Exchange EWS not returning message body for calendar - soap

Question

So i'm trying to fetch all the calendar event from office360.com . I am using ews to get the data. I sent a request of
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types">
<soap:Body>
<FindItem xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"
xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"
Traversal="Shallow">
<ItemShape>
<t:BaseShape>AllProperties</t:BaseShape>
<t:BodyType>HTML</t:BodyType>
</ItemShape>
<ParentFolderIds>
<t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="calendar"/>
</ParentFolderIds>
</FindItem>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
This soap request xml is not returning me the calendar message body but i get the subject and other data . What am i doing wrong here ? any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The body needs to be retrieved in a separate call.

Or you can load the property first.

The second is easier but you need to define all properties you want back and if it is a lot, it can be a pain.
