Hello devs!
We are encountering "Index out of bounds of array" exception when getting attachment from an Attachments collection and also when adding attachments to a mailItem.Attachments collection. The problem occurrs for some users only, and I am not able to reproduce it on the development environment. This is on Outlook 2016.
Sample code (removed COM object releasing for clarity):
var mailAttachments = mail.Attachments;
var attachmentCount = mailAttachments.Count;
try
{
for (int i = attachmentCount; i >= 1; i--)
{
Attachment attachment = null;
try
{
attachment = mailAttachments[i];
...
ERROR: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80020009): Datatabellen er utenfor grensene.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Attachments.get_Item(Object Index)
at SendExtender.ProcessAttachments(MailItem mail)
at SendExtender.Execute(MailItem mail)
Another sample:
var attachments = currMail.Attachments;
try
{
foreach (var f in fileNames)
{
try
{
attachments.Add(f, Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 1, Path.GetFileName(f));
}
catch
{
string repfile = Path.GetTempPath() + Path.GetFileName(f) + ".extension";
File.WriteAllText(repfile, f);
attachments.Add(repfile, Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, 1, Path.GetFileName(repfile));
...

Hello,
#1. Do you delete attachments in that loop?
#2. What code line generates the exception? Can you re-check this?

Hello
1. No
2. In each code sample it is the last line. In the second sample it is inside a catch, because the first attempt to add the file failed (most probably due to exchange server size limit). The second code sample is actually the most importatnt issue.
As said before - this does happen only for a few users. I was hoping there is some known problem with Attachments collection - maybe when adding twice, after first addition fails? So its internal counter is increased, but no attachment added, or so. |

1. Start with turning all other COM add-ins off.
2. Make sure your code releases all COM object in all branches. Say, do you release the COM object returned by Attachments.Add?
3. Try to debug the code by printing Attachments.Count before you get the exception.
4. Try to repair Office on the affected machines.

Hello Andrei
I am not releasing results of Attachments.Add - I will fix this. And will try with your other suggestions as well. Thanks for the tips. |

I have applied more COM releasing logic. It seemed to help to some extent, but the user is still getting the error in one particular case - replying to an email which has images, Outlook asks whether it should download them. When user chooses "No" and then tries to attach a file - same exception (index outside of bounds of array) is thrown on the Attachments.Add call. Other COM addins are disabled. What else can we do? |

Hello,
I suggest that you create a test add-in. The add-in should show a Ribbon button; clicking the button should add an attachment to the email being edited.
You unregister your main add-in, register the test one, reproduce the user actions above, and click the button to add an attachment. Does this produce the same exception? If not, this means, your add-in still contains unreleased COM objects.
I strongly suggest that you check section Releasing COM objects at https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-office-tips.php#releasing.

Please note that I am not able to reproduce the issue at all on my environment. I would have to create a dummy addin and distribute it to our users. |

Alas, this is often the case on this end.
You can get more info if you add a number of debug messages to your code; use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(). If the add-in is built in the Debug configuration, you can collect the messages at run time using DebugView (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx).
