ASP.NET code runs on the Web server. If you open Outlook from ASP.NET, it will open on the Web server, not on the user's computer. Is that what you want?

If you want the user to click a link and have an e-mail open with a specific address in the To field, you can simply use a mailto link:

<a href="mailto:address@domain.com">Click here to send an e-mail</a>

this should spawn on the client machine not the web server. but then again im using an all in one so ....
dont forget to import the outlook namespace at the top of your codebehind page

Imports outlook

Dim objOutlk As New Outlook.Application 'Outlook
Const olMailItem As Integer = 0
Dim objMail As New System.Object
objMail = objOutlk.CreateItem(olMailItem) 'Email item
objMail.To = emaila.Text
objMail.cc = "" 'Enter an address here To include a carbon copy; bcc is For blind carbon copy's
'Set up Subject Line
objMail.subject = "Quality Assurance Letter"
'To add an attachment, use:
'objMail.attachments.add("C:\MyAttachmentFile.txt")
dim msg as string
msg = "body test msg"
objMail.body = msg
'Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
objMail.display()
'Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
'Clean up
objMail = Nothing
objOutlk = Nothing

hope this helps

Hi,

I have used the code which you have posted in VB.NET in C# ,iam getting following Errors.

Error 40 'object' does not contain a definition for 'To' E:\WWT\Example\OurlookMail.aspx.cs 34 21 E:\WWT\
Error 41 'object' does not contain a definition for 'cc' E:\WWT\Example\OurlookMail.aspx.cs 35 21 E:\WWT\
Error 42 'object' does not contain a definition for 'subject' E:\WWT\Example\OurlookMail.aspx.cs 38 21 E:\WWT\
Error 43 'object' does not contain a definition for 'body' E:\WWT\Example\OurlookMail.aspx.cs 43 21 E:\WWT\
Error 44 'object' does not contain a definition for 'display' E:\WWT\Example\OurlookMail.aspx.cs 45 21 E:\WWT\

Here is My C# Code:
Outlook.Application objOutlk = new Outlook.Application();
//Outlook
const int olMailItem = 0;
object objMail = new object();
objMail = objOutlk.CreateItem(olMailItem);
//Email item
objMail.To = emaila.Text;
objMail.cc = "";
//Enter an address here To include a carbon copy; bcc is For blind carbon copy's
//Set up Subject Line
objMail.subject = "Quality Assurance Letter";
//To add an attachment, use:
//objMail.attachments.add("C:\MyAttachmentFile.txt")
string msg;
msg = "body test msg";
objMail.body = msg;
//Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
objMail.display();
//Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
//Clean up
objMail = null;
objOutlk = null;


Please reply me the action which i need to take.

Thanks in Advance...

vb.net to c#

 {
    
    
     Outlook.Application objOutlk = new Outlook.Application();
     //Outlook
     const int olMailItem = 0;
     object objMail = new object();
     objMail = objOutlk.CreateItem(olMailItem);
     //Email item
     objMail.To = emaila.Text;
     objMail.cc = "";
     //Enter an address here To include a carbon copy; bcc is For blind carbon copy's
     //Set up Subject Line
     objMail.subject = "Quality Assurance Letter";
     //To add an attachment, use:
     //objMail.attachments.add("C:\MyAttachmentFile.txt")
     string msg;
     msg = "body test msg";
     objMail.body = msg;
     //Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
     objMail.display();
     //Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
     //Clean up
     objMail = null;
     objOutlk = null;
 }

although Refractor 2.0 does the same thing

Hi,
Thanks for your Reply,i already used same code as below,

Outlook.Application objOutlk = new Outlook.Application();
//Outlook
const int olMailItem = 0;
object objMail = new object();
objMail = objOutlk.CreateItem(olMailItem);
//Email item
objMail.To = emaila.Text;
objMail.cc = "";
//Enter an address here To include a carbon copy; bcc is For blind carbon copy's
//Set up Subject Line
objMail.subject = "Quality Assurance Letter";
//To add an attachment, use:
//objMail.attachments.add("C:\MyAttachmentFile.txt")
string msg;
msg = "body test msg";
objMail.body = msg;
//Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
objMail.display();
//Use this To display before sending, otherwise call objMail.Send to send without reviewing
//Clean up
objMail = null;
objOutlk = null;


but iam getting same errors as below,

objMail.To ==> objMail Dosen't Contain a Definition for "To" and "Cc" and all

is just contains "Equals", "GetHashCode","GetType","ToString".

Please Suggest me,but it is perfectly executed in VB.NET.

Thanks In Advance...
