Thanks Glenn,

I am trying the sample.
In the sample a new contact has been created and then we are getting its
Entry ID.
but if I dont create the new contact and add the existing contact from
Address book or outside address book to created DL.
Then how do we get the entry id for Contacts added into the DL?

Hi Glenn ..

I have tried the steps mentioned in link suggested but I am not able to
populate the DL with Contacts.
There is no error in Response but Contact is not populated.

Query used for populating the DL is:

xmlns:b='urn:schemas-microsoft-
com:datatypes' xmlns:c='xml:'
xmlns:d='http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062004-0000-0000-C000-

The 0x8054 property should hold the MAPI one-off entry Identifier for the
contact which you should be able to generate using
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms529856(VS.85).aspx.

I would suggest using a Mapi editor (like Outlookspy or MfcMapi32) and then
compare the values your setting against a DL that you create and populate
using the normal client like Outlook or OWA. Unfortunately there is no easy
way to go about this but if you whiling to spend a few hours patiently
reverse engineering it you should be able to do this. (sorry I haven't done
it myself else I would have posted some code). Good luck and if you feel
like sharing your efforts I think other people would appreciate it.

Cheers
Glen

Glenn...
finally i was able to resolve the issue ....by using Mapi property
named
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/Dlmembers
http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/Dloneoffmembers
This helped me to inject the members of DL. This is same as property
0x8054/0x8055 .... and as suggested by Ben...
but doing it with dlmembers/dloneofmembers it worked for me:)

Cheers

It would be nice if you could post your code to help others out (if
possible) ?
