hi, welcome to the forums.. why are you asking this? what client are you working on?
anyways, there are two things to look at the ABFindAll request and the FindMemberships action that are used *together* to get the initial contact list... what you are looking at (SharingService.asmx) is the FindMemberships action, which only tells you if a contact is in your allow/blocked/reverse list.. what you need to get the information you want is in the ABFindAll action of the "https://byrdr.omega.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx" service.. I suggest you have a look at amsn's SVN's addresbook.tcl for more info about it.

thank you for your reply

i did use (https://byrdr.omega.contacts.msn.com/abservice/abservice.asmx service) to get the contact info, but i can not see any information about address phone number ...........

for instance

i have a msn contact davis@hotmail.com

i can see his information on msn client such as address phone no

but i can not find anything in the xml file

is that because msn update their protocol?

thank you

sorry again

i got the contact info such as phone location for the contact which have entered information long back. But when I create a new user for example abc@hotmail.com and provide details information for phone, address etc. I use the same API to check the contact information, I can only get the very old one, but I cannot get the newly created information.

Is that because of msn protocol updates to Windows Live?

Thanks

Hi, the information you get is what the contact has set, not what you have set for the contact... It should also contain what you set for the contact BUT WLM is quite bugged and it doesn't always update the server with that info (it should be in the annotations I think), so it only saves it locally...
