HRESULT Remove(
   [in] IDispatch* pMContact
);

Parameters

Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.

S_OK

Success.

E_FAIL

The object pointed to by pMContact is not in the collection (as determined locally by the client).

E_POINTER

pMContact is a null pointer.

E_NOTIMPL

Cannot be accessed through scripting.

If this method is successful (returns S_OK), invoking this method results in a DMessengerEvents::OnContactListRemove event. This event includes any errors generated by the server, including MSGR_E_USER_NOT_FOUND, on an attempt to remove an IMessengerContact object that did not exist in a list. For managed code applications, passing a null pointer to a contact object raises a synchronous ArgumentException exception that must be caught.

Contacts can be restored to the contact list by retrieving the contact from the "Recent Contacts" store in the local machine registry. For more information, see Adding and Removing Contacts from the List.

This code fragment assumes a cocreatable Messenger object has been instantiated and a user has been signed in to a running Office Communicator. The contactToRemove is a pointer to an IDispatch interface on the IMessengerContact object. The call to the remove method raises an event asynchronously with the result of the call only if a synchronous exception is not raised by the initial call. For example, if the contactToRemove object is null when the call is made. For the purposes of this example, the code does not attempt to discover the state of contactToRemove before calling the remove method.

	Copy Code
// create a contact list object for signed in user IMessengerContacts messengerContacts = (IMessengerContacts)messenger.MyContacts; try { messengerContacts.Remove(contactToRemove); } catch (ArgumentException) { Console.WriteLine("Invalid Argument"); } catch (COMException ce) { Console.WriteLine(ce.ErrorCode.ToString() + " Message: " + CE.message.Trim()); }
