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

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

bool 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>
