Question

I am using the below code to read the mails from my inbox using ews. I am able to read Subject etc. But how to read custom field value?

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain"); 
service.Url = new Uri("https://server/ews/exchange.asmx"); 
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(100));

foreach (Item item in findResults.Items)
{
    string str=item.Subject;
    foreach (ExtendedProperty extendedProperty in item.ExtendedProperties)
    { }
}

I tried item.ExtendedProperties. But the count is always zero. Can any one tell me how to read the custom field value?

Thanks in advance

According to this MSDN article, you need to add a property set for the extended properties that you want to retrieve to the ItemView parameter of the FindItems method.

For example, your line:

FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(100));

becomes:

ItemView view = new ItemView(100);

Guid MyPropertySetId = new Guid("{C11FF724-AA03-4555-9952-8FA248A11C3E}");

view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, ItemSchema.Subject, extendedPropertyDefinition);

FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
