Is there any good c# library that extracts gmail,yahoomail and AOL contacts? Any suggestion...
I looked at Opencontacts.net and i used opencontacts.dll in my asp.net web application but i can't able to make it work... It shows an error Could not load file or assembly 'Utilities, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
....
I did this,
OpenContactsNet.GmailExtract gm = new OpenContactsNet.GmailExtract();
NetworkCredential nw =new NetworkCredential("chendur.pandiya@gmail.com","***");
OpenContactsNet.MailContactList ml = new OpenContactsNet.MailContactList();
gm.Extract(nw, out ml);
I am in search of any other c# library which would do my needs....
I haven't seen a good one that works with all of them. Its fairly easy to consume the individual services individually as there is .net examples for all of them. I would probably consume them individually any ways and then maybe extract a common interface if possible so that other popular webmail services could be added as needed.

RequestSettings rs = new RequestSettings(this.ApplicationName, this.userName, this.passWord);
// AutoPaging results in automatic paging in order to retrieve all contacts
rs.AutoPaging = true;
ContactsRequest cr = new ContactsRequest(rs);
Feed<Contact> f = cr.GetContacts();
foreach (Contact e in f.Entries)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + e.Title);
foreach (EMail email in e.Emails)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + email.Address);
}
foreach (GroupMembership g in e.GroupMembership)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + g.HRef);
}
foreach (IMAddress im in e.IMs)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + im.Address);
}
}
You should add using System.Net;
`using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
/*CREDENTIAL CLASS' NAMESPACE*/
using System.Net;
using OpenContactsNet;
namespace WebApplication1
{
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenContactsNet.GmailExtract gm = new OpenContactsNet.GmailExtract();
NetworkCredential nw = new NetworkCredential("tresorunikin@gmail.com", "titinik");
OpenContactsNet.MailContactList ml = new OpenContactsNet.MailContactList();
gm.Extract(nw, out ml);
//Triyng to Show somethin
Response.Write(ml.Count+" Contacts : ");
foreach(MailContact mc in ml){
Response.Write(mc.Email+"<hr size='1'/>");
}
}
}
}`
This is the new link of Gmail contact import 2.0 for .Net developers
The missing "Utilities" assembly is located in the \Lib folder under the OpenContactsNet project download (OpenContactsNet\Lib\Utilites.dll).
However, I don't think it works that well anymore. This library is pretty outdated.
