vb.net and sending email with outlook

Question

Hopefully Caspar Boekhoudt or someone else, has a second to answer my question. I tried the code and interesting enough the c# path worked, however the vb.net path (could not compile) gave the following error on newMail.send() Send is ambiguous across inherited interfaces 'Outlook._MailItem' and 'Outlook.ItemEvents_Event I was hoping to break the ambiguity by dimensioning something down the "namespace tree" some how change the send to something like mysend dim mysend as Outlook.MailItem = new MailItem newMail.myssend BUT IT DIDN'T WORK
