Friends XML example

  • Article

The XML example in this topic is a friend XML string returned to the Outlook Social Connector (OSC) after it calls the ISocialPerson::GetFriendsAndColleagues method. The example shows the friends XML for two friends, each delimited by the person element. Each friend specifies a unique value for the userID element on the social network.

The remaining elements of the friends XML have self-explanatory names. For detailed description of these elements, see XML for Friends.
