I ran into an issue recently when in an existing Console Application project we're forced to remove a reference to WSE 3.0. When I tried to remove it from references (because I could not find where it's used) it turned out there is only one place and it's using the SoapEnvelope class.
A little bit about the application: it's a console application that connects to an Exchange Server and listens to incoming emails, around 2-3k emails daily.
The SoapEnvelope class is used to read and parse the email body:
/// <summary>
/// Reads content of received HTTP request.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="client">The specified client.</param>
/// <returns>The watermark string if the read is successful; otherwise the last watermark.</returns>
public string Read(TcpClient client)
{
try
{
_myReadBuffer = new byte[client.ReceiveBufferSize];
using (var networkStream = client.GetStream())
{
var httpRequest = new MailboxHttpRequest(networkStream);
if (httpRequest.HasBody)
{
var httpResponse = new MailboxHttpResponse(_mailbox);
httpResponse.ParseBody(httpRequest.Body);
httpResponse.Send(networkStream, httpRequest.Body);
}
return httpRequest.Watermark;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Logger.WriteErrorLine("[EventsCollector] Error calling Read in MailboxNotificationManager", ex);
return _mailbox.LastWatermark;
}
finally
{
_myReadBuffer = null;
}
}
And the ParseBody methods looks like this:
/// <summary>
/// Parses the XML body content of receive notification and initialized email processing, if new message was received.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="body">XML content of received notification.</param>
public void ParseBody(string body)
{
var soapEnvelope = new SoapEnvelope() { InnerXml = body };
var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(SendNotificationResponseType));
using (var reader = new XmlNodeReader(soapEnvelope.Body.FirstChild))
{
var notificationResponse = (SendNotificationResponseType)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
if (notificationResponse.ResponseMessages != null) // Process notification, if request contains response message
{
_result = processNotification(notificationResponse);
}
}
}
As you can see, it creates a SoapEnvelope class to access the body`s first child.
MailboxHttpRequest class
private class MailboxHttpRequest
{
private readonly Regex _httpRequestBodyLengthPattern = new Regex(#"Content-Length: (?<BodyLength>\d*)", RegexOptions.Compiled);
private readonly Regex _httpRequestBodyPattern = new Regex(#"<\?xml .*", RegexOptions.Compiled);
private readonly Regex _httpRequestWatermarkPattern = new Regex(#"<t:Watermark>(?<Watermark>.*?)<\/t:Watermark>", RegexOptions.Compiled);
private const int _bufferSize = 8192;
public bool HasBody
{
get { return !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Body); }
}
public string Body { get; private set; }
public string Watermark { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MailboxHttpRequest"/> class and reads incoming messages
/// </summary>
/// <param name="networkStream">The network stream.</param>
public MailboxHttpRequest(NetworkStream networkStream)
{
var completeRequest = new StringBuilder();
var readBuffer = new byte[_bufferSize];
do // Read incoming message that might consist of many parts
{
var newDataLength = networkStream.Read(readBuffer, 0, readBuffer.Length);
completeRequest.Append(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(readBuffer, 0, newDataLength));
}
while (networkStream.DataAvailable || !requestWasFullyReceived(completeRequest.ToString()));
Body = _httpRequestBodyPattern.Match(completeRequest.ToString())
.Value;
Watermark = _httpRequestWatermarkPattern.Match(Body).Groups["Watermark"].Value;
}
}
The downside is that I`m not able test this part of code since I cant listen to same mailbox so I cant check what and how does the passed string look like.
If anybody has any suggestion on how to replace the SoapEnvelope class, would be greatly appreciate it.

