Examples

The following example performs an identifier conversion between the Exchange Web Services identifier format and the Outlook Web Access identifier format.

static void ConvertId()
{
    // Set the version, credentials, and the Client Access server on ExchangeServiceBinding.
    ExchangeServiceBinding esb = new ExchangeServiceBinding();
    esb.RequestServerVersionValue = new RequestServerVersion();
    esb.RequestServerVersionValue.Version = ExchangeVersionType.Exchange2007_SP1;
    esb.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
    esb.Url = "https://FQDN/ews/exchange.asmx";

    // Create the request.
    ConvertIdType request = new ConvertIdType();
    request.SourceIds = new AlternateIdType[1];
    request.SourceIds[0] = new AlternateIdType();

    // Convert from the Exchange Web Services identifier to an Outlook Web Access identifier.
    request.SourceIds[0].Format = IdFormatType.EwsId;
    (request.SourceIds[0] as AlternateIdType).Id = "AAMkADk";
    (request.SourceIds[0] as AlternateIdType).Mailbox = "user@example.com";
    request.DestinationFormat = IdFormatType.OwaId;

    try
    {
        // Send the ConvertIdType request and get the response.
        ConvertIdResponseType response = esb.ConvertId(request);
        ArrayOfResponseMessagesType aormt = response.ResponseMessages;
        ResponseMessageType[] rmta = aormt.Items;

        // Check each response message.
        foreach (ConvertIdResponseMessageType resp in rmta)
        {
            if (resp.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Success)
            {
                ConvertIdResponseMessageType cirmt = (resp as ConvertIdResponseMessageType);
                AlternateIdType myId = (cirmt.AlternateId as AlternateIdType);

                string format = myId.Format.ToString();
                string identifier = myId.Id;
                string mailbox = myId.Mailbox;

                Console.WriteLine("Converted to format: {0}\r\nIdentifier: {1}\r\nMailbox: {2}", format, identifier, mailbox);
            }
            else if (resp.ResponseClass == ResponseClassType.Error)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + resp.MessageText);
            }
            else
                Console.WriteLine("Warning: " + resp.MessageText);
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
