ContactCard control list Loads three Microsoft.Lync.Controls.ContactCard controls into a list on a page in a Silverlight or WPF application.

•WPF sample location: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\ContactCardDesktop

•Silverlight sample location: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\ContactCardSilverlight

ContactList control Populates a page with the Microsoft.Lync.Controls.ContactList control and then lists the SIP URI values for the contacts in the list.

•WPF sample location: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\ContactListDesktop

•Silverlight sample location: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\ContactListSilverlight

StartConversation Uses the Automation class in the Lync Model API to start a new conversation with one Lync contact. Features include:

•Uses the Automation API in Lync to start a new conversation with new Lync contacts.

•The conversation can start with IM modalities.

Path: %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\StartConversation or %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office 2013\LyncSDK\Samples\microsamples.zip\StartConversation

Thanks for the reply, But I want to use Rest Clint for chatting. I am not using the Lync SDK. Can I do it with Rest Client?? — anand, Mar 24 '14 at 07:10

UCWA can be used to create Windows 8 apps. Because UCWA is essentially just HTTP request/response, it can be used anywhere that you can get an HTTP stack.

There is a working example of sending an IM using UCMWA (complete with code) at http://ucwa.lync.com/explore - check that out first. That site also has lots of information, code samples and helper libraries to get you started.

Shelby Hagman has a great post on how to set up an Conversation and send IMs, it's at http://blogs.claritycon.com/ucpractice/2013/05/14/ucwa-numbers-3-communication/
