I've asked this question on the MSDN forums a week ago, but unfortunately I don't get a reply. This functionality is so basic that I can't imagine this can't be done. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c6aaaefe-92e1-45b3-8b41-8edbc9866058/cannot-get-picture-of-contacts?forum=communicatorsdk
We are developing a Lync SupressedUI Client with the Lync Client SDK. We want to show the photo of contacts of the logged in user. When we turn off UISupression we do get a photo. When we turn on UISupression we do not get a photo.
There are 3 ContactInformationTypes that could be relevant: - ContactInformationType.Photo - ContactInformationType.IconStream - ContactInformationType.IconUrl
When using Photo it does work when UISupression is turned off. But not when UISupression is turned on. The exception that we get is: ItemNotFoundException
When using IconStream we get the exception: FileNotFound Exception. The exception does not tell which file. This is part of the message: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002
When calling ContactInformationType.IconUri we are getting an ItemNotFoundException.
Showing the photo of the logged in user is not a problem at all. Strange enough when contacts are in the frequently used contacts group we do get a photo.
Has anybody made it work to show photos of contactpersons when UISupression is turned on?
