how can I run WLC Sample Code to retrieve WL contacts List properly？

Question

 

I get a c# code sample from blow url:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463974.aspx

how can I modify the code for run it properly?

I think may be I must make some modify :

at first I want to run it by using then Sample Live id : [e-mail]

but I don't know the detail of Modify,such as:

 

Code Snippet

public const string strSampleWLID = "[e-mail]";
public const string strSampleSignedIntLid = "4758200975490831962";//need Modify? how to?
public const string strSampleHostName = "livecontacts.services.live.com";//need Modify? how to?cumulus.services.live.com?

// Authentication information
public const string strSampleDelegatedToken = "";//how to assign it?
public const string strSampleAuthHeaderValue = "DelegatedToken dt=\"" + Program.strSampleDelegatedToken + "\"";

// Define configuration information.
public const int iSamplePort = 443;//need Modify? how to?
public const string strSamplePOSTDataFile = "SamplePOST.xml";//need Modify XML Source?
public const string strSamplePUTDataFile = "SamplePUT.xml";//need Modify XML Source?
public const string strSampleErrorDataFile = "ErrorResponse.xml";

 

 

 

my next Scenario is by using my own Live ID,in this case how can I modify the code to implment it？

 

thanks a lot at first

Answer 1

Here is some sample code that I had. It should help you get started with sending receiving requests from Live contacts. Put in a valid username and password for it to work. You'll need to copy paste the code in a new console application and add references to:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Net;

    {
        static void Main(string[] args)

            string username = "[e-mail]";//Put a username here
            string password = "somepassword"; //Put password here
            string ticket = new TicketAcquirer(username, password).GetTicket();
            if (null == ticket)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Unable to authenticate. Possibly invalid username / passwd");
                return;
            }
            else
                System.Console.WriteLine("Authenticated: " + username);

            List<string> lst = new LiveContacts(username, ticket).GetAllContactIds();

Hi, Microshaoft:

 

     You may want to start reading the tutorial from http://dev.live.com/contacts/  You need to familiarize yourself with the concepts of "Delegation Token based authentication", RESTful http request, etc.  All of these buzzwords may seem intimedating but they are actually rather straightforward stuff.  After ramping up these basic knowledge, the sample code will make a lot more sense and you will be able to easily modify them to do what you want.

     Thanks.
