BC30002: Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application' is not defined

EthanCleary

From Visusl Web Developer 2005 Express, he application runs fine with approriate reference added.
But once I deploy the application to the web server I get " BC30002: Type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application' is not defined"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Gosh

Can you post code?

FSL

If when you deployed the application you didn't include the dll the 'reference' referred to and any dependancies and the Web Server had not already got them all installed then the apllication would fail.

This is the code I have worked on so far. Its working fine on my localhost!I have tried to drop the required .dll's into my VSstudio 8 bin directory on my server but there is none!

Seriuosly scratching my head here

Dim objOExp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application
Dim objAppt As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.AppointmentItem
Const olAppointmentItem = 1
Const olMeeting = 1

Dim StartDate As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(txtBdate.Text)
Dim EndDate As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(txtEdate.Text)

Dim StartTime As String = txtBtime.Text
Dim EndTime As String = txtEtime.Text

objOExp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
objAppt = objOExp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)
With objAppt
.Subject = objMail.Subject
.Start = StartDate + " " + txtBtime.Text
.End = EndDate + " " + txtEtime.Text

.Location = ddlLocation.SelectedValue
.Subject = "New Event Requested"
.Body = "A new event is scheduled for " & txtBdate.Text _
& " Please Review"

.ReminderSet = True
.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 15
' make it a meeting request
.MeetingStatus = olMeeting
'.AllDayEvent = False
.RequiredAttendees = "someone@email.com"
.RequiredAttendees = cblStaff.SelectedValue
.RequiredAttendees = txtEmail.Text

You can not just drop the dlls onto the server they probably need registering.

e.g. on the server run the following command

regsvr32 fullpath/name of the DLL

It will then register if it is a self registering DLL. If it is not self registering then it is unlikely to require registration.

Gosh

Or create a bin folder in the root folder if it doesn't exist and drop it in there

Thanks people, but I forgot to update my assembly references in my .config file!!
.
.
.
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Office, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral"/>
</assemblies>

Its working fine now!

Yet again, thanks for the help!!
