where to download MSN API Reference

[Deepesh]

Hi All,

In one of my apps i need to import contacts(buddy list) from MSN and/or
Windows messenger whichever is installed. I know there is a object model for
these two software which can be used for this task but i'm not finding the
API reference anywhere.... i got few links pointing to microsoft.com but
they are now broken!!! Can someone give me new URL from where I can download
the API reference?

also, is there any significant difference between the Object models of these
two software.. if i write one code, would it work for both of them or i will
have to write two pieces?

Thanks in advance
Deepesh

Thanks alot ...

Can you give me some inputs on the difference between MSN and windows
Messenger? I have written code to import contacts from Windows Messenger
which works perfectly fine as long as Windows Messenger is open and
signed-in. However, If none of MSN and Windows messenger are open.. it opens
MSN messenger and tries to sign-in... which is quite confusing..

I'm using IMessengerApp3 for signing in to the service and IMsgrObject2
interface for importing contacts....

Hi Deepesh,

I think you mean it automatically opens Windows Messenger and tries to sign in, but
regardless, there's no real documentation on the differences, your best bet is to ask here:

Thanks alot for the link!
Well, I meant it opens up MSN Messenger.. its kinda strange...because it
opens up MSN Messenger but cannot read contacts from there.. it doesnt open
Windows messenger but if its open, it reads contacts from there... I dnt
understand whats going on beneath...
