Loading MSG Files

The following code snippet shows you how to load MSG files.

For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/kashifiqb/Aspose.Email-for-C
// The path to the File directory.
System::String dataDir = RunExamples::GetDataDir_Outlook();
    
// Create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
    
// Get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
    
// Get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
    
// Get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
    
// Get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
    
// Get attachments
    
{
    auto att_enumerator = (msg->get_Attachments())->GetEnumerator();
    decltype(att_enumerator->get_Current()) att;
    while (att_enumerator->MoveNext() && (att = att_enumerator->get_Current(), true))
    {
        System::Console::Write(System::String(L"Attachment Name: ") + att->get_FileName());
        System::Console::Write(System::String(L"Attachment Display Name: ") + att->get_DisplayName());
    }
}

Loading from Stream

The following code snippet shows you how to load file from stream.

For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/kashifiqb/Aspose.Email-for-C
// Create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::ArrayPtr<uint8_t> bytes = System::IO::File::ReadAllBytes(dataDir + L"message.msg");
    
{
    System::SharedPtr<System::IO::MemoryStream> stream = System::MakeObject<System::IO::MemoryStream>(bytes);
    stream->Seek(0, System::IO::SeekOrigin::Begin);
    // Create an instance of MapiMessage from file
    System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromStream(stream);
    
    // Get subject
    System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
    
    // Get from address
    System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
    
    // Get body
    System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
