ContactList Control
Use the ContactList control in Microsoft Lync 2010 Control applications to display the Microsoft Lync 2010 contacts list, and give users the ability to start voice, instant messaging (IM), or email conversations with any of their contacts. The control supports Group, Relationship, and Status views, in the same manner as Microsoft Lync 2010, and includes the option to switch between status only, and status with photo display modes. The ContactList control gives users the ability to copy, move, delete, multi-select and sort contacts, set status alerts, and manage privacy settings.
There are two differences in the behavior of this control between the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft Silverlight versions:
The WPF version of this control starts the default conversation with a contact on double-click. Silverlight on the other hand, does not support double click.
The WPF version of this control includes clipboard functionality on the context menu to copy the URI of one or more selected contacts, as well as paste a copied set of contacts into a new custom group. The Silverlight version does not support clipboard functionality.
