Something I’ve been working on for another project and until Google updates their official library here is my own version. There are few missing pieces but for the most part it’s all there. I’ll post updates to the code as I make them but for now if you are familiar with the way the current library works then this won’t be any different.

You will need a reference to the Google .Net Data API’s (duh) also in your project.

            ContactService cs = new ContactService(”contactr”);
            cs.SetAuthenticationToken(Properties.Settings.Default.AuthToken);

            ContactQuery query = new ContactQuery();
            query.Uri = new Uri(
                string.Format(”http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/{0}/base”,
                              Properties.Settings.Default.GoogleLogin)
                );
            query.NumberToRetrieve = 1000;
            query.ShowDeleted = false;

           ContactFeed feed = cs.Query(query) as ContactFeed;
           if (feed == null)
                Console.WriteLine(”Feed is empty”);
           string emailString = “”;
           foreach (ContactEntry contactEntry in feed.Entries)
           {
                if(contactEntry.FullName != null)
                {
                    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(string.Format(”{0}”, contactEntry.FullName));
                    foreach (GoogleContacts.ContactExtensions.Email address in contactEntry.Emails)
                        if (address.Primary) {
                            emailString = address.Address;
                            if (address.Label != null)
                                emailString += string.Format(” ({0})”, address.Label);
                        }
                   // write out the simplified contact item.
                    Console.WriteLine(emailString);
                }
            }
