Developing Lync Applications

Abstract

The Lync features are provided to developers to make custom Lync applications or embed Lync features within an existing application. In this chapter I will show you how to build a custom Lync application. You’ll start out with a simple application that includes a presence indicator in a WPF application. You’ll then use more of the standard Lync controls to enhance the application by adding a contact search feature and a custom contact list. Finally, you’ll use Lync automation to start a conversation and dock the conversation window in your custom application.
