How to display channels in ListView using Graph API?

Mar 18 2021 11:37 AM
I’m developing a small Windows form app to test Graph API functions. I have two functionalities in the application, user's log in and get channels for specified team. I created a class that contains functions for user login and for returning channels for specified team. I have a ListView on Form in which I want to show all the channels, but when I call a function for returning channels in button event, nothing happens, nothing is displayed in the ListView. Here is the code:
  1. public static class GraphHelper    
  2. {    
  3.   
  4.     public static GraphServiceClient graphClient;    
  5.     public static string token;    
  6.   
  7.     private static string[] scopes = new string[] { "user.read" };    
  8.     public static string TokenForUser = null;    
  9.     public static DateTimeOffset expiration;    
  10.   
  11.     private const string ClientId = "599ed98d-4356-4a96-ad37-04391e9c48dc";    
  12.   
  13.     private const string Tenant = "common"// Alternatively "[Enter your tenant, as obtained from the Azure portal, e.g. kko365.onmicrosoft.com]"    
  14.     private const string Authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + Tenant;    
  15.   
  16.     // The MSAL Public client app    
  17.     private static IPublicClientApplication PublicClientApp;    
  18.   
  19.     private static string MSGraphURL = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/";    
  20.     private static AuthenticationResult authResult;    
  21.   
  22.     public static GraphServiceClient GetGraphClient(string token)    
  23.     {    
  24.         if (graphClient == null)    
  25.         {    
  26.             // Create Microsoft Graph client.    
  27.             try    
  28.             {

  36.                             requestMessage.Headers.Add("SampleID""uwp-csharp-snippets-sample");    
  37.   
  38.                         }));    
  39.                 return graphClient;    
  40.             }    
  41.   
  42.             catch (Exception ex)

  143.             listView1.Items.Add(item);    
  144.         }    
  145.     }    
  146. }  
Does anyone know how to solve this?
