Remarks

Typically, you access ContactInformation objects as the result of asynchronous method and/or function calls. For example, both of the static methods PickSingleContactAsync and PickMultipleContactsAsync return ContactInformation objects that represent the selected contact.

When your app receives contact information from a contact provider, the data for each contact is returned in a ContactInformation object.

Examples

This code demonstrates how a ContactInformation object is returned to an app after a user selects a contact.

function selectContact() {
    var picker = Windows.ApplicationModel.Contacts.ContactPicker();
    picker.commitButtonText = "Select";
    picker.selectionMode = Windows.ApplicationModel.Contacts.ContactSelectionMode.fields;
    picker.desiredFields.append(Windows.ApplicationModel.Contacts.KnownContactField.email);
    picker.pickSingleContactAsync().then(function (contact) {
        var contactElement = document.createElement("div");
        contactElement.innerText = contact.name + " " + contact.emails[0].value;
        document.body.appendChild(contactElement);
    });
}
