GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET simplifies this task by providing powerful functionalities for rendering various document formats seamlessly. In this tutorial, we will delve into how to render specific folders and filter messages in Outlook using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, ensure you have the following:

1. GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET: Make sure you have installed GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET. You can download it from the website.
2. .NET Framework: You need to have the .NET framework installed on your machine.
3. Basic understanding of C#: Familiarity with C# programming language will be beneficial to follow along with the tutorial.

Import Namespaces

Firstly, let’s import the necessary namespaces to our C# code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Viewer.Options;

Step 1: Define Output Directory

string outputDirectory = "Your Document Directory";

Replace "Your Document Directory" with the directory path where you want the rendered documents to be saved.

Step 2: Define Page File Path Format

string pageFilePathFormat = Path.Combine(outputDirectory, "page_{0}.html");

This line defines the format for the file paths of each rendered page. In this example, it will generate HTML files named page_1.html, page_2.html, and so on.

Step 3: Initialize Viewer Object

using (Viewer viewer = new Viewer(TestFiles.SAMPLE_OST_SUBFOLDERS))

Here, we initialize a Viewer object with the path to the sample Outlook folder.

Step 4: Define HTML View Options

HtmlViewOptions options = HtmlViewOptions.ForEmbeddedResources(pageFilePathFormat);
options.OutlookOptions.Folder = "Входящие";

We create an instance of HtmlViewOptions and specify the format for embedded resources. Additionally, we set the Outlook folder to be rendered as "Входящие" (Incoming).

Step 5: Render the Document

viewer.View(options);

This line triggers the rendering process with the specified options.

Step 6: Display Success Message

Console.WriteLine($"\nSource document rendered successfully.\nCheck output in {outputDirectory}.");

After rendering, this message is displayed indicating the successful completion of the rendering process and directs the user to the output directory.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to render specific folders and filter messages in Outlook using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET. By following the steps outlined above, you can efficiently manage and display documents within your .NET applications.
