WP8 Custom Contact Store

windows-phone-8

Solution

Try add ID_CAP_CONTACTS capability into WMAppManifest.xml file in your project.

UnauthorizedAccessException is a common exception type which is thrown when a certain capability is missing from manifest. We can only wonder why MS guys forgot to add such an important tip into MSDN docs.

Problem

I tried to create custom contact store at WP8. My code (from msdn): ``` async public void AddContact(string remoteId, string givenName, string familyName, string email, string codeName) { ContactStore store = await ContactStore.CreateOrOpenAsync(); } private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { AddContact("0", "Sample", "Sample", "sample@tut.by", "32"); } ``` When I click on button it occurs System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. . I don't understand, what happens?
