Outlook with C# - Version Independent

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi,

Somebody would know to give information about to create an email with
outlook (to create a email and open it in outlook) with C#?

I would not like to use PIA of the Office, because I don't know which
the version of the Outlook the users will be using.

Therefore, it would like to know if exists some way to create an email
and to open the same in outlook, without using the PIA.

Regards,
Fernando Botelho

I think that if you import the COM interfaces from a type-library you'll get
a wizard-manufactured interop assembly that should remain backwards
compatible with earlier versions.

Outlook 2000 Note: The generated Interop Assembly for Outlook 2000 does not
expose events {NewMail, ItemAddedToFolder, etc...}.

There is a knowledge base article out there about how to fix this - you have
to disassemble the generated IA, modify the IL to expose events, and then
reassemble it. There is a knowledge base Q-number that describes the
procedure...
