Messenger Library Documentation and Samples Updated

  • Article

Hi,

We have updated the tutorial and sample for the Messenger Library at https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc298458.aspx.  We have also created a new page hosting all of our samples at: https://messenger.mslivelabs.com/samples/.

We have made a number of updates to the Hello World sample, primarily to use V2.5 API additions such as:

  1. Contact.DisplayName and Contact.Presence properties: the new properties simplifies access to the most standard contact properties
  2. Item accessors on all collection: With item accessors, JavaScript programmers can use standard for loops instead of using Script# collection iterators

We have also made a number of minor changes to improve the readabilty of the sample and tutorial.

The V2.5 API has improved reliability for sign-in in different browsers.  We encourage you to try it out and let us know how you are using Messenger in your web sites.

Cheers!
