VCardContact MultiContacts

Hello,

  1. About VCardContact.IsMultiContacts / VCardContact.LoadAsMultiple
    Please advise how to save Mapi DistList to a single multi contact vcf file?
  • Merging multiple vcf files into one single one is as easy as:
    Copy *.vcf MultiContacts.vcf
  1. And also:

MemStm = New MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(vcfPath), False)
VCardContact.IsMultiContacts(MemStm)

Will always return True for single contact vcf files!

Let me clarify, by multi contact, do you mean the same thing as we export from Android?
Thanks :slight_smile:

@australian.dev.nerds,

  1. The possibility is not supported, I will create a feature ticket.
  2. It is a bug, I will create a ticket also.

Yes, it is the same.

Thank you.

Hello,
Email.PersonalInfo.VCard.VCardContact.IsMultiContacts(stream).ToString
Now always returns False, even for multi contact vcf files :slight_smile:

You can test these 2 attached vcf files against IsMultiContacts to see the behavior:

  • CMulti2.vcf is directly exported from Google contacts!

CMulti.zip (184.8 KB)

Hello @australian.dev.nerds,

Can you please double-check your tests? I checked both files and the method returns true as expected.
Thanks.

So so so sorry, always forget to set Position = 0
Do you think it’s wise to add a file overload to .IsMultiContacts?

Beside that, one we load a multi contact vcf to VCardContact, how to enumerate/loop through the inner contacts? Didn’t find the proper methods!

Yes, possibly.

please consider the VCardContact.LoadAsMultiple method.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks, yep that was not in the common list, found it.

Please kindly load this vcf as multiple:

VCF.zip (76.6 KB)

9 contacts inside, items number 3,4,5 and 8,9 cannot be read at all, I mean no any properties will return the email address which is clearly inside the vcf! Snapshot + vcf attached

I mean having a IsMultiContacts( inputFile as String) overload, possible to have?

Hi, I can read all contacts inside a multi vcf file, just don’t know how to create a new MSG with DistList class and add all contacts from vcf to new DistList msg and vise versa, any tips? :slight_smile:

Hello,
Just to inform you that 23.3 release fixed this case partially, unless I’m mistaken, no string overload to accept direct files is added, not vital, just wanted to share :slight_smile:
