Address Magic .Net SDK

Product Description

The Address Magic SDK (Software Developers Kit) gives your application the ability to read over two dozen different address book formats with just a few lines of code. The SDK gives your application the benefit of ten years of development that Connected Software has put into creating the Address Magic engine. This SDK has no royalties or reporting requirements.

The SDK is easy to integrate with your product. You just need to add a single DLL to your installer and add a single assembly to your .Net project.

The SDK has very high performance. Text-based files such as Thunderbird and Eudora can be read at the rate of thousands of contacts per second. Even formats such as Microsoft Outlook can be read at the rate of hundreds of contacts per second.

Concentrate on your core business and let Connected Software worry about keeping up with the latest changes in address books and email applications. Since this SDK shares the Address Magic engine with our enterprise and consumer products, the product is continually tested by thousands of Address Magic customers.

Common Questions

Can the SDK read distribution lists/groups?

Yes, including "one-off" members.

Does the SDK support folders?

Yes, folders are supported for most formats, including Outlook, Outlook Express, and Thunderbird.

Can the SDK write address books?

No, not at this time.

Will the SDK run under Linux or the Mac under Mono?

No. The SDK is tightly coupled to Windows and cannot be run under Mono.

Is the SDK pure managed code?

No, the SDK is a "mixed" assembly. Several of the address book formats require native C++, so the core of the SDK is native code.

Is technical support available if I have a question?

Yes. There is a knowledgebase of common problems or you can pay for a support incident. One support incident is included with your purchase.
