How to declare MAPI Session and Application in Windows Service?

[Afroze3]

hi all

i had made exe file that reads an email application. i want to do the same work by windows service, when i copied my codes to windows service project. it says the session object is not created, the error is in the line

Session = CreateObject("MAPI.Session") ' we use a session object of MAPI Component
Session.Logon(ProfileName:="OutLook", ProfilePassword:="*******")
Application = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
in the above line it says Session and Application is not declared.
Can any one know how to overcome this Error or problem? do i have to add any reference to the windows service application.

i had reference two dlls in my windows service.

it seems like you are using late binding... declare session & application variables as objects

You can also use the object types from the referenced Outlook library:

Dim Session As MAPI.Session
