Import Email contact in asp.net 4

Import Email contact in asp.net 4

Previously there was third party tool called Octazen now it’s gone.

The best way for contact importing is API usage form email service providers.

These are the API links

Yahoo:   http://developer.yahoo.com/addressbook/

Gmail:    http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/1.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html

AOL:      http://dev.aol.com/article/2007/integrating_openauth_into_aspnet

Hotmail:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463989.aspx

There is c# .net code in below link and I have download and tested code in below link.

You can download the code form below link

But using AOL: http://dev.aol.com/article/2007/integrating_openauth_into_aspnet link I have tried to imports the contact but I couldn’t import the contact form above mention API.

There are only limited support from AOL API it is saying contact API is coming soon 2008 onwards.

It’s seems to be it will not be available.

AOL developer support is very less. ( Egg: http://dev.aol.com/user/83)

Although this very difficult find code from internet there are plenty of third party tool available for this those are paid one.
