You Should use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

dim insApplication as new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application
dim insOutlookNameSpace as Microsoft.Office.Outlook.NameSpace
dim insContactsFolder as Microsoft.Office.Outlook.MAPIFolder
 insOutlookNameSpace = insApplication.GetNamespace("MAPI")
insContactsFolder = insOutlookNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts);
for each ci as ContactItem in insContactsFolder.Items
Console.WriteLine(ci.FullName)
next

This is not the right forum in which to post your question.

Do you want to use Visual Studio Tools for Office, or use OLE Automation/COM Interop as noted below by Tamer Oz, which would just be a regular VB project?

Please post back and I will redirect you to the appropriate forum where you will get more response.
