There are code examples in the SDK. The example you need would be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/exsdkprogtasks/html/63af1f9c-464b-4fca-9ae3-3d60f24ca93c.asp. This example provides an object that contains an array of items found in the Inbox and Drafts folder. The linked example is out-of-date and will be replaced by the following code (Note: the proxy objects used by this code were generated in Visual Studio 2005. Different proxy generators may create different proxy objects).
static void Main()
{
ExchangeServiceBinding esb = new ExchangeServiceBinding();
esb.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("UserName", "Password", "Domain");
esb.Url = @"http://myexchangeserver.mydomain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx";
// Form the FindItem request
FindItemType findItemRequest = new FindItemType();
findItemRequest.Traversal = ItemQueryTraversalType.Shallow;
// Define which item properties are returned in the response
ItemResponseShapeType itemProperties = new ItemResponseShapeType();
itemProperties.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.AllProperties;
// Add properties shape to request
findItemRequest.ItemShape = itemProperties;
// Identify which folders to search to find items
DistinguishedFolderIdType[] folderIDArray = new DistinguishedFolderIdType[2];
folderIDArray[0] = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
folderIDArray[1] = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
folderIDArray[0].Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.inbox;
folderIDArray[1].Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.drafts;
// Add folders to request
findItemRequest.ParentFolderIds = folderIDArray;
// Send the request and get the response
FindItemResponseType findItemResponse = esb.FindItem(findItemRequest);
}
The findItemResponse object contains the array of items found in the Inbox and Drafts folders. To review/debug the XML requests and responses, I will add the following code after the request is sent and the response is received:
// Create a text file in /bin/ with the request XML
using (StreamWriter myReqWriter = new StreamWriter("FindItemRequestFile.xml"))
{
XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(FindItemType));
mySerializer.Serialize(myReqWriter, findItemRequest);
}
// Create a text file in /bin/ with the response XML
using (StreamWriter myRespWriter = new StreamWriter("FindItemResponseFile.xml"))
{
XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(FindItemResponseType));
mySerializer.Serialize(myRespWriter, findItemResponse);
}
This will provide you with two files that contain the request and response XML.
I hope this information helps you.
