Error Sending email with Outlook

I'm trying to send email with Outlook. I've read the article "Sending Emails Through Outlook using C# and VB.NET" but when I try to get the Outlook.Application I get an error when I try to run it. //Error An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in OutlookTest.exe Additional information: QueryInterface for interface Outlook._Application failed. Here's what I do: //globals private Outlook.Application objApplication; private Outlook.NameSpace objNameSpace; //in a function objApplication = new Outlook.Application(); objNameSpace = objApplication.GetNamespace("MAPI"); objNameSpace.Logon(null,null,true,true); Outlook.MailItem objMailItem = (Outlook.MailItem)objApplication.CreateItemOutlook.OlItemType.olMailItem); objMailItem.To = "[email protected]"; objMailItem.Subject = "Test"; objMailItem.Body = "as dfkasjf a;sdfj ;alsdjf ;sadf"; objMailItem.Send(); I've also tried to do the same in VB but I get the same error. I'm using Visual Studio .Net 2003 with the Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Library. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

Hey, U've missed out "(" Outlook.MailItem objMailItem = (Outlook.MailItem)objApplication.CreateItemOutlook.OlItemType.olMailItem); it should be like this Outlook.MailItem objMailItem = (Outlook.MailItem)objApplication.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
