Hi,
please let me know on how to fetch current users contacts from gmail, hotmail, facebook and yahoo based on the users selction.
if user selects facebook, user has to loginto facebook and then on click of a button i should get all contacts from the user account.
same for gmail, hotmail and yahoo.
i am a novice in this, please give me detailed explanation or existing code.
I have seen socialauth.net, i didnot understand how to use that.
thanks

First two links has .NET component. I don't see it being different for MVC or any .net front end technology as this will be pure .net code and not related to UI. For UI you can use anything either WebForms or MVC.
