having error with Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application

[urgent!!]

I've referenced the COM object of MS Project but when I copy the code below
and run it in vb.net I get error during design time saying that type
Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application is not defined. what does it
means?

Dim pj As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application
pj.Visible = True
pj.FileOpen(txtSourceFile.Text.ToString())
Debug.Print(pj.ActiveProject.Name)
Debug.Print(pj.ActiveProject.Tasks.Count)
Dim tsk As Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Task
For Each tsk In pj.ActiveProject.Tasks
Debug.Print(tsk.Name)
Next

A Design Time Error? In VB.NET, this would mean the term is underlined with
a blue wavy line. If that is the case, then you have not correctly
referenced the object. I just tried it with both Project11 and 12 and they
both work fine on this machine.

I can reproduce a runtime error only under three conditions.

1. No reference defined for MS Project object.
2. pj.FileOpen(txtSourceFile.Text.ToString())

This line assumes the existance of a TextBox on the form named txtSourceFile
and there is a complete path entered into txtSourceFile. That is, you have
to assign the text property of txtSourceFile to a project file. Example:

txtSourceFile.Text="C:\Folder\Project1.mpp"
Actually, any string will work:

pj.FileOpen("C:\abc\myProjectFile.mpp")

Do you have a blue line under txtSourceFile indicating the object is not
defined?
Sorry for getting elementary, I just want to cover all the bases.

3. When I try to use Visual Studio 2005 on my Vista box, even with the
Service Pack and hot fixes for Vista installed.

I am using a development environment of XP SP2 and VS2005 with all patches,
etc applied.

I'll be happy to ZIP my solution for you and send it to you. I am at
jeaksel at yahoo dot com. If it doesn't work for you, it is a setting in
your development environment.

Yes, the term Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application is underlined
with blue line. I've followed the way of referencing the MS Project object
suggested by you few weeks ago. I've enclosed 2 screen shots of the reference
and the error produced in the email I've sent to you. If you don't mind could
you take a look at it. My email is (e-mail address removed)

I'll send you my sln file as well. I don't know where you are, I am in the
United States. Today is Thanksgiving, a national holiday, and most people
are off work until Monday.

So, I will look into it... keeping in mind "Family Time"
