or whatever:

Debug -> Exceptions -> Common Language Runtime Exceptions -> When the
exception is thrown -> Break into the de{*filter*}

Thanks Peter for the prompt reply.

To answer your questions:
1. Yes the add-in did get called. I wrote a log-dump in
onconnection with time stamp and it showed up!
2. I did try to assign the m_Application to Application
object inside a Try-Catch and got an exception written to
the log - the exception says "No such interface
supported", so it does look like there is some problem
with the interop. I will try what you have mentioned in
your reply and will keep you posted (Is it ok if I
directly mail you to your microsoft.com account bcuz I am
not sure whether you will be checking this newgroup
frequently?)

Thanks.

No worries.

Which version of Outlook are you using? If it is XP or 2003, are you using
the official PIAs? Although it's not recommended, you could try declaring
m_Application as Outlook.ApplicationClass or (if it exists)
Outlook._Application.

I check the newsgroups almost every day (although I don't read every
message... just the .NET related ones). It's better to keep the discussion
public so other people with the same problem can learn from the experience.

hi,

I am using outlook xp - and when I tried run the PIAs for
Office XP I got a few errors stating that 'unable to
update registry keys because it is being used by other
process' though I checked task manager and determined that
no office product was running.

However, got the component up and running! Turns out there
is a known issue where by the interop assemblies have
tight security for Outlook (Q309336). I followed the
instructions given in
http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/gosupport.asp?
Target=/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q309336

and it was a snap!!!

Thanx for helping me!

from the experience.
