Outlook and C# problem :(

Hi I am woking with Outlook and c#. I have Outlook 2000 installed on my machine. And hence I have Microsoft Outlook 9.0 Object Library (msoutl9.olb). I am using the following code to access each item in the default outbox folder. I am not able to access individual items in the collection. I am getting the following error: F:\PracFold\mydotnet\myc#\prthree\sol_three\prj_three\Form1.cs(142): foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'Outlook.Items' because 'Outlook.Items' does not contain a definition for 'GetEnumerator', or it is inaccessible Is the Outlook.Items collection not supported by Outlook 2000 ??? My code is : public void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { try { Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application(); Outlook._NameSpace oNameSpace = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI"); oNameSpace.Logon(null,null,false,true); Outlook.MAPIFolder oOutboxFolder = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderOutbox); MessageBox.Show("There are " + oOutboxFolder.Items.Count.ToString() + " items in the Outbox.","Mails in Outbox"); Outlook.Items olMailItems = oOutboxFolder.Items; foreach(Outlook.MailItem olMail in olMailItems) { MessageBox(olMail.To.ToString()); } oNameSpace.Logoff(); } catch(Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message,"Prasad, an error occured !!!"); } } Please help me with this.

As the error states, Outlook.Items collection doesn't provide a GetEnumerator method, so it doesn't provide an IEnumerator interface, so it can't be used in a ForEach construct. I would suggest using a traditional FOR loop, like this: for (int j=0; j < olMailItems.Count; j++) { MessageBox.Show(olMailItems.Item(j).ToString()); } However, I couldn't get this to work. The Items array says that it contains 183 (I changed it to the INBOX), and then the array seems to have no items in it. I get array out of bounds. I have Outlook XP.
