            using (file)
            {
                Folder tasksFolder = file.MailboxRoot.GetFolder("Tasks");

                if (tasksFolder != null)
                {
                    IList<Item> items = tasksFolder.GetItems();

                    for (int m = 0; m < items.Count; m++)
                    {
                        if (items[m] is Task)
                        {
                            Task task = (Task)items[m];

                            Console.WriteLine("Id: " + task.Id);
                            Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + task.Subject);
                            Console.WriteLine("StartDate: " + task.StartDate);
                            Console.WriteLine("DueDate: " + task.DueDate);
                            Console.WriteLine("Owner: " + task.Owner);
                            Console.WriteLine("Body: " + task.Body);
                            Console.WriteLine("----------------------------------------------------------------");
                        }
                    }
                }

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports Independentsoft.Pst

Namespace Sample
    Class Module1
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())

            Dim file As New PstFile("c:\testfolder\Outlook.pst")

            Using file

                Dim tasksFolder As Folder = file.MailboxRoot.GetFolder("Tasks")

                If tasksFolder IsNot Nothing Then

                    Dim items As IList(Of Item) = tasksFolder.GetItems()

                    For m As Integer = 0 To items.Count - 1

                        If TypeOf items(m) Is Task Then
                            Dim task As Task = DirectCast(items(m), Task)

                            Console.WriteLine("Id: " & task.Id)
                            Console.WriteLine("Subject: " & task.Subject)
                            Console.WriteLine("StartDate: " & task.StartDate)
                            Console.WriteLine("DueDate: " & task.DueDate)
                            Console.WriteLine("Owner: " & task.Owner)
                            Console.WriteLine("Body: " & task.Body)
                            Console.WriteLine("----------------------------------------------------------------")
