Hi,
just wondering, has anyone here managed to programmatically add/retrieve contacts from an live account?
We are using outlook.com to sync contacts across our devices, since we are using windows phone I thought using one live account might simplify things
I've written code to copy across the contacts to outlook, but I can only get it to go to the default contacts folder. So far I've just been deleting all contacts then manually copying them over, the only problem is this takes a few hours to follow through onto the phones, not the end of the world, but it would be much nicer for it to be done automatically.
is there a special way to get it to work with an exchange/active sync contacts list?
another question I can't seem to find an answer for, is it possible to work with outlook contacts as record set, we have approx 3,000, and so far when a change is made to a record on our db, it will search every contact (for each changed record) then update the one that matches with its unique id, seems a bit of a slow way to do things, was hoping there was another way, I've seen examples of loading all the contacts into a record set, but the only way I can see would then be to delete all existing contacts and rewrite all the records to outlook again, which would take a long time to sync on the devices.
If its of any use, I'm using office 2013 on windows 8.1
