Why i am getting the following error? I imported all the assembly references that i need.

Error	3	'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Folders' does not contain a definition for 'Item' and no extension method 'Item' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Folders' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)	D:\MIT\project\project development three\E-mail filter\E-mail filter\Main Form.cs	343	57	E-mail filter

following is the code that i tried:

C#

OutLook._Application olApp = new OutLook.ApplicationClass();
OutLook._NameSpace olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI"); OutLook._Folders oFolders;
oFolders = olNS.Folders;
OutLook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders.Item("Public Folders");
oFolders = oPublicFolder.Folders;
OutLook.MAPIFolder oAllPFolder = oFolders.Item("All Public Folders");
oFolders = oAllPFolder.Folders;
OutLook.MAPIFolder oMyFolder = oFolders.Item("My Public Folder");
Console.Write(oMyFolder.Name);

If you read the error carefully, you will find it's not the missing assembly error. It's actually sort of wrong reference to an assembly.
To be more clear, you are trying to access certain properties/methods that are not exposed in the assembly that you have imported/referenced.

You just need to refer the correct Interope DLL, that has all those properties/methods exposed that you are trying to use.

See, thats your issue. Code that you are referring to is for Outlook 2002.

Either get Outlook 2002 dll or make your code as per new one. I would go for new one as i rarely believe anyone would be using Outlook 2002 anymore!

I would suggest you to look here [^]of what you need.

BTW, have a look at this article if this helps:

This might be compatible.
