This topic demonstrates how to use the CustomContactList control in Microsoft Lync Control applications to display an arbitrary customized list of contacts, using Microsoft Silverlight or Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Each item in the contacts list is provided by a CustomContactListItem control.

Prerequisites

For a list of prerequisites, see Walkthrough: Presence Hello World .

  1. Use the Lync Silverlight Application template to create a new Microsoft Silverlight Lync Control application. For more information, see Walkthrough: Presence Hello World .

  2. In Page.xaml, replace the contents of the Grid control with the following XAML.

    <StackPanel>
  <controls:CustomContactList Height="300"
ContactLayoutView="TwoLines">
	<controls:CustomContactListItem

Source="tel:12065550100"/>
	<controls:CustomContactListItem
Source="administrators@contoso.com"/>
  </controls:CustomContactList>
</StackPanel>

  3. Edit the Source properties on the CustomContactListItem controls to provide valid values.
