The Gmail control provides an easy way to manage sending and receiving mail in Gmail. The control also includes support for creating, listing, and managing contacts.

Syntax

Gmail

Remarks

This control provides an easy to use interface for Gmail using version 3 of the Gmail REST API. To use the control, first set the Authorization property to a valid OAuth token. The Gmail control can be used for sending or creating new messages; retrieving existing messages; creating, deleting, or sending drafts; and several other functionalities supported by the Gmail API.

This control requires authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth property to set the appropriate fields for the chosen OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType.

The control has the following defaults:

Below is a brief description of the different OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType values that are supported by this control. For a more in-depth description of what needs to be set, refer to the service documentation.

Application Profile

This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the control. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.

To start the authentication and authorization process, the Authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the OAuthAccessToken property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the OAuthRefreshToken property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The control will also cache these tokens along with when the OAuthAccessToken will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the Authorize method is called the control will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new OAuthAccessToken. If the Authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the control will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the OAuthGrantType property. To force the component to only check the access token when the Authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.

A brief description of the supported values for the OAuthGrantType property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.

Authorization Code

When using the Authorization Code grant type, the control will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the authorization code, setting the OAuthAuthorizationCode property, from the redirect. Immediately, the control will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the OAuthRefreshToken property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the control will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.

Example: Gmail gmail = new Gmail(); gmail.OAuth.ClientProfile = CloudOAuthClientProfiles.cocpApplication; gmail.OAuth.GrantType = OAuthSettingsGrantTypes.cogtAuthorizationCode; gmail.OAuth.ClientId = CLIENT_ID; gmail.OAuth.ClientSecret = CLIENT_SECRET; gmail.Authorize();

Implicit

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Implicit grant type, the control will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerAuthURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the access token from the redirect.

A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the control will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.

Web Profile

External OAuth Support

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE

Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the Authorization property will cause the control to ignore the values set in the OAuth property.

For Example: Oauth oauth = new Oauth(); oauth.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; oauth.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"; oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full"; oauth.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; oauth.GrantType = OauthGrantTypes.ogtAuthorizationCode; gmail.Authorization = oauth.GetAuthorization(); Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Sending Messages

There are two methods for sending messages using the Gmail component. The SendMail method will send a message directly. Alternatively, you can create a message draft and then send an existing draft using the SendDraft method. In both cases the properties of the new message are assigned through the Message properties (MessageSubject, MessageBodyContent, MessageCc, etc.).

Sending a Message with SendDraft: gmail.MessageSubject = "I am sending an email."; gmail.MessageBodyContentType = "TEXT"; gmail.MessageBodyContent = "Just wanted to let you know."; gmail.MessageTo = "reader@tautology.org"; gmail.CreateDraft(); string messageId = gmail.MessageInfo[0].Id; gmail.SendDraft(messageId);

Receiving Messages

Information about messages fetched by the component can be accessed through the MessageInfo properties. The MessageInfo properties is populated when the ListMessages, RetrieveMessageInfo, or Search methods are called.

The ListMessages method will list the messages.

By default, the component will fetch one page of 100 messages when ListMessages is called. If additional messages remain in the folder, the NextPageToken property will be populated. If ListMessages is then called again on the same folder the next page of messages will be fetched. The example below populates the MessageInfo properties with all the messages in the mailbox. do { gmail.ListMessages("", ""); } while (gmail.NextPageToken.Length > 0);

The message page size may also be changed by using the MessagePageSize configuration setting.

Listing Contact Groups

To list the contact groups of a user use the ListContactGroups method. It populates the ContactGroups collection with the retrieved groups. For each retrieved group the ContactGroupList event is fired.

Example (List All Contact Groups):

gmail.ListContactGroups(); // List root groups. foreach(GLContactGroup group in gmail.ContactGroups){ group.Id; // Group id group.Name; // Group name }

Listing Contacts

Use the ListContacts to populate the Contacts collection with the the contacts that are in groups, including main group (Contacts). For each retrieved contact the ContactList event is fired.

Example (List all Contacts): gmail.ListContacts();

If the number of contacts exceeds the page size, the ListContactsMarker will be populated. You can call ListContacts again to retrieve the next page of contacts. These contacts will be added to the end of the Contacts collection.

Example (List all Contact Pages): do{ gmail.ListContacts(); } while(!gmail.ListContactsMarker.isEmpty());

Creating and Updating Contacts

To create a new contact use the CreateContact method. The newly created contact is added at the end of the Contacts collection.

