Remarks

A contact can contain a lot of information. If you want all of this information, set the SelectionMode property to return the entire contact. If you are only interested in specific fields, set this property to return only a selection of fields, then use the DesiredFields property to specify which fields you want.

Use the ContactSelectionMode enumeration to set the value of this property.
