Remarks

Note

Because you don't use PickSingleContactAsync and PickMultipleContactsAsync in your Windows 8.1 and later apps, you don't instantiate ContactInformation objects in your Windows 8.1 and later apps.This table shows existing Windows 8 ContactInformation properties and their equivalent Windows 8.1 Contact properties.

Windows 8 ContactInformation property	Windows 8.1 Contact property
Contact.Name	Contact.Name
Contact.Thumbnail	Contact.Thumbnail
Contact.Fields	Contact.Emails
Contact.Fields where ContactField.Value = Address and ContactField.Category = ContactFieldCategory.Home or ContactFieldCategory.Other	Contact.Addresses
Contact.Fields	Contact.Phones
ContactField.Value	ContactEmail.Address
ContactField.Category(Home,Work,Other)	ContactEmail.Kind(Personal,Work,Other)
ContactField.Value	ContactPhone.Number
ContactField.Category(Home, Work, Mobile, Other)	ContactPhone.Kind(Home,Work,Mobile,Other)
Contact.Fields where ContactField.Value = CompanyAddress and ContactField.Category = ContactFieldCategory.Work	ContactJobInfo.CompanyAddress

Typically, you access ContactInformation objects as the result of asynchronous method and/or function calls. For example, both of the static methods PickSingleContactAsync and PickMultipleContactsAsync return ContactInformation objects that represent the selected contact.

When your app receives contact information from a contact provider, the data for each contact is returned in a ContactInformation object.
