Office Live Small Business Code Samples

The Contact Manager Web Service Examples code sample is interactive documentation for the Contact Manager Web Service methods. The download is a solution file (.olp) that can be added to any Office Live Small Business account with a locale of English(US) as a custom business application.

What the sample does

The business application added by this code sample, named WebBCM Examples, includes a Web page and a JavaScript file. When you open the Web page, you can click each of the 25 methods to view the SOAP request used to invoke the method. All parameter values in this code have been filled with sample data. You can edit the request or simply click a button to invoke it as written. The Web page then displays the response received from the SOAP request.

Note The code in this sample does not affect any existing data in your Office Live Small Business account. However, when you invoke several of the methods, such as the "Add" methods, sample data is added to your Office Live Small Business account. You may need to delete this data when you are finished using this sample.