Example (Create a Contact in the main group (Contacts))

gmail.CreateContact("Pavel", "Bansky", "pavelb@contoso.com"); // Create the contact in the main group (Contacts). After creating a contact with basic information, select the contact to be edited in the Contacts collection, edit its fields and make a call to the UpdateContact method. To edit the newly created contact select the last contact of the collection.

Example (Update The First Contact Of The List) gmail.Contacts[0].CompanyName = "nsoftware"; // Set notes gmail.Contacts[0].Notes = "notes"; // Set multiple phone numbers gmail.Contacts[0].PhonesCount = 2; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneIndex = 0; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneType = TGLPhoneTypes.ptMobile; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneNumber = "0123456789"; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneIndex = 1; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneType = TGLPhoneTypes.ptWork; gmail.Contacts[0].PhoneNumber = "9876543210"; gmail.UpdateContact(0); The OLContact type used in the Contacts collection includes the most commonly used fields for contacts. Refer to the OLContact type for a complete list of fields. If you need to add other fields, you can use the SetContactField method. For a complete list of fields a contact can have please refer to the official google documentation for the People API.

Example (Add Other Fields To A Contact) // Set birthday gmail.SetContactField(0, "/json/birthdays", "[{ date: { "year": 1999, "month": 12, "day": 1 }}]", 1); // The last argument is the type of the field. 1 (Array) // Set address gmail.SetContactField(0, "/json/addresses", "[{\"metadata\":{\"primary\":true,\"sourcePrimary\":true,\"verified\":true},\"formattedValue\":\"formattedValue\",\"type\":\"type\",\"formattedType\":\"type\"}]", 1); // The last argument is the type of the field. 1 (Array) // Update the contact gmail.UpdateContact(0);

Example (Create A Contact In A Specific Group) Notice that when creating a contact, the group/label is not specified. This can be added through the memberships field using SetContactField. gmail.CreateContact("Pavel", "Bansky", "pavelb@contoso.com"); //Notice that no group is specified for this contact gmail.SetContactField(0, "/json/memberships", "[{\"contactGroupMembership\": { \"contactGroupId\": \"" + gmail.ContactGroups[0].Id + "\" }}]", 1); gmail.UpdateContact(0);

Retrieving Contacts

Example (Retrieve a Contact)

// Retrieve a contact by its ID string contactId = "12345"; // Replace with the actual contact ID gmail.GetContact(contactId); // Access the retrieved contact var retrievedContact = gmail.Contacts[gmail.Contacts.Count - 1]; retrievedContact.FirstName; //first name retrievedContact.LastName; //last name retrievedContact.EmailAddressIndex=0; //set the index to zero to retrieve access the first email address retrievedContact.EmailAddress; //first email address value retrievedContact.PhonesIndex=0; //set the index to zero to retrieve access the first phone number retrievedContact.PhoneNumber; //first phone number value gmail.GetContactField(gmail.Contacts.Count - 1, "/json/birthdays/[1]/date"); //birthday of the contact gmail.GetContactField(gmail.Contacts.Count - 1, "/json/nicknames/[1]"); //nickname of the contact

Deleting Contacts

To delete a contact use the DeleteContact method and provide the Id of the contact as the argument. The contact is also removed from the Contacts collection.

Example (Delete a Contact)

// List contacts and search for a contact with the name "John Doe" gmail.ListContacts(); for (int i = 0; i < gmail.Contacts.Count; i++) { if (gmail.Contacts[i].DisplayName == "John Doe") { //Delete the contact gmail.DeleteContact(gmail.Contacts[i].Id); break; } }

Sub gmailcontrol_MessageInfo(Id As String, ThreadId As String, HistoryId As String, InternalDate As String, Subject As String, Labels As String, From As String, SentTo As String, Cc As String, Bcc As String, Snippet As String, Size As Integer)

Remarks

The MessageList event is fired for each message retrieved from the server when ListMessages or ListDrafts is called.

MessagePart Event (Gmail Control)

Fired when a message part is retrieved from the server.

Syntax

Sub gmailcontrol_MessagePart(Id As String, AttachmentId As String, Filename As String, ContentType As String, Size As Integer, Data As String)

Remarks

The MessagePartList event is fired for each message part retrieved from the server when ListMessages or ListDrafts is called.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (Gmail Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub gmailcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (Gmail Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub gmailcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

Transfer Event (Gmail Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub gmailcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