I'm developing API via c# that will send notification to specific user ( android user) , then when user open the notification I want to redirect him to specific activity.
So I needed to send data along with notification message. I've tested it using Firebase Console and it's working fine , The notification is received and my launcher activity receive the extra from data has been sent
I've also tested it from my backend and the notification is received except that my launcher intent doesn't receive any extra.
I've been struggling for hours now , Any idea would help !
this is my code from c#
public String getNotification ()
{
string serverKey = "xxxx";
var result = "-1";
try
{
var webAddr = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
var regID = "xxxx";
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(webAddr);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization:key=" + serverKey);
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"to\": \"" + regID +
"\",\"notification\": {\"title\": \"Testing\",\"body\": \"Hi Testing\"}" +
"," + "\"data:\"" + "{\"mymsg\":" + "\"h\" }}";
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
return result;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
return "Can't Send";
}
}
}
And this is my launcher activity :
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("test" , "in main");
if (getIntent().getStringExtra("mymsg") != null) {
Log.d("test" , "has extra");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Main2Activity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
} else {
Log.d("test" , "no extra");
}
It looks like you have the wrong JSON:
," + "\"data:\"" + "{\"mymsg\":" + "\"h\" }} will be:
"data:" {
"mymsg":"h"
}
just correct your JSON. But I recommend using c# classes and serialization. Look at this simple example:
var payload = new {
to = "XXXX",
notification = new
{
body = "Test",
title = "Test"
},
data = new {
mymsg = "h"
}
}
// Using Newtonsoft.Json
string postbody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload).ToString();
But its just example. You should create classes instead of anonym objects and using JsonProperty or another way to serialize the object. Something like that:
/// <summary>
/// Data for sending push-messages.
/// </summary>
public class PushData
{
/// <summary>
/// [IOS] Displaying message
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("alert")]
public Alert Alert { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [IOS] badge value (can accept string representaion of number or "Increment")
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("badge")]
public Int32? Badge { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [IOS] The name of sound to play
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("sound")]
public String Sound { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [IOS>=7] Content to download in background
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Set 1 for silent mode
/// </remarks>
[JsonProperty("content-available")]
public Int32? ContentAvailable { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [IOS>=8] Category of interactive push with additional actions
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("category")]
public String Category { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [Android] Used for collapsing some messages with same collapse_key
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "collapse_key")]
public String CollapseKey { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [Android] This parameter specifies how long (in seconds) the message should be kept in GCM storage if the device is offline.
/// The maximum time to live supported is 4 weeks, and the default value is 4 weeks.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// Time_to_live value of 0 means messages that can't be delivered immediately will be discarded
/// </value>
[JsonProperty("time_to_live")]
public Int32 TimeToLive { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// [Android] Uri of activity to open when push activated by user
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("url")]
public String Url { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Payload for push
/// </summary>
[JsonProperty("data")]
public Payload Payload { get; set; }
}
with message builder which serialize your message body to correct json string.
We build a Windows client application for SharePoint online with SharePoint Client Object Model. We want to use OAuth to authentication for this Windows Client application, but we didn't find a way to do it; and the docs on MSDN is ambiguous.
This article gives an example, however, when I create the new application with the link https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/appregnew.aspx, the option of "An app running on a client machine" is disabled, is there a setting in SharePoint online site to enable this?
I got this working after a lot of trying
I guess it's not the most wonderfull code but here it is:
/// <summary>
/// Sets needed values
/// </summary>
/// <param name="clientId">The ClientId from the application</param>
/// <param name="redirectUri">The RedirectUri where the browser has to be send.</param>
/// <param name="resource">The source you want to access</param>
public OneDriveConnection(string clientId, string clientSecret, string redirectUri, string resource)
{
this._clientId = clientId;
