Or you can directly download with the following
That Set Up will installs set of Google Data dll’s (Google.GData.Apps.dll, Google.GData.Client.dll, Google.GData.Contacts.dll, Google.GData.Extensions.dll) into client installed Machine, you should collect that dll’s for your program.
Step 2: Design our aspx page (Default.aspx) by using with the following UI as simple scenario.
<html></html>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>UserName</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtgmailusername" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtpassword" runat="server"TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"onclick="Button1_Click" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="gvmails" runat="server"></asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>Step 3: Add those downloaded google dll’s as reference to your website in visual studio->Solution Explorer ->Right Click-> Click on Add Reference….->Browse ->Get dll’s from Installed Location->Press OK.
Step 4:
Add namespace these namespace to your code behind
C#
using Google.GData.Contacts;
using Google.GData.Client;
using Google.GData.Extensions;
using Google.Contacts;VB
Imports Google.GData.Contacts
Imports Google.GData.Client
Imports Google.GData.Extensions
Imports Google.Contacts
Imports System.DataAfter that write following code in code behind
C#
public static DataSet GetGmailContacts(string App_Name, string Uname, string UPassword)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataColumn C2 = new DataColumn();
C2.DataType = Type.GetType("System.String");
C2.ColumnName = "EmailID";
dt.Columns.Add(C2);
RequestSettings rs = new RequestSettings(App_Name, Uname, UPassword);
rs.AutoPaging = true;
ContactsRequest cr = new ContactsRequest(rs);
Feed < Contact > f = cr.GetContacts();
foreach(Contact t in f.Entries)
{
foreach(EMail email in t.Emails)
{
DataRow dr1 = dt.NewRow();
dr1["EmailID"] = email.Address.ToString();
dt.Rows.Add(dr1);
}
}
ds.Tables.Add(dt);
return ds;
}
Protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = GetGmailContacts("MyNetwork Web Application!", txtgmailusername.Text, txtpassword.Text);
gvmails.DataSource = ds;
gvmails.DataBind();
}VB
Public Shared Function GetGmailContacts(App_Name AsString, Uname As String, UPassword As String) As DataSet
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim C2 As New DataColumn()
C2.DataType = Type.[GetType]("System.String")
C2.ColumnName = "EmailID"
dt.Columns.Add(C2)
Dim rs As New RequestSettings(App_Name, Uname, UPassword)
rs.AutoPaging = True
Dim cr As New ContactsRequest(rs)
Dim f As Feed(Of Contact) = cr.GetContacts()
For Each t As Contact In f.Entries
For Each email As EMail In t.Emails
Dim dr1 As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
dr1("EmailID") = email.Address.ToString()
dt.Rows.Add(dr1)
Next
Next
ds.Tables.Add(dt)
Return ds
End Function
Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e AsSystem.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim ds As DataSet = GetGmailContacts("MyNetwork Web Application!", txtgmailusername.Text, txtpassword.Text)
gvmails.DataSource = ds
gvmails.DataBind()
End Sub
