i want to import contacts from gmail, yahoo etc when you give the username and password like in sites like hi5 and myspace. how do i do this?? i use visual studio 2003.
In my opinion, you should do it in two steps. First one, use a web agent that would surf the site to the page that gives you the contacts list. I guess you can find such agents on open source communities. Then, when you have your contact list, just parse it.
The tedious part is the automatic surf agent, I think. It must be macro-able for each site in order to reach the desired contact page. Hope it will help you Be well

if the site is accessible through browser means you can access it through C#.
All you need that is a Microsoft fiddler and bit knowledge of HTTP protocol.Here i developed a small open source product named :
contacts reader .net , other names address book reader .net, contacts importer .net, address book grabber .net for SEO :)

http://www.zoomasp.net/Yahoo_Contact_Importer_csharp.aspx
it works fine, i just tested...
also another good example that can import Yahoo, Google, MSN etc, only some features do not work:
http://www.ideabubbling.com/TestDrive.aspx
To do your own implementation just use HttpWebReqest class and open the login url of the desired service providing the username and password.
(first open the service with your browser to investigate what is the URL and what parameters you need to send...)
