MailItem.Send event (not the method)

[jamiechen168]

Hello,

I am using .NET C# with VS 2005 for Outlook automation.

Can someone explain me how to use MailItem.Send event correctly?
What I discovered is MailItem inherits ItemEvents_10_Event interface
and _MailItem interface and both have "Send" defined. And _MailItem's
Send obscures ItemEvents_10_Event's Send.

MailItem
|
+ ItemEvents_10_Event (where "Send" is defined as an event) <= This
is what I need
+ _MailItem (where "Send" is defined as a method)

Even if I try to cast MailItem to ItemEvents_10_Event, I got a null for
it. Below is the example code,

// Below outLookEvent will turn to be null.
Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event outLookEvent =
(Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event) mailItem;
outLookEvent.Send += new .....

Does anyone ever use MailItem.Send event successfully?

Thanks

Hello,

Can someone who is knowledgeable in this area help me with this? Perhaps

I'd probably use code something like this (VS 2005, C#):

private Outlook.MailItem m_Mail;
m_Mail = Outlook.MailItem;

m_Mail.Send += new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(m_Mail.Send);

I'd declare m_mail at a module level of a class that won't go out of scope
so it won't get garbage collected. I might also add it to a hashtable to
keep it alive.
