Invokeing mailitem.display from asp.net possible?

[John Scalco]

Hi,
I'm writing a simple page (asp.net) - with code behind and all that good
stuff and I would like to display the a new mail dialog (MailItem.Display())
from inside that web page when a button is clicked.

This page web app will only be running on the intranet - not internet.
I'm getting 'access denied' when I go to create the Outlook application
instance.

Is there something with the permissions I can set to get this to work ?

thanks,
Sincerely,
J

Hi John,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you wants to show the MailItem
dialog in server side.
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

Firstly we do not recommend automation office products in serverside.

Secondly, since the asp.net's process is running at another desktop which
is different from the default desktop which will see after we log onto the
windows. So we do not do the UI interactive operation in server, because we
can not guarantee the UI behavior in the desktop where the asp.net process
is running.

If you wants to display the client side's outlook data, you can use the
Outlook View Control.

Please apply my suggestion above and let me know if it helps resolve your
problem.

Can you tell us what do you wants to do?May be there will be another
solution.