this._redirectUri = Uri.EscapeDataString(redirectUri);
this._resource = Uri.EscapeDataString(resource);
this._clientSecret = clientSecret;
}
Next I create a browser where the user is prompted to log in:
/// <summary>
/// Authorizes the application
/// </summary>
public void Authorize()
{
/* EXAMPLE: GET https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize
* ?response_type=code
* &client_id=acb81092-056e-41d6-a553-36c5bd1d4a72
* &redirect_uri=https://mycoolwebapp.azurewebsites.net
* &resource=https:%2f%2foutlook.office365.com%2f
* &state=5fdfd60b-8457-4536-b20f-fcb658d19458 */
string baseUri = "https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize";
string authorizationUri = string.Format(baseUri
+ "?response_type=code"
+ "&client_id={0}"
+ "&redirect_uri={1}"
+ "&resource={2}"
+ "&state={3}", this._clientId, this._redirectUri, this._resource, "5fdfd60b-8457-4536-b20f-fcb658d19458");
// Create the form
Form webBrowserForm = new Form();
webBrowserForm.MaximizeBox = false;
webBrowserForm.MinimizeBox = false;
webBrowserForm.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(580, 890);
webBrowserForm.Text = "Webbrowser";
webBrowserForm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
webBrowserForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
// Create the WebBrowser
WebBrowser webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
webBrowser.Width = 580;
webBrowser.Height = 890;
webBrowser.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
webBrowser.ShowPageSetupDialog();
// Hook event to the webBrowser
webBrowser.Navigated += webBrowser_Navigated;
// Show the webBrowser and form to the user
webBrowserForm.Controls.Add(webBrowser);
webBrowserForm.Show();
// Navigate to the authorizationUri
webBrowser.Navigate(authorizationUri);
}
Here I check if there is a code to execute the GetTokenInformation method:
/// <summary>
/// When the url has code in it and contains a session_state get the code and do the GetTokenInformation
/// </summary>
private void webBrowser_Navigated(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Url.AbsoluteUri.Contains("code=") && e.Url.AbsoluteUri.Contains("session_state"))
{
string[] splited = e.Url.AbsoluteUri.Split(new char[] { '=', '&' });
_code = splited[1];
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_code)
&& !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_redirectUri)
&& !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_clientId))
{
GetTokenInformation(_code, _redirectUri, _clientId, _clientSecret);
}
else
{
_connected = false;
}
}
}
In the GetTokenInformation method I get the TokenInformation which I put in a TokenInformation class using the Newtonsoft.Json dll
/// <summary>
/// This method gets tokeninformation: access_token, token_type, expires_in, resource, refresh_token, scope, id_token
/// </summary>
/// <param name="code">Code from the authorize request</param>
/// <param name="redirectUri">Reply url for your application</param>
/// <param name="clientId">Your applications client id in Windows Azure Directory</param>
/// <param name="clientSecret">Your applications client secret</param>
private void GetTokenInformation(string code, string redirectUri, string clientId, string clientSecret)
{
// Get the token information that is set above in the constructor with the help of the clientId, clientSecret and code and as well as the redirectUri without it you can't connect to it otherwise it will crash if you don't do it like that
string baseUri = "https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/token";
string parameters = string.Format("grant_type=authorization_code"
+ "&code={0}"
+ "&redirect_uri={1}"
+ "&client_id={2}"
+ "&client_secret={3}", code, redirectUri, clientId, clientSecret);
string response = HttpPost(baseUri, parameters);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(response))
{
_tokenInformation = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TokenInformation>(response);
_connected = true;
}
else
{
_connected = false;
}
}
And here is my TokenInformation class using the Newtonsoft.Json dll:
[JsonObject(MemberSerialization.OptIn)]
class TokenInformation
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "access_token")]
public string AccessToken { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "token_type")]
public string TokenType { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "expires_in")]
public int ExpiresIn { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "expires_on")]
public int ExpiresOn { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "resource")]
public string Resource { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "refresh_token")]
public string RefreshToken { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "scope")]
public string Scope { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "id_token")]
public string IdToken { get; set; }
}
This is where I found the requests which I needed to make to connect to SharePoint/Office365: link
You can try using an app as the "proxy" to do oAuth as a workaround. The "implicit" oAuth flow which is what native apps use to connect directly to services is not yet available AFAIK
I am trying to get Oauth to work with the Twitter Streaming API but I am getting a 401 Unauthorized error. I found a blog that provided code for the Oauth authentication, but I had to tweak it to get it to compile. Here's what I have so far in my main method:

