I am building a c# web application which will interact with Microsoft Outlook. When the user creates a Task in the web application i want it to also create a task in outlook.

The server i am hosting the web application on will not have outlook installed.

Which API should i use to create tasks in the users outlook?

is the client Outlook connected via an Exchange-Server (or office365) or just IMAP or POP3? – Cadburry
Some users will be using Office 365 and some will be using Exchange Server. – user1786107

If you have an Exchange Server or Office365 connected inbox i suggest the EWS library:
