A: 

you can use Outlook ActiveX library or CDO COM library, the best choose is to use the first one if you are sure user has installed outlook

OutlookCode.com and it's forums are always my first point of call with Outlook related programming. Also see the Office Developer Centre.

For your specific scenario the COM Add-ins page links to the following ATL/C++ sample.
