Introduction

This sample shows how to connect a Windows console application to a Microsoft work or school (Azure Active Directory) or personal (Microsoft) account using the Microsoft Graph API. It uses the Microsoft Graph API to retrieve a user's profile picture, upload the picture to OneDrive, create a sharing link, and send an email that contains the photo as an attachment and the sharing link in its text. It uses the Microsoft Graph .NET Client Library to work with data returned by Microsoft Graph. The sample uses the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint, which enables users to sign in with either their personal or work or school Microsoft accounts.

The sample uses the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for authentication.
