Code sample topic

Learn about the quick-start samples and application reference samples that are installed with Microsoft Lync 2013 SDK.

Applies to: Lync 2013 | Lync Server 2013

The two comprehensive reference samples provide a broader look at the API. Use a reference sample to see how to build an application that implements a complete scenario using combinations of Lync Controls and objects from the Lync 2013 API object model.

The SDK installation program places the samples in the *%PROGRAMFILES%\*Microsoft Lync\SDK\Samples folder on 32-bit computers and the %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Lync\SDK\Samples folder on 64-bit computers.
