I am using EWS and wish to obtain the global address list from exchange for the company. I know how to retrieve the personal contact list.
All the samples in the API documentation deal with updating user information but not specifically how to retrieve them.
I've even tried the following to list the folders but it doesn't yeild the correct results.
private static void ListFolder(ExchangeService svc, FolderId parent, int depth) {
string s;
foreach (var v in svc.FindFolders(parent, new FolderView(int.MaxValue))) {
Folder f = v as Folder;
if (f != null) {
s = String.Format("[{0}]", f.DisplayName);
Console.WriteLine(s.PadLeft(s.Length + (depth * 2)));
ListFolder(svc, f.Id, depth + 1);
try {
foreach (Item i in f.FindItems(new ItemView(20))) {
Console.WriteLine(
i.Subject.PadLeft(i.Subject.Length + ((depth + 1) * 2)));
}
} catch (Exception) {
}
}
}
}
While the question has already been raised (How to get contact list from Exchange Server?) this question deals specifically with using EWS to get the global address list while this question asks for advice on a general level.
