// Important: 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";

// To send mail, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
// 
// POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
// 
// (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
// 

// Load the files to be attached.
Chilkat.BinData attach1 = new Chilkat.BinData();
attach1.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/fishing.pdf");
Chilkat.BinData attach2 = new Chilkat.BinData();
attach2.LoadFile("qa_data/msword/sample.docx");

// The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
// recipients, etc.  This example will build the following JSON plain-text email:
// 

// 	{
// 	  "message": {
// 	    "subject": "Sample Email with Attachments",
// 	    "body": {
// 	      "contentType": "Text",
