Default COMException

I am sorry, I know this is probably a dumb question, but this is all new to
me. I am using Outlook Object Model but I do not know if it is from a
Windows Service because it comes from the COM references in Visual
Studio.NET.

The project we have created takes user input to fill out an ASP.NET web
form. When the button click event occurs, the appointment item is written
to a Shared Outlook Calendar. I currenly am using Outlook 2003 and Visual
Studio 2005.

The question is not whether your code is running on an Exchange Server,
but whether you are using the Outlook Object Model from a Windows
*Service* (not Server).

I will not be running this on an Exchange server. I have built a web
application that accesses a Shared Outlook Calendar that sits on an
Exchange Server. I have downloaded the PIA's for Office 2003 and added
the COM reference to the project. I do not understand this error. It
seems to error on this line: Outlook.Application oApp = new
Outlook.ApplicationClass();

The rest of the code is as follows:

// Get the Mapi NameSpace and the Logon.

Outlook.NameSpace oNS = (Outlook.NameSpace)oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");



// Log on using dialog to choose a profile.

oNS.Logon(Missing.Value, Missing.Value, true, true);



Outlook.MAPIFolder olFolder = oNS.Folders["Public Folders"].Folders["All
Public Folders"].Folders["SRCPA Office Calender"];



// Define the string for the search criteria.

Outlook.Items oItems = olFolder.Items;



// Use the Find method to get single match.

string sFilter;

sFilter = "[Start] = '04/11/2007 11:59 PM' and [End] '04/11/2007 12:00
AM' and [Subject] = 'Troy Out'";

Outlook.AppointmentItem oAppt =
(Outlook.AppointmentItem)oItems.Find(sFilter);



Please help me understand what I have done wrong.

Thank you!

Right, the localhost server is local but that may not be the deployment
target. However, in any case the code should not be run server side, as
Dmitry also indicated.

I think she means that both the IIS and server and the client are on the
same machine.
Since this is C#, and IE does not run any .Net code the way it runs VB
and Java Scrips, I suspect that the code is actually executed in the
IIS server context (which is a service), and no Office app (inclusing
Outlook) should be used in any Windows service.
