The Add Contacts sample is a Microsoft® Windows® application that shows how to automate the process of adding a list of users to each other’s contact lists. All users in the list must already be provisioned for MapPoint Location Server.

Running the Sample in Visual Studio .NET 2003

Note   You must install the MapPoint Location Server Management API assemblies along with the Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 on your development computer to run this sample. For more information about requirements, see MapPoint Location Server Application Development Requirements.

To run the sample

  1. In Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET, on the File menu point to New, and then click Project.

  2. In the left pane of the New Project dialog box, click Visual Basic Projects or Visual C# Projects, and then click the Windows Application template.

  3. In the Name field, change WindowsApplication1 to AddContacts, and then click OK.

  4. On the Project menu, click Add Existing Item.

  5. Navigate to the appropriate project subfolder in the Add Contacts folder, select All Files in the Files of type dialog box, and then select all available files.
