Windows® Phone 8 Unleashed

Selecting an Email Address with the EmailAddressChooserTask

The email address chooser task launches the Windows Phone Contacts application and allows the user to select a contact. When the user completes the task, the Completed event is raised, and the event handler receives an EmailResult object that exposes a string containing the selected contact’s email address.

Note

To query the user’s contact list, without requiring the user to select a contact, use the Contacts class, which is described later in this chapter.

The EmailAddressChooserTask should be defined as a field in your class, like so:
