Sending Email Through Lotus Notes From Silverlight

We have a LOB application written in silverlight that currently shoots emails out through Outlook via:

Dim outlook = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
...

This works great when the user has elevated permissions in the application. My question is, does anyone know how we go about doing the same with Lotus Notes? We have a customer that is requesting it.

Thanks

  • You can use Visual Basic to connect to Lotus Notes. See this IBM technote for an example: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21178583.

    There are other ways such as using Java but in your case using Visual Basic sounds like the easiest way.
