After many hours of reading I still have not found an answer to this question. I can get a NotesItem and create a NotesRichTextItem (NotesDocument.CreateRichTextItem(“”)), however, I haven’t found a way to get a handle to a NotesRichTextItem.
I’m using VB .NET 02 and writing in VB.
I need to read in text from a rich text field or at least be able to get a handle to it so I can add text to it.
Is there a way?

Subject: How To Get NotesRichTextItem In .NET?
Notes items are typed by their content. In LotusScript you would use GetFirstItem to access an existing Rich Text item. I know there was a problem casting the return of GetFirstItem to the NotesRichTextItem class in older versions in both VB.NET and C#, and I’m not sure whether it was the Domino type library for the Notes version I was using at the time (6.0.1) or the VS .NET version (2002) I was using that was the culprit. You might have to resort to turning off Option Strict and/or declaring the RT item as Object.
