VBA or Visual Basic or VSTO for outlook sync?

Hi

I have been struggling for a while with the following problem: I am trying
to write a code that will launch 'send/receive' for an Outlook account. The
purpose is to sync back outlook to an exchange server after a 1-way sync from
google mail witout opening outlook.

I have downloaded and installed visual basic 2005 express edition and could
create a console application that perform this operation. I used the
syncobect from outlook. However, the events from outlook do not fire and I
absolutely need the syncend event to wait before ending the application. I
have been intensively trying to find a bug in my code without success

So here is my question: is my code wrong or does it come from the tools I
have been using to create the application. Do I need to use VBA or the VSTO
extension to visual studio. In that case do you know if there is a free way
to do that?

Bonus question: if you have in mind another way to automatically sync
outlook to exchange, it could also be a solution!

Thanks for reading and your help

Alban
