Hello,

are you talking about a contact in a Public folder or private mailbox? Or a
user/contact in Active Directory?

Best regards,
Henning Krause

Well,

those entries from the address book may come from both sources: From the
Contacts folder of the logged on user, as well as the Active Directory.

To query the Active Directory for the GAL, see
http://www.infinitec.de/articles/exchange/getgal.aspx.

To access Exchange mailboxes, you can use either WebDAV, or (if your ASP.NET
code runs on the Exchange Server) ExOleDB with CDOEx. The latter one works
using Interop, the WebDAV approach uses the HTTP Protocol.

You can find plenty of WebDAV examples on the above website.

Best regards,
Henning Krause

You can write simple mapi code to do the trick, which is much more simple
then dav or using LDAP code. and just use emsabp32.dll to look up your
entries right from the address book. If you want to see specific properties
you can download MFCMapi and log on with an online profile, open the ab
hierarchy and see the gal. Once you are in the gal open your user and all
the MAPI properties are exposed.
