Yeah, it's pretty confusing, that's for sure. Especially when
transferring from one system that returns contacts as one big long easy
to parse string and going to this objectmodel. Constantly shifting gears ...
Here's what I have, sort of a paraphrase of what I have actually ......
In essences, the actual update is the same as just a plain contact, you
just have to add the phone numbers and such to the entry. Here's what
I've been using. For about three days of testing now :)
A function here called AdBkEntryValue() parses a value out of the return
set (called <entry>) from my source system, just know that it returns a
string (possibly with newlines in it) of something reasonable here or an
empty string if there's no value in the source.
// Create the contact entry that we will populate
ContactEntry newContact = new ContactEntry();
// Throw the display name into there. The assumption is
// that the display name is what the contact is known as.
newContact.Title.Text = AdBkEntryValue("cn", entry);
// Create the email property and add it. Set relationship
// to be IsOther for all addresses, since Mirapoint only
// has one kind of email per contact. And since it's the
// only address, set it to be the primary one.
EMail newEmail = new EMail(AdBkEntryValue("mail", entry));
newEmail.Primary = true;
newEmail.Rel = ContactsRelationships.IsOther;
newContact.Emails.Add(newEmail);
// if there's a postal address, add that, too. Relationship
// and primary is set like for the email address.
t = AdBkEntryValue("postaladdress", entry);
if (t != "")
{
PostalAddress newPostal = new PostalAddress();
// Also add in things like City, Province etc that Mirapoint
// splits out but Google throws into one big box.
t += "\r\n";
t += AdBkEntryValue("l", entry) + " "; // city
t += AdBkEntryValue("st", entry) + " "; // prov
t += AdBkEntryValue("postalcode", entry) + "\r\n"; // postal
t += AdBkEntryValue("c", entry); // countty
newPostal.Value = t;
newPostal.Primary = true;
newPostal.Rel = ContactsRelationships.IsOther;
newContact.PostalAddresses.Add(newPostal);
}
// Assorted stuff. Just text.
// Also throw in the anniversary and birthdates here.
t = AdBkEntryValue("description", entry);
// these next two return any date in there if needed
t += AdBkEntryDate("anniversary", entry);
t += AdBkEntryDate("birth", entry);
t += "\r\nWebsite: ";
t += AdBkEntryValue("homeurl", entry);
if (t != "")
{
newContact.Content.Content = t;
}
// Phone numbers, how they translate
// Mirapoint Name Primary true if Google Name
// -------------------------- --------------- -----------
// telephonenumber: primaryphone=0 Work
// homephone: primaryphone=1 Home
// mobile: primaryphone=2 Mobile
// pager: primaryphone=3 Pager
// facsimiletelephonenumber: primaryphone=4 Work Fax
// n/a Home Fax
// n/a Other
//
// "telephonenumber"/"Work", primaryphone=0
t = AdBkEntryValue("telephonenumber", entry);
if (t != "")
{
PhoneNumber p = new PhoneNumber(t);
p.Label = "Work";
p.Primary = (AdBkEntryValue("primaryphone", entry)=="0");
newContact.Phonenumbers.Add(p);
}
// "homephone"/"Home", primaryphone=1
t = AdBkEntryValue("homephone", entry);
if (t != "")
{
PhoneNumber p = new PhoneNumber(t);
p.Label = "Home";
p.Primary = (AdBkEntryValue("primaryphone", entry)=="1");
newContact.Phonenumbers.Add(p);
}
// "mobile"/"Mobile", primaryphone=2
t = AdBkEntryValue("mobile", entry);
if (t != "")

}
// the "facsimiletelephonenumber"/"Work Fax", primaryphone=4
t = AdBkEntryValue("facsimiletelephonenumber", entry);
if (t != "")
{
PhoneNumber p = new PhoneNumber(t);
p.Label = "Work Fax";
p.Primary = (AdBkEntryValue("primaryphone", entry)=="4");
newContact.Phonenumbers.Add(p);
}
// Fill in the Organization and Job Title fields, if there.
// First see if the two together have anything, if yes
// then build the entry and add it.
t = AdBkEntryValue("o", entry) + AdBkEntryValue("title", entry);
if (t != "")
{
Organization newOrganization = new Organization();
t = AdBkEntryValue("o", entry);
if (t != "")
{
newOrganization.Name = t;
}
t = AdBkEntryValue("title", entry);
if (t != "")
{
newOrganization.Title = t;
}
// No idea what this line does. But it doesn't
// break and it's in the sample code.
newOrganization.Rel =
"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#other";;
newContact.Organizations.Add(newOrganization);
}
// Add the contact to the group. Actually, we add the group
// to the contact, but the effect is the same. First, get the
// category name by grabbing the number and then translating.
// And we don't do the "Unfiled" group, because it's Unfiled.
t = AdBkEntryValue("category", entry).ToUpper();
// if the length returned is pretty big, assume that the
// contact group is specified by name, otherwise, translate
// the numericreference Mirapoint uses to the name the user has
if ( t.Length < 6 ) // unlikely anyone has > 99999 groups
{
t = CategoryNumberToName(MiraGroupList, t).ToUpper();
}
if (t != "UNFILED")
{
// go though the groups list in google and see if
// we get a match by name, case-insensitive
for (int i = 0; i < GoogGroupList.Length; i++)
{
// if we have a match, add the group.
if (GoogGroupList[i].Title.Text.ToUpper() == t)
{
GroupMembership GrpMbr = new GroupMembership();
GrpMbr.HRef = GoogGroupList[i].Id.AbsoluteUri;
newContact.GroupMembership.Add(GrpMbr);
}
}
}
And then here, you just insert the contact with all the information
you've added to it into Google.
HTH.
