Getting specified cast error while taking data from outlook

[vijayasingh]

I am trying to take contacts data from out look and Synchronize with our database. I am using .net 1.1 framework.
iam using following code.

OLCont = MyOLList.GetLas t 'CType(item, outlook.Contact Item)
Do While TypeName(OLCont ) <> "Nothing"
OLRow = OLTable.NewRow
OLRow(0) = 0
OLRow(1) = IIf(OLCont.Firs tName Is Nothing, "", OLCont.FirstNam e)
OLRow(2) = IIf(OLCont.Midd leName Is Nothing, "", OLCont.MiddleNa me)
OLRow(3) = IIf(OLCont.Last Name Is Nothing, "", OLCont.LastName )
OLRow(4) = IIf(OLCont.Full Name Is Nothing, "", OLCont.FullName )
OLTable.Rows.Ad d(OLRow)
OLCont = MyOLList.GetPre vious
Loop


problem is when i run this code in windows 2000 systems with outlook 2003 running properly. Its retrieving all contacts records from outlook properly

same code throws "specified cast not valid" error when i run in windows xp (service pack 2 ) with outlook 2003. some contacts records are retrieved but not all.

while parsing through contacts records only we are getting the above error.

please help me in this.

IIF is not my own method its a in build function in Vb.net

iam getting error in the following line

OLCont = MyOLList.GetPre vious

problem is it not coming windows 2000 system but coming in XP system

Also if 100 contacts are there means it parse till some 50 then throughing the error. i think the out look object may be corrupting while process through the records. still problem is not solved
