问题
Ok, so far the best information I have gotten regarding this topic was on this thread: EWS-API-Create-Calendar-and-Share-with-reviewer-permissions. I tried asking this question on that thread but I actually posted it as an answer so it was removed by the admins (my bad!)
DISCLAIMER: I am a sysadmin by trade and moonlight in development...so please excuse any misuse of terminology or confusions in verbage.
Also, I'm working in C# here fyi.
I have read the message protocol specs from microsoft and understand that certain extended properties need to be created on a message item to properly create a sharing invitation object I understand from the post mentioned above, I can create a message object with extended properties (SetExtendedProperty(extprop,value) to be exact). I understand that I must manually create the extended properties I'm setting using new ExtendedProperty() and populate the correct Parent GUID, HexID, and Datatype on each property. From what I can gather this is more or less a "workaround" due to there being no inherent sharing object management capabilities built into the API...
But I've ran into a snag and need some clarification...
I wanted to manually create a sharing invite (via the client, the "user" way), and then attach to the message in the Sent Items box of the user who sent the invitation. I wanted to enumerate all possible properties relative to what I need to use to build a similar object so I could use it as a template and compare my objects properties against the original invite. I can get the message fine and find many properties, but not any "special" ones. The only thing I can find that differentiate the message item is the fact that it's IPM.Sharing Item Class and that it has an attachment of sharing_metadata.xml.
But am I correct in assuming now that we can create sharing invites via the API through using extended properties, that doesn't necessarily mean we can read those properties via the API??
Everything I tried to enumerate extended properties doesn't seem to work, and always returns nothing instead of an array of extended properties. Maybe I'm not doing it right, but I wanted to ask the question before spending countless more hours trying to achieve something that's not possible.
So if I can't properly enumerate the extended properties, is there a possibiltiy of using something like ExFolders or MFCMAPI or something to get those properties???
Any thoughts/suggestions/critisisms?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Heres the function I'm playing with to try and create a sharing invite for a users calendar folder...I've commented where I'm stuck and what I'm not completely wrapping my head around:
public void CreateCalendarSharingRequest(string folderID, string owner, string sharedToUser)
{
// LOAD OUR CUSTOM PROPERTIES
Guid PropertySetSharing = new Guid("{00062040-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}");

invitationRequest.SetExtendedProperty(PidNameXSharingCapabilities, "40290"); /* Test representation of SharingCapabilities value */
// THIS IS WHERE IM STUCK - I understand how to set some of the properties like above, but then
// it starts needing the entryID properties for the folder being shared, etc...and I'm not entirely
// sure which properties I have to set and how many can/will be autopopulated by the transport provider
// All i wanna do is send an invite message for sharing the calendar folder from one user to another!
// Add recipient info
//invitationRequest.ToRecipients.Add(sharedToUser);
//invitationRequest.SendAndSaveCopy();
}

Well I figured it out...but it wasn't easy. If your interested in how I was able to get a sharing invitation sent through Exchange 2010's EWS API 1.2, you can read about it here
