Consider the following code:
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook; using OutlookApp = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application; namespace OutlookInterop { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { OutlookApp outlookApp = new OutlookApp(); MailItem mailItem = outlookApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem); mailItem.To = "test@test.com"; mailItem.Subject = "Test Email Alert"; mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Test email body.</body></html>"; mailItem.Display(false); } } }
This code works fine when I run it on Visual Studio, but when I use it in BluePrism, I get the following compiler error:
Page: Send Email Alert c# Stage: Code1 Type: Error Action: Validate Description: Compiler error at line 2: Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) Repairable: No
I think I have referenced the correct assemblies in BluePrism i.e.:
And then this is the code inside the actual code stage:
OutlookApp outlookApp = new OutlookApp(); MailItem mailItem = outlookApp.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem); //this would be line 2 mailItem.To = "test@test.com"; mailItem.Subject = "Test Email Alert"; mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Test email body.</body></html>"; mailItem.Display(false);
So, why would that code work on Visual Studio but not in BluePrism? what is this cast that is missing?