}
}

And finally the OAuthRequestAuthorizer class:

}
public override string GenerateNonce()

return new Nonce().Value;
}
private string BuildHeader(HttpWebRequest request, Uri uri)
{
var nonce = GenerateNonce();
var timeStamp = GenerateTimeStamp();
string normalizedUrl;

var httpMethod = request.Method;
var signature = GenerateSignature(uri, _twitterConsumerKey, _twitterConsumerSecret, _twitterAccessToken, _twitterAccessTokenSecret,
httpMethod, timeStamp, nonce, out normalizedUrl,
out normalizedRequestParameters);
// https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/authorizing-request

}
public void Authorize(HttpWebRequest request, string postData)
{

var baseUri = string.IsNullOrEmpty(postData) || request.Method.ToUpper() == "GET"

}
I am using the correct API keys and I think I have the correct settings set up on the application. Any idea why I keep getting a 401? Also, if there is a simpler way to do this by all means let me know!
Temboo simplifies the OAuth process for Twitter by breaking it down into two calls:
InitializeOAuth - returns a Twitter authorization URL that you can show to your users and have them grant your application access to their Twitter account
FinalizeOAuth- returns the access tokens you need for authenticated access to the Twitter Streaming API.
You can experiment with Temboo's Twitter OAuth support in your browser from the link below and then generate the source code you need to use this behavior in your app. If your language isn't supported (Temboo does not current have a C# SDK), you can generate REST API cURL commands.
https://www.temboo.com/library/Library/Twitter/OAuth/
(Full disclosure: I work at Temboo, so let me know if you have any questions!)
You've probably either found your bug or found another way of solving the problem by now, but in case you haven't, the 401 error is due to a copy paste error in your OAuthRequestAuthorizer class. You submitted the first parameter twice in the string.format method in the BuildHeader function.
It now returns a 406 error when I try it, but at least its moved past your 401 problem!
I had a very similar issue (and I think I might have taken the same code from the same blog looking at it).
I found that if I used all UPPER CASE characters for value of the track= parameter to the streaming API then I stopped getting the 401 errors.
I'm pulling feeds for my RSS project and I am running into a problem of not knowing how to allow the user to load more items into the collection. At the current moment, everything loads at once. While this is in some cases all right, I would like the user to be able to choose how things get loaded in case they have a slow mobile connection.
This is borrowed code and thus it only adds to my confusion.
Where could i be able to inject code into this sample to allow a dynamic loading of items, say, 30 at a time?
Rss Class:
namespace MyRSSService
{
public class RssService
{
/// Gets the RSS items.
/// <param name="rssFeed">The RSS feed.</param>
/// <param name="onGetRssItemsCompleted">The on get RSS items completed.</param>
/// <param name="onError">The on error.</param>
public static void GetRssItems(string rssFeed, Action<IList<RssItem>> onGetRssItemsCompleted = null, Action<Exception> onError = null, Action onFinally = null)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
// register on download complete event
webClient.OpenReadCompleted += delegate(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
// report error
if (e.Error != null)
{
if (onError != null)
{
onError(e.Error);
}
return;
}
// convert rss result to model
IList<RssItem> rssItems = new List<RssItem>();
Stream stream = e.Result;
XmlReader response = XmlReader.Create(stream);
{
SyndicationFeed feeds = SyndicationFeed.Load(response);
foreach (SyndicationItem f in feeds.Items)
{
RssItem rssItem = new RssItem(f.Title.Text, f.Summary.Text, f.PublishDate.ToString(), f.Links[0].Uri.AbsoluteUri);
rssItems.Add(rssItem);
}
}
// notify completed callback
if (onGetRssItemsCompleted != null)
{
onGetRssItemsCompleted(rssItems);
}
}
finally
{
// notify finally callback
if (onFinally != null)
{
onFinally();
}
}
};
webClient.OpenReadAsync(new Uri(rssFeed));
}
}
}
items setting class:
namespace MyRSSService
{
public class RssItem
{
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="RssItem"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="title">The title.</param>
/// <param name="summary">The summary.</param>
/// <param name="publishedDate">The published date.</param>
/// <param name="url">The URL.</param>
public RssItem(string title, string summary, string publishedDate, string url)
{
Title = title;
Summary = summary;
PublishedDate = publishedDate;
Url = url;
// Get plain text from html
PlainSummary = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Regex.Replace(summary, "<[^>]+?>", ""));
}
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Summary { get; set; }
public string PublishedDate { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public string PlainSummary { get; set; }
}
}
the binding C# to the page to display the feeds
public partial class FeedPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{
private const string WindowsPhoneBlogPosts = "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml";
public FeedPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
RssService.GetRssItems(WindowsPhoneBlogPosts, (items) => { listbox.ItemsSource = items; }, (exception) => { MessageBox.Show(exception.Message); }, null);
}
}
Unless the server where the feed is hosted provides an API to limit the number of returned items (for example, this practice is used for the Xbox Marketplace), you will be downloading the entire feed, even if you decide to only show a part of it.
