(C#) Outlook -- List Selected Fields in Messages

Demonstrates how to list the messages in a particular Outlook mailbox folder, but selects particular fields to be returned.

This uses the OData $select system query option. See OData System Query Option $select for general information.

Also see OData URL Conventions for information about $select and other query options.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.68 or greater.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

// Use your previously obtained access token here:
// See the following examples for getting an access token:
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
//    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

http.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN";

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbResponse = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();

// In this example, we'd like to get the messages in the folder "/Inbox",
// but we must specify the corresponding folder_id.  The best way to do this is to create
// a local map of folderPaths-to-folderIds.
