Begins asynchronous SendCommand operation. Executes a command on the IMAP server.

Namespace:  Rebex.Net
Assembly:  Rebex.Imap (in Rebex.Imap.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function BeginSendCommand ( _
	command As String, _
	parameters As Object(), _
	callback As AsyncCallback, _
	state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
C#
public IAsyncResult BeginSendCommand(
	string command,
	Object[] parameters,
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state
)

Parameters

command
Type: System..::..String
Command (e.g. "CAPABILITY").
parameters
Type: array<System..::..Object>[]()[][]
List of parameters. Allowed types are String and a byte array.
callback
Type: System..::..AsyncCallback
An optional asynchronous callback to be called when the operation is complete.
state
Type: System..::..Object
A user-provided object that identifies this particular asynchronous operation.

Return Value

An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

The specified string parameters are send as is. It is caller's responsibility to properly format the parameters.
The specified byte array parameters are send as literals - binary blocks of data.
To use this method properly, some understanding of the IMAP protocol is strongly recommended.

A call to SendCommand MUST be followed by a call to ReadResponse method.

Use ReadResponse and SendCommand to implement various custom commands.

In builds for .NET 4.0 and higher, this method is available as an extension method. Add 'using Rebex.Legacy' (C#) or 'Import Rebex.Legacy' (VB.NET) to your code in order to use it.
