LyncCustomControl.xaml
The following example shows the Microsoft Silverlight page .xaml file. This code creates three buttons that start Click event handlers in the code behind, and a list box to display URIs.

LyncCustomControl.xaml.cs
The following example shows the content of the Silverlight page code-behind file. This code creates a new user group in the Microsoft Lync client, displays URIs of group members in a list box, and sends an instant message to the selected URIs.
