Hi

I am trying to send meeting email to outlook user from asp.net

my code is as follows:

oAppointment.Subject = "Testing Appointments with OOM in VB.NET"

oAppointment.Body = "Test Appointment"

oAppointment.ReminderSet = True

' oAppointment.BusyStatus = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlBusyStatus.olTentative

oAppointment.AllDayEvent = False

oAppointment.RequiredAttendees = someemail@address.com

oAppointment = Nothing

oApplication = Nothing

I get the error message "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004004 (E_ABORT)"

Am I doing somthing wrong? what is the right way? Thanks in advance.

I found the solution. There is nothing wrong with the code. But I didn't have email set up in my outlook, so at runtime this error was thrown.

After I set up the email in outlook, it performed the desired action.

Moni,

I have the same error. You said it worked after you set up email in outlook. How do you mean set up email. I am using a domain account to send these appointments. I can login as that user and open outlook and manually send emails and appointments. Is this enough or is there something else I am missing? Thanks.

My development machine didn't have outlook in it. You must have Outlook in the server to send meeting request from outlook. Since my application is web based and the hosting server doesn't have Outlook in it , i have to use an alternate way to do that. (the code worked when i installed outlook in the development server). I used .ics calendar to send meeting request through system.net. It works like charm.If you want i can forward you  the class. (i am out of office today and tomorrow).
