Examples

The following example shows you how to synchronize the items in the Inbox folder. Because the SyncState property is set, the items in the folder have been synchronized before. This SyncFolderItems operation will return all changes that were made since the synchronization call that is represented by the SyncState property. This call will return a maximum of 100 items, which are represented by their item identifiers and their subject field, if applicable. Also be aware that this call ignores a single item.

static void SyncFolderItems(ExchangeServiceBinding esb)
{ 
    // Create the request.
    SyncFolderItemsType <span class="label">request</span> = new SyncFolderItemsType();

    // Identify the properties that are synchronized.
    ItemResponseShapeType shape = new ItemResponseShapeType();
    shape.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.IdOnly;
    PathToUnindexedFieldType itemSubject = new PathToUnindexedFieldType();
    itemSubject.FieldURI = UnindexedFieldURIType.itemSubject;
    shape.AdditionalProperties = new BasePathToElementType[1];
    shape.AdditionalProperties[0] = itemSubject;

    // Add the synchronized properties to the request.
<span class="label">request</span>.ItemShape = shape;

    // Define the maximum number of changes returned in the response.
<span class="label">request</span>.MaxChangesReturned = 100;

    // Identify the folder to synchronize.
    DistinguishedFolderIdType inbox = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
    inbox.Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.inbox;
<span class="label">request</span>.SyncFolderId = new TargetFolderIdType();
<span class="label">request</span>.SyncFolderId.Item = inbox;

    // Add the synchronization state to the request.
<span class="label">request</span>.SyncState = "wQ3YnacHwN3pRYZFQ1jv7HwSZzl/z/wESqUej1h8AAA==";

    // Identify which items should not be synchronized.
<span class="label">request</span>.Ignore = new ItemIdType[1];

    // Send the request and get the response.
    SyncFolderItemsResponseType response = esb.SyncFolderItems(<span class="label">request</span>);

        // Get the sync state string to use in later synchronization calls.
        string syncState = sfirmt.SyncState;

        // Get the array of changes that are returned in the response.
        SyncFolderItemsChangesType changeArray = sfirmt.Changes;

        // This contains the array of item changes.
        object[] changes = changeArray.Items;

        // This identifies the type of change that occurred on an item.
        ItemsChoiceType2 changeType;

        for (int count = 0; count &lt; changes.Length; count++)

            // in the changes object[].
            changeType = changeArray.ItemsElementName[count];

Remarks

To synchronize the folder hierarchy, use the SyncFolderHierarchyType proxy object.

Constructors

SyncFolderItemsType()
