Type Outlook.Folder is not defined

That's what is more important than anything else

Type Outlook.Folder is not defined
Outlook.Folder in ADX COM AddIn

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
.................
 Dim folder As Outlook.Folder = TryCast(Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderTasks), Outlook.Folder)
        For Each cItem As Outlook.TaskItem In folder.Items
            Dim body As [String]
            If cItem.Body IsNot Nothing Then
                body = cItem.Body
                MessageBox.Show(body.ToString)         
            End If
        Next

.................
I try to retrive a list of tasks from the Outlook.
The code above works well when I'm doing a New Outlook AddIn from VS2010 default template but I got "Type Outlook.Folder is not defined" in your ADX COM AddIn.

LATER EDIT:
:| fixed somehow, found your way to access the MAPI folder

Hi mdfrt,

This occurs because the Outlook version-neutral interop doesn't contain the definition of the Folder class (introduced in Outlook 2007).

I suppose you found http://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-designers.php#interop-assemblies, correct?

Another usful article in your case would be http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2010/03/16/interop-assemblies-late-binding/.

Good luck!
