Hi Chandra,
Please try this code, i have just tested it on my PC from a web service and it works without any problems:
AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager securityManager1 = new AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager();
Outlook.Application outlookApp = null;
Outlook.NameSpace outlookNamespace = null;
Outlook.MailItem oMsg = null;
try
{
outlookApp = new Outlook.Application();
if (outlookApp != null)
{
outlookNamespace = outlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
if (outlookNamespace != null)
{
outlookNamespace.Logon("Outlook", Missing.Value, true, true);
securityManager1.ConnectTo(outlookApp);
securityManager1.DisableOOMWarnings = true;
try
{
oMsg = outlookApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) as Outlook.MailItem;
if (oMsg != null)
{
//...
}
}
finally
{
securityManager1.DisableOOMWarnings = false;
securityManager1.Disconnect(outlookApp);
}
outlookNamespace.Logoff();
}
}
}
finally
{
if (outlookApp != null)
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(outlookApp);
outlookApp = null;
}
if (outlookNamespace != null)
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(outlookNamespace);
outlookNamespace = null;
}
if (oMsg != null)
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMsg);
oMsg = null;
}
}

Hi Chandra,
Do you have secman.dll registered on the PC?
If it?Â?Ð?és not registered try to register it manually from the command line:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Outlook Security Manager\secman.dll"
Did it help? |

Hi,
I successfully registered the dll and executed the code, still getting the same error.
It did not help.
Error:
System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
at AddinExpress.Outlook.IOutlookSecurityManager2.Connect(Object vTarget)
at AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager.ConnectTo(Object outlookApp)
Thanks, |

Hi Chandra,
I think the problem is that the Web service works as multi-threaded (MTA) application.
I created a test project for you and have sent it by email. Please check your inbox.
It uses a STA background thread for calling the Security Manager methods.
Please test it on your PC and let me know about the results. |

The problem is resolved partially with the solution you suggested above.If I execute the web service with the web properties to use the Visual Studio development server instead of publishing the web service as a virtual directory it is working fine.But If I create a virtual directory, it is failing at this last line of code below when Activator returns an instance of Outlook application object.I get a COM Exception[E INVALID] and the web service is hanging up and timing out.
[CODE]
public void SendMailThreaded()
{
AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager securityManager1 = new AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager();
Outlook.Application outlookApp = null;
Outlook.NameSpace outlookNamespace = null;
Outlook.MailItem oMsg = null;
try
{
Type OutlookType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application");
outlookApp = Activator.CreateInstance(OutlookType) as Outlook.Application;
can you please check if you also get the same error.
Thanks,
Chandra |

Hi Chandra,
I found the article for you:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757
In this article Microsoft states:
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.
Also I found that this is probably related to the DCOM security configuration. The following article is about Excel, but the same settings probably apply to Outlook as well: http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2006/03/02/589.aspx
You can try to modify those settings on your web server. |
