Abstract
The Microsoft Live SDK is a set of APIs that allow developers to integrate a user’s Windows Live account and related services within a Windows Phone application. This chapter will walk through the necessary steps to download and install the SDK, as well as how to incorporate the Live Connect APIs to authenticate a user, retrieve a user’s list of Hotmail contacts and calendar information, and access files in a user’s SkyDrive account.

By the time you read this, SkyDrive may be called something completely different due to a trademark infringement case that was filed by a British company against Microsoft over the use of the word sky. The latest reports indicate that Microsoft settled the case and will rebrand SkyDrive. ( www.pcworld.com/article/2045634/microsoft-to-rename-skydrive-after-losing-trademark-suit.html/ ). For now, we will continue to use SkyDrive to refer to Microsoft’s cloud storage product until a new name has been announced.
