How to do FindItem using Extended MAPI Properties in a Exchange Web Service call?

We can perform GetItem Exchange Web Service call to get Extended MAPI Properties refer my previous post How to get Extended MAPI Properties in the GetItem Exchange Web Service call? and can also perform FindItem based on the Extended MAPI Properties.

In the sample code given below we would use CleanGlobalObjectId to perform FindItem for Calendar Items:

     private void SelectRecordByCGOID()

         {

             //prepare the find item request: we have to use FindItem because

             //this is the only way to search by CleanGlobalObjectID; GetItem does not allow us

             //to search with Restrictions

             FindItemType findItemRequest = new FindItemType();

             DistinguishedFolderIdType[] folderIDArray = new DistinguishedFolderIdType[1];

             folderIDArray[0] = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();

             folderIDArray[0].Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.calendar;

             folderIDArray[0].Mailbox = new EmailAddressType();

             folderIDArray[0].Mailbox.EmailAddress = "brijs@msglab.com";

             // Add folders to the request.

             findItemRequest.ParentFolderIds = folderIDArray;

             findItemRequest.Traversal = ItemQueryTraversalType.Shallow;

             //Prepare an Item shape type that defines how the items in view will be returned.

             ItemResponseShapeType itemShapeDefinition = new ItemResponseShapeType();

             itemShapeDefinition.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.AllProperties  ;

             //filter the results by the CleanGlobalObjectID passed in

             PathToExtendedFieldType path = new PathToExtendedFieldType();

             path.PropertyId = 35;

             path.PropertyIdSpecified = true;

             path.PropertySetId = "6ED8DA90-450B-101B-98DA-00AA003F1305";

             path.PropertyType = MapiPropertyTypeType.Binary;

             FieldURIOrConstantType constant = new FieldURIOrConstantType();

             ConstantValueType constantValue = new ConstantValueType();

             constantValue.Value = itemGCOID ;

             constant.Item = constantValue;

             RestrictionType restriction = new RestrictionType();

             IsEqualToType equal = new IsEqualToType();

             equal.Item = path;

             equal.FieldURIOrConstant = constant;

             restriction.Item = equal;

             //Add the itemShape definition and restriction to the FindItem request

             findItemRequest.ItemShape = itemShapeDefinition;

             findItemRequest.Restriction = restriction;

             FindItemResponseType findItemResponse = binding.FindItem(findItemRequest);

             for (int i = 0; i < findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items.Length; i++)

             {

                 //verify the FindItem request was successfull

                 if (findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[i].ResponseClass != ResponseClassType.Success)

                 {

                     throw new Exception(string.Format(

                         "Unable to find calendar view by CleanGlobalObjectID \r\n{0}\r\n{1}",

                         findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[i].ResponseCode,

                         findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[i].MessageText));

                 }

                 else

                 {

                         //Success

                         //get the calendar items contained in the response

                         FindItemResponseMessageType findItemResponseMessage = (FindItemResponseMessageType)findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[i];

                         ArrayOfRealItemsType findItemResponseItems = (ArrayOfRealItemsType)findItemResponseMessage.RootFolder.Item;

                         for (int x = 0; x < findItemResponseMessage.RootFolder.TotalItemsInView; x++)

                         {

                             if (findItemResponseItems.Items[x] is CalendarItemType)

                             {

                                 CalendarItemType calendar = (CalendarItemType)findItemResponseItems.Items[x];

                                 Console.WriteLine( "Item found ");

                                 Console.WriteLine( calendar.Subject);

                             }

                         }

                  }

             }

         }

Hope this helps!
