bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();

// The contents of this MIME file are shown below, 
// and is also available at https://www.chilkatsoft.com/sampleMime.txt
success = mime.LoadMimeFile("qa_data/mime/sampleMime.txt");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The MIME used in this example has the following nested structure
// 
// multipart/alternative
//     text/plain
//     multipart/related
//         text/html
//         image/jpeg
// 

// Adding a top-level MIME header is easy.
mime.AddHeaderField("hello-world","Hello World!");
// If a header field of the same name already exists, the AddHeaderField
// method adds a duplicate.
mime.AddHeaderField("Subject","This is the 2nd Subject header.");
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetEntireHead());
Debug.WriteLine("-");

// The top-level header now looks like this:
// 
// 	Subject: Test email.
// 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
// 	MIME-Version: 1.0
// 	hello-world: Hello World!
// 	Subject: This is the 2nd Subject header.
// 

// The RemoveHeaderField method can remove the 1st occurrance, or all occurrences.
bool bAllOccurrences = true;
// Remove all occurrences of the Subject header;
mime.RemoveHeaderField("Subject",bAllOccurrences);
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetEntireHead());
Debug.WriteLine("-");

// After removing all Subject header fields, the top-level header now looks like this:
// 
// Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
// MIME-Version: 1.0
// hello-world: Hello World!
// 

// The content of a header field can be updated by calling SetHeaderField.
// If the header field does not already exist, it is added.  Otherwise it is updated.
// Note: The order of header fields SHOULD never matter.
mime.SetHeaderField("hello-world","Goodbye World.");
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetEntireHead());
Debug.WriteLine("-");

// Now we have:
// 
// 	Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------DB171738719FB06D67DEBAA0"
// 	MIME-Version: 1.0
// 	hello-world: Goodbye World.
// 

// To add/update/delete header fields in sub-parts, navigate to
// the sub-part and do the same..

Chilkat.Mime mpRelated = new Chilkat.Mime();
mime.PartAt(1,mpRelated);

Chilkat.Mime pJpg = new Chilkat.Mime();
mpRelated.PartAt(1,pJpg);

// Add a header to the image/jpeg sub-header.
pJpg.SetHeaderField("CustomHeader","This is the custom header value.");

// View the entire MIME..
Debug.WriteLine(mime.GetMime());
