I would like to create an outlook message with a subject and some attachments for the user to send when they are ready. I have the file paths for the attachments.
Basically the user needs to click a button on the application and that open an outlook message window with a predefined message and a few attachments. They should then be able to modify and add the required "To" etc before sending via outlook.
Im trying to prepare outlook message (with prefilled subject, attachment etc.) and open it for the user in outlook.
Outlook is 2007, Win 7.0.
Problem is, that I cannot instantiate Outlook.Application. Everytime it fall with ActiveX error (cannot create instance) or CLS ID identifier is invalid.
I tried (as reference have outlook 12 and office 12 object library)
Dim objOutlook As New Outlook.Application - CLS ID error
objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") - ActiveX error
objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application", "localhost") - ActiveX error
I found a lot of threads in net, but nothing works for me (always same error on PCs of other developers too).

I have an image in my VB.NET Picture box. I would like to attach it to the email message I'm sending through Outlook without having to save it to the drive anywhere. Is it possible to do such a thing?

When I comment out the attachment line it works perfectly fine, otherwise it throws a COMError. I haven't been able to find any real good information about attaching an email that way, or if it's even possible. If I can't do it this way I plan on just saving the file to some random(ish) name in C:TEMP, but it would be nicer if I didn't have to worry about that.
i just wanted to find out if it is possible to open an attachment in an outlook email?
so for example:
With outlookMessage.Attachments
attCount = .Count

View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. I'm using VS2010, and am writing an app that must allow a user to drag an attachment from an Outlook e-mail onto a listbox and have the listbox populated with the contents of the file. It would just be a text file containing filenames, one per line.
View 10 RepliesI want to do drag and drop with an email attachment (Outlook). The DragDrop event handler comprises the following lines of code If e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileGroupDescriptor") Then Dim ms As System.IO.MemoryStream = CType(e.Data.GetData("FileGroupDescriptor"), System.IO.MemoryStream)which should be the beginning for retrieving the name of the file to be dropped. -- BUT, after executing the second line, ms is Nothing and stream operations (seek or read) with ms fail. Why? How can ms be Nothing if e.Data.GetDataPresent("FileGroupDescriptor") was True?

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew a way to have vb extract an attachment from an outlook email and save it to a specified directory. What I have is a program that when a file (outlook attachment) is dropped onto the main form it saves that file to a specific directory. I have the following code which seems to work for anything other than Outlook (possibly because outlook's drag and drop feature is defined differently?):
Code:

I am using VB.net to send my mails through outlook. Where i am giving the resource path for the pictures inserted in to it.
But Email shows the inline pictures as attachments. what could be the reason?
The important thing is that this is not happening all the time. if we send 5 to 10 times we get the expected result for 2 or 3 times.
i explored some of the forums , got answers like 'changing the settings, security settings of the office outlook. that too is not succeeded.

I'm writing my program in VB.Net,Part of my program is supposed to create a .eml file containing either an xml or a pdf file or both as attachments. Prior to writing this program, I had never seen what a .eml file looks like, let alone an .eml file with attachments(I never used any of the outlooks), so I got someone to send me an email containing both these attachments and save the .eml file, so I could use this as a template in my own program.However, I noticed that the pdf file, after having been attached, is a huge string of letters(see below). Probably some sort of encoding. My problem is, my program is going to be creating several different pdf files and adding them as attachments to .eml files. How do I encode the different pdf files into a similar huge string of text as the one below? Or am I going about this the wrong way? What would be an alternative way to do this? Because having to encode that long string of text seems like it would be a very daunting task.[code]
