all I need to do is to retrieve all contacts from Microsoft Exchange. I did some research and the best possible option for me should be to use EWS Managed API. I am using Visual Studio and C# programming leanguage.
I think I am able to connect to Office365 account, because I am able to send a message in a program to specific email. But I am not able to retrieve the contacts.
If I create a contact directly in source code, the contact will be created in Office365->People aplication. But I don't know why! I thought I was working with Exchange aplication.
Summarize: Is there any possibility how to get all contacts from Office365->Admin->Exchange->Acceptencers->Contacts ?
Here is my code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// connecting to my Exchange account
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = CertificateValidationCallBack;
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "password123");
/*
// debugging
service.TraceEnabled = true;
service.TraceFlags = TraceFlags.All;
*/
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]", RedirectionUrlValidationCallback);
// send a message works good
EmailMessage email = new EmailMessage(service);
email.ToRecipients.Add("[email protected]");
email.Subject = "HelloWorld";
email.Body = new MessageBody("Toto je testovaci mail");
email.Send();
// Create the contact creates a contact in Office365 -> People application..Don't know why there and not in Office365 -> Exchange
/*Contact contact = new Contact(service);
// Specify the name and how the contact should be filed.
contact.GivenName = "Brian";
contact.MiddleName = "David";
contact.Surname = "Johnson";
contact.FileAsMapping = FileAsMapping.SurnameCommaGivenName;
// Specify the company name.
contact.CompanyName = "Contoso";
// Specify the business, home, and car phone numbers.
contact.PhoneNumbers[PhoneNumberKey.BusinessPhone] = "425-555-0110";
contact.PhoneNumbers[PhoneNumberKey.HomePhone] = "425-555-0120";
contact.PhoneNumbers[PhoneNumberKey.CarPhone] = "425-555-0130";
// Specify two email addresses.
contact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1] = new EmailAddress("[email protected]");
contact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress2] = new EmailAddress("[email protected]");
// Specify two IM addresses.
contact.ImAddresses[ImAddressKey.ImAddress1] = "[email protected]";
contact.ImAddresses[ImAddressKey.ImAddress2] = " [email protected]";
// Specify the home address.
PhysicalAddressEntry paEntry1 = new PhysicalAddressEntry();
paEntry1.Street = "123 Main Street";
paEntry1.City = "Seattle";
paEntry1.State = "WA";
paEntry1.PostalCode = "11111";
paEntry1.CountryOrRegion = "United States";
contact.PhysicalAddresses[PhysicalAddressKey.Home] = paEntry1;
// Specify the business address.
PhysicalAddressEntry paEntry2 = new PhysicalAddressEntry();
paEntry2.Street = "456 Corp Avenue";
paEntry2.City = "Seattle";
paEntry2.State = "WA";
paEntry2.PostalCode = "11111";
paEntry2.CountryOrRegion = "United States";
contact.PhysicalAddresses[PhysicalAddressKey.Business] = paEntry2;
// Save the contact.
contact.Save();

// Get the number of items in the Contacts folder.
ContactsFolder contactsfolder = ContactsFolder.Bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
Console.WriteLine(contactsfolder.TotalCount);
// Set the number of items to the number of items in the Contacts folder or 50, whichever is smaller.
int numItems = contactsfolder.TotalCount < 50 ? contactsfolder.TotalCount : 50;
// Instantiate the item view with the number of items to retrieve from the Contacts folder.
ItemView view = new ItemView(numItems);
// To keep the request smaller, request only the display name property.
view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, ContactSchema.DisplayName);
// Retrieve the items in the Contacts folder that have the properties that you selected.
FindItemsResults<Item> contactItems = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts, view);
// Display the list of contacts.
foreach (Item item in contactItems)
{
if (item is Contact)
{
Contact contact1 = item as Contact;
Console.WriteLine(contact1.DisplayName);

Console.ReadLine();
