MORE INFORMATION

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
3. In the Visual C# Projects types list, click Console Application.
   
   Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Console Application in the Visual C# list.
   
   In Visual Studio .NET, Class1.cs is created by default. In Visual Studio 2005, Program.cs is created by default.
4. In the code window, replace the code with the following:

   using System;
   using System.Net;
   using System.IO;            
   
   namespace WebDavNET
   {
       /// <summary>
       /// Summary description for Class1.
       /// </summary>
       class Class1
       {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           try 
           {
               // TODO: Replace with the URL of an object on Exchange Server
               string sUri = "http://ExchServer/Exchange/Administrator/Calendar/testappt.eml";       
   
               System.Uri myUri = new System.Uri(sUri);
               HttpWebRequest HttpWRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);

               // Write the data to be posted to the request stream.
               QueryStream.Write(ByteQuery,0,ByteQuery.Length);

               HttpWebResponse HttpWResponse = (HttpWebResponse)HttpWRequest.GetResponse();
   
               // Get the Status code.
               int iStatCode =  (int)HttpWResponse.StatusCode;
               string sStatus = iStatCode.ToString();
               Console.WriteLine("Status Code: {0}", sStatus);
               // Get the request headers
               string sReqHeaders = HttpWRequest.Headers.ToString();
               Console.WriteLine(sReqHeaders);
   
               // Read the response stream.
               Stream strm = HttpWResponse.GetResponseStream();
               StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strm);
               string sText = sr.ReadToEnd();

           catch (Exception e)

               Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
           }
           }
       }
   
   }

5. Search for TODO in the code, and then modify the code for your environment.
6. Press F5 to build and to run the program.
7. Make sure that the appointment item was created.
