Hi Guys,I am trying to get the mail IDs from the contacts from the MS OUTLOOK. This is the code i am using now, but not working....ERROR:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Dim oApp As Outlook.Application            Dim oname As Outlook.NameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")            Dim ofolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder            Dim cntfld As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oname.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts)oname.Logon("username", "password", True, True)            Dim addr As Outlook.AddressList = oname.AddressLists.Item(0)            ofolder = oname.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts)            Dim oMailItem As Outlook.MailItem = oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)            oMailItem.To = ofolder.Items.Item(0)            oMailItem.Subject = "This is a test mail"            oMailItem.Body = "This is a test Mail"            oMailItem.Save()            oMailItem.Send()

TIA

here is an article that returns contact information from outlook...not sure if will work for you...it uses SharePoint...As far as I know there is no direct way to access Outlook through ASP.Net...you have to create some 'middleware' this can be a .Net desktop application that receives and stores the data in a form your webpage can read.http://blogs.msdn.com/jamescon/archive/200.../06/149709.aspx

I want to access the Outlook in the local system, think can be done without any middleware. Found a reference MS Outlook 9.0 in COM. another change was, "impersonate=true". This code below works to a certain extent but i'am not able to get the mail ID's, any suggestions. Thanks Dim oApp As New Outlook.ApplicationDim oname As Outlook.NameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")Dim cCalendar As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oname.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar)Dim ofolder As Outlook.MAPIFolderDim cnt As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oname.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts)Response.Write("Folder Name = " + cnt.Name)Response.Write("<br>")Response.Write("Items in the Folder = ")Response.Write(cnt.Items.Count.ToString)Response.Write("<br>")Response.Write("<li>" + cnt.Items.Item(1).ToString)

This is the full page code, i am testing this in a seperate page.Dim oApp As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.ApplicationClass Dim oname As Outlook.NameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI") Dim ofolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim cntfld As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oname.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts) cntfld.Items.Sort("Email1Address") Response.Write(cntfld.Items.Item(1)) Dim t As Outlook.ContactItem t = cntfld.Items.Item(1) Response.Write(t.Email1Address)What i noticed is that when i comment the code in the red, i get the o/p somthing like this. for the line in GREENSystem.__ComObjectBut when I uncomment the RED part it is not displaying the page. Loading take a very long time, what could be wrong.......
