Hi,

The exception is as follows:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullRef erenceException ' occurred in ConsoleApplicat ion1.exe,Additi onal information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

..
Can anybody help me pls....

my code is like this..


using System;
using System.Reflecti on; // to use Missing.Value
//TO DO: If you use the Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library, uncomment the following line.
//using Outlook = Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Outlo ok;

namespace ConsoleApplicat ion1
{
public class Class1
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Create the Outlook application.
Outlook.Applica tion oApp = new Outlook.Applica tion();

// Get the NameSpace information.
Outlook.NameSpa ce oNS = oApp.GetNamespa ce("mapi");

// Log on by using a dialog box to choose the profile.
oNS.Logon(Missi ng.Value, Missing.Value, true, true);

Console.WriteLi ne("searching folder");

// Alternate logon method that uses a specific profile.
// TODO: If you use this logon method,
// change the profile name to an appropriate value.
oNS.Logon("Your ValidProfile", Missing.Value, false, true);

// Get the default Contacts folder.
Outlook.MAPIFol der oContacts = oNS.GetDefaultF older(Outlook.O lDefaultFolders .olFolderContac ts);

// Get the Items collection from the folder.
Outlook.Items oItems = (Outlook.Items) oContacts.Items ;

int itemcount = oItems.Count;

// Get the first contact item in the Items collection.
Outlook.Contact Item oCt = (Outlook.Contac tItem)oItems.Ge tFirst();

Hi,

Why not try Advanced Outlook Express Repair at http://www.datanumen.c om/aoer/ ? It recovers several important Outlook Express dbx files for me and is really helpful!
