Microsoft.Phone.UserData Namespace

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

The Microsoft.Phone.UserData namespace provides types for interacting with a user’s contact and calendar data.

The main classes are the Contacts, Contact, Appointments, and Appointment classes. The Contacts class allows you to search a user’s contact data and returns a collection of Contact objects. The Appointments class allows you to search a user’s calendar and returns a collection of Appointment objects.

Windows Phone provides an aggregated view of the user’s contact and calendar data across the user's different accounts. Information can come from sources such as data entered in the phone itself, social networking sites, and other data service providers. Not all data from all service providers is exposed publicly through this API. For more information, see Contacts and Calendar for Windows Phone 8.
