    Hello, I'm trying retrieve the contact picture that's stored within a contact if the "HasPicture" property is set.  I can't seem to find any examples on how to do this.

    Environment is Exchange 2010, and using EWS Managed API.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    The contact photo is just held in an attachment on the contact where IsContactPhoto photo is set to true eg to download the contact photo from a contact

              Contact cnContact = (Contact)cnItem;
          if (cnContact.HasPicture == true) {
            cnContact.Load();
            foreach (Attachment attachment in cnContact.Attachments) {
              if (attachment is FileAttachment)
              {
                FileAttachment fileAttachment = attachment as FileAttachment;
                if (fileAttachment.IsContactPhoto == true)
                {
                  // Load the file attachment into memory and print out its file name.
                  fileAttachment.Load();
                  Console.WriteLine("Attachment name: " + fileAttachment.Name);

                  // Load attachment contents into a file.
                  fileAttachment.Load("C:\\temp\\" + fileAttachment.Name);

                  // Stream attachment contents into a file.
                  FileStream theStream = new FileStream("C:\\temp\\Stream_" + fileAttachment.Name, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
                  fileAttachment.Load(theStream);
                  theStream.Close();
                  theStream.Dispose();
                }
              }
            }
          }
    Cheers
