Thanks Julian, I'm sure that this code will work, but that's not where my
issue lay. I was (and remain) confused about the
"Google.GData.Contacts.GroupMembershipInfo" class. This doesn't exist - at
least, not in the .NET client.
The method I am using to ensure that a contact is in the "My Contacts"
system group is as follows:
Firstly find the ID of the "My Contacts" group by looking through all the
groups until you find a System Group called "Contacts".
GroupsQuery MyGroupQuery = new
GroupsQuery(GroupsQuery.CreateGroupsUri("default"));
GroupsFeed MyGroupFeed = GContactService.Query(MyGroupQuery);
string MyContactGroupID = "";
foreach (GroupEntry ge in MyGroupFeed.Entries)
{
if (ge.SystemGroup == "Contacts")
MyContactGroupID = ge.Id.AbsoluteUri;
}
Then create a GroupMembership with its HRef as the Absolute URI of the "My
Contacts" group. Finally add this GroupMembership to your contact.
GroupMembership gm = new GroupMembership();
gm.HRef = MyContactGroupID;
entry.GroupMembership.Add(gm);
The contact entry is now in the "My Contacts" group.
It all looks a little crude to me - but it works.
So, unless I've done something stupid here, my problem has been sorted.
Thanks for your help on this Julian.
