Windows Phone 8 Access to Contact details

Here is a small snippet to get the contact details with the AddressChooser task and Contact class (new for Windows Phone 8) for an Windows Phone 8 app:

public MainPage()

{

    InitializeComponent();

    addressTask = new AddressChooserTask();

    addressTask.Completed += addressTask_Completed;

}

private void btnContacts_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    addressTask.Show();

}

void addressTask_Completed(object sender, AddressResult e)

{

    if (e.TaskResult == TaskResult.OK)

    {

        var contacts = new Contacts();

        contacts.SearchCompleted += contacts_SearchCompleted;

        contacts.SearchAsync(e.DisplayName, FilterKind.DisplayName, null); 

    }

}

private void contacts_SearchCompleted(object sender, ContactsSearchEventArgs e)

{

    if (e.Results != null && e.Results.Any())

    {

        var firstOrDefault = e.Results.FirstOrDefault();

        if (firstOrDefault != null)

        {

            var contactPhoneNumber = firstOrDefault.PhoneNumbers.FirstOrDefault(tel => tel.Kind==PhoneNumberKind.Mobile);

            if (contactPhoneNumber != null)

            {

                TextTelephoneNumber.Text = contactPhoneNumber.PhoneNumber;

                SmsNumber.Text = contactPhoneNumber.PhoneNumber;

            }

            var contactEmail = firstOrDefault.EmailAddresses.FirstOrDefault();

            if (contactEmail != null)

            {

                MailAddress.Text = contactEmail.EmailAddress;

            }

        }

    }

}
