Introducing the Lync Controls SDK

Microsoft today announced Lync Server 2010 as the official name for Communications Server “14”.  A release candidate (build 7457) is also available for download at microsoft.com.

Lync includes a new SDK called the Lync Controls SDK that includes WPF and Silverlight controls that developers can use to integrate Microsoft Lync (Communicator) functionality into their applications.  This includes controls for presence, contact lists, search, etc.

In this blog post, you’ll see some of the controls that are a part of the Lync Controls SDK.  I’ll focus on the presence and contact list controls.

Displaying Presence

The PresenceIndicator control is used to display the presence of the contact specified in its Source property.  You can set this value in code behind, directly in XAML, or via binding.
