3.2.4.3 Reading View Definitions

To read the list of available view definitions for a folder as specified in section 2.2.6, the server MUST enumerate all of the view definition FAI messages in the folders, searching for a match on the PidTagMessageClass property ([MS-OXCMSG] section 2.2.1.3) and the PidTagViewDescriptorVersion property (section 2.2.6.4) as specified in section 2.2.6.

After the server has built the list of view definition messages, it can select one of them by using the PidTagViewDescriptorName property (section 2.2.6.2). After it has selected a view definition message, the server MUST read the settings from the PidTagViewDescriptorBinary property (section 2.2.6.1) and the PidTagViewDescriptorStrings property (section 2.2.6.3) on the message.
