Property

Description

PersonTwoLineContentTemplate property

TelephoneTwoLineContentTemplate property

GroupTwoLineContentTemplate property

BotTwoLineContentTemplate property

PersonContentTemplate property

Gets or sets the DataTemplate used to render a contact when the ContactLayoutView property is set to OneLine mode.

TelephoneContentTemplate property

GroupContentTemplate property

Gets or sets the DataTemplate used to render a DistributionGroup-type contact when the ContactLayoutView property is set to OneLine mode.

BotContentTemplate property

ContactLayoutView property

Gets or sets an enumerated value that toggles the display between Show Photos and Show Status Only. The default is Show Photos.

ShowFriendlyName property

Gets or sets whether contacts in the list are shown using their display names or their SIP URIs.

Source property

Gets or sets the contact to display. Valid types include the Contact object, DistributionGroup object, and String.

  • If the value is a string that does not contain the sip: or tel: prefix, the control performs a search, using the string specified as a search criteria, and loads the first contact in the result set matching the specified string. This behavior is not deterministic and yields the slowest performance.

  • If the value is a SIP URI string qualified by the sip: or tel: prefix, the contact is loaded using an exact match of the specified URI. This behavior is deterministic and yields better performance.

  • If the value is a Contact or DistributionGroup object, it's used without changes. This behavior is deterministic and yields the best performance.

Code example

The following example can be used for Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application development.
