Hello, using VB .NET

(the cheap one, not the whole VS one)

trying to add \winnt\system32\msmapi32.ocx as a control. I can do that and I get mapimessages and mapisession over in my tool box.

When I try to drag and drop them over to my program I get the message "you do not have a license to run this activex control".

the same thing worked fine for me in VS6 (and now im trying to re-write a VB6 program into .NET)

I really hope its not just because I have the cheap version of VB.NET. I cant believe because of that they would restrict licensing of something like MAPI.

:confused:

Thanks, anyone reading this... oh and type slowly, im kind of a beginner...

:confused:
 
Its really nothing to do with VS.Net licensing as those controls do not ship as part of VS.Net but VB6.
To get them to work you will need to install VB 6 on the system you are developing with, however Im really not sure what the legal issues are with shipping them.

Thanks for the reply

I thought that msmapi32.ocx would be included/installed with outlook express/outlook, rather than vb6..... cause I never have had vb6 on this machine I am working on, and I do have that ocx file... i was thinking I wouldnt have to ship and dlls, they would already be there (this is a limited distribution of this software, and we have some control over the destination PCs)

thank you
