bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Examine the structure in text format:
string txtStruct = mime.GetStructure("text");
Debug.WriteLine(txtStruct);

//  The MIME structure as indented text is:
//  multipart/alternative
//      text/plain
//      multipart/related
//          text/html
//          image/jpeg
//  

//  Now examine the structure in XML format:
string xmlStruct = mime.GetStructure("xml");
Debug.WriteLine(xmlStruct);

//  The MIME structure as XML is:
//  <multipart-alternative>
//      <text-plain />
//      <multipart-related>
//          <text-html />
//          <image-jpeg />
//      </multipart-related>
//  </multipart-alternative>
