CLR to integrate with Outlook Calendar

    We currently have a VB6 COM object which is called from a SQL stored procedure to read tables and add appointments in to users Outlook calendars.

    We've tested our system on a x64 SQL 2005 and the 32bit com object can't be instantiated. :unsure:

    We're rewriting the code as a CLR in VB.net but are unable to add a reference to Interop.Outlook because it is not an Assembly in SQL server, when trying to add the interop to SQL Server we get error about the version of stdole.dll etc.... :crazy:

    Does anybody have any idea how we can integrate with the Outlook Calendar from a CLR?? :crying:

    For a relatively safe approach with the least amount of development and testing, wrap your existing com object in a web service and publish the web service on a 32 bit web server.

    Then, all you have to do is reference and call the web service from the CLR on your 64 bit server.

    If you register your 32 bit VB6 COM object as a COM+ component you should be able to instantiate it in SQL 2005 x64
