Hi,
It is true that the documentation for Contacts in .NET is not in good
shape, but, we are working on getting it up to date.
Here is a sample that should help you get users groups, create new
groups and add a group to users, I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Julian.
Sample:
ContactsService contactsService = new ContactsService("myDemoApps");
// Using ClientLogin username/password authentication
contactsService.setUserCredentials("[email protected]", "Password");
// Uri for Group operations for the user
Uri groupUri = new Uri(GroupsQuery.CreateGroupsUri
("[email protected]"));
// List all Groups for the user
GroupsFeed groupsFeed = contactsService.Query(new GroupsQuery
(groupUri.AbsoluteUri));
foreach (GroupEntry entry in groupsFeed.Entries)
{
Console.WriteLine( entry.Title.Text + "\r\n " );
Console.WriteLine( entry.Id.AbsoluteUri + "\r\n ");
}
// Create a new Group
GroupEntry newGroup = new GroupEntry();
newGroup.Title.Text = "New Group Title 3";
newGroup.Summary.Text = "Group's Summary 3";
newGroup = contactsService.Insert(groupUri, newGroup) as GroupEntry;
// New Group's ID
string newGroupID = newGroup.Id.AbsoluteUri;
ContactsQuery query = new ContactsQuery
( ContactsQuery.CreateContactsUri("default"));
ContactsFeed feed = contactsService.Query(query);
foreach (ContactEntry entry in feed.Entries)
{
// new Group membership element, is use to add the new group to each
user.
GroupMembership groupMembership = new GroupMembership();
groupMembership.HRef = newGroupID;
entry.GroupMembership.Add(groupMembership);
entry.Update();
}
