Saving a Contact’s Email Using the SaveEmailAddressTask

The SaveEmailAddressTask is a chooser that allows the user to save a specified email address using the built-in Contacts application.

SaveEmailAddressTask does not return data, but its Completed event can be handled to determine whether the task was completed correctly.

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