I’m unable to open .ost file in C# code. I have written lines of code in C# language in Visual Studio 2015. After writing lines of code I’ve faced so many errors in code. I have used console command inside a function that executes scheduled task.

My lines of codes are-
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application objOutlookApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.
NameSpace objNamespace = objOutlookApplication.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder objMAPIFolder = null;
try
{

objMAPIFolder = (MAPIFolder)objNamespace.OpenSharedFolder(@"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\abc", null, null, null);
Folder objFolder = (Folder)objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
string name = objFolder.FullFolderPath;
}

catch (StackOverflowException ex)
{
// MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}


Error Message:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled
Message="Invalid shared folder."

ErrorCode=-2147352567

I have tried to search this error message on CSharpForums and found nothing.

Could you please specify the error is on which line exactly?. I had faced a similar issue in past. You could try to excluding NULL values and see if this still persists. For reference check out :
