ContactFieldType and ContactFieldCategory in Windows 8.1

Question

I'm using 8.1, and don't see a Type of Category for contact fields, for example the object in the Contact.Emails. But I see a Kind field in the same object though. Going forward, should I use Kind and not Type or Category?

Thanks.

Answer 4

I think so because Type and Category are not available.

Answer 5

Contact.Emails should return an System.Collections.Generic.IList<ContactEmail> object, and ContactEmail class does not have any Type or Category Properties, only Kind exist.
