Thanks for the confirmation Jeff.
For anyone interested, here is the quick and dirty version of my
solution to this issue. I'm reading the ATOM Xml into a DataSet to
process it and this may not be the best way to go, you could download
Atom.NET once you retrieve the Xml from Google, but this works for my
purposes.
// Build and convert the authorization information
// The variables account and password are strings with the GMail
credentials
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(account);
sb.Append(":");
sb.Append(password);
Byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sb.ToString());
// Create the request
WebRequest feedRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://mail.google.com/
mail/feed/atom");
// Google uses Basic Auth so we add this header to the request
feedRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " +
Convert.ToBase64String(bytes));
// Get the response in the form of a stream
Stream feedStream = feedRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
// We are going to use a DataSet and XmlReader to get at the contents
of the Xml Response
DataSet dsFeed = new DataSet();
XmlReader feedReader = XmlReader.Create(feedStream);
dsFeed.ReadXml(feedReader);
lblSource.Text =
dsFeed.Tables["feed"].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();
for (Int32 loopMsg = 0; loopMsg < dsFeed.Tables["entry"].Rows.Count;
loopMsg++)
{
// Build the row for the author and date
TableRow trAuthorDate = new TableRow();
TableCell tdAuthor = new TableCell();
TableCell tdDate = new TableCell();
tdDate.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right;
Label lblAuthor = new Label();
lblAuthor.Text =
dsFeed.Tables["author"].Rows[loopMsg].ItemArray[0].ToString();
tdAuthor.Controls.Add(lblAuthor);
DateTime dtDate =
DateTime.Parse(dsFeed.Tables["entry"].Rows[loopMsg].ItemArray[4].ToString());
Label lblDate = new Label();
lblDate.Text = dtDate.ToString("g");
tdDate.Controls.Add(lblDate);
// Add all cells to the row
trAuthorDate.Cells.Add(tdAuthor);
trAuthorDate.Cells.Add(tdDate);
// Add the row to the table
tblMessageList.Rows.Add(trAuthorDate);
// Build the row for the subject
TableRow trSubject = new TableRow();
TableCell tdSubject = new TableCell();
tdSubject.ColumnSpan = 2;
Label lblSubject = new Label();
lblSubject.Text =
dsFeed.Tables["entry"].Rows[loopMsg].ItemArray[0].ToString();
tdSubject.Controls.Add(lblSubject);
// Add all cells to the row
trSubject.Cells.Add(tdSubject);
// Add the row to the table
tblMessageList.Rows.Add(trSubject);
// Build the row for the message
TableRow trMessage = new TableRow();
TableCell tdMessage = new TableCell();
tdMessage.ColumnSpan = 2;
Label lblMessage = new Label();
lblMessage.Text =
dsFeed.Tables["entry"].Rows[loopMsg].ItemArray[1].ToString();
tdMessage.Controls.Add(lblMessage);
// Add all cells to the row
trMessage.Cells.Add(tdMessage);
// Add the row to the table
tblMessageList.Rows.Add(trMessage);
}
