hi... i'm relatively new to outlook task creation from visual basic. hope someone can help me... when i create an outlook task, i want to insert a link with a custom string... e.g. please see screenshot:
instead of the left screen, i would like to come up with the right screen. any help, tips or sample code would be highly appreciated... thank you very much in advance.
by the way, i'm using visual studio 2005, microsoft outlook 2003 and outlook interop from outlook 2003.

Imports xOutlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim xOutlookApp As New xOutlook.Application
Dim xNameSpace As xOutlook.NameSpace = xOutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
CreateTaskItem(xOutlookApp)
End Sub
Private Sub CreateTaskItem(ByRef xOutlookApp As xOutlook.Application)
Dim xNewTask As xOutlook.TaskItem = CType(xOutlookApp.CreateItem(xOutlook.OlItemType.olTaskItem), Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.TaskItem)
xNewTask.Subject = "My Task " & Now.ToString
xNewTask.PercentComplete = 50
xNewTask.StartDate = Date.Now
xNewTask.DueDate = Date.Now.AddDays(5)
xNewTask.Status = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlTaskStatus.olTaskInProgress
xNewTask.Complete = False
'''' setting the task body
xNewTask.Body = "Click here to view google." _
& Environment.NewLine & Environment.NewLine _
& "Test... http://www.google.com"
xNewTask.Save()
End Sub
