2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
3. In the Visual C# Projects list, click Console Application.
   
   By default, Class1.cs is created.

   1. On the Project menu, click Add Reference.
   2. Click the COM tab, locate Microsoft CDO for Exchange 2000 Library, and then click Select.
      
      Note In Visual Studio 2005, you do not have to click Select.
   3. In the Add References dialog box, click OK.
   4. If you are prompted to generate wrappers for the libraries that you selected, click Yes.
   Note CDOEX is supported only through a COM interop.
5. Repeat step 4 to add a reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library.
6. In the code window, replace the code with the following:

   using System;
   
   namespace Samples
   {
   	class Class1
   	{
   		static void Main(string[] args)
   		{
   			try 
   			{
   			CDO.Person oPerson = new CDO.Person();
   
                           // TODO: Replace with your Contacts folder URL
   			string sURL = "Http://<ExchServer>/Exchange/<UserAlias>/Contacts";
    			
   			ADODB.Connection oCn = new ADODB.Connection();
   			oCn.Provider = "exoledb.datasource";
   
   			oCn.Open(sURL, "", "", 0);  
   			if(oCn.State == 1)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("Connection Successful");
   			}
   			else
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("Connection Failed");
   				return;
   			}			
   			
   			oPerson.Title = "Engineer";
   			oPerson.FirstName = "First";
   			oPerson.LastName = "Last";
   			oPerson.Company = "CompanyName";
   			oPerson.Email = "someone@example.com";
   			
   			oPerson.DataSource.SaveToContainer(sURL, null, 
   				ADODB.ConnectModeEnum.adModeReadWrite, 
   				ADODB.RecordCreateOptionsEnum.adCreateNonCollection, 
   				ADODB.RecordOpenOptionsEnum.adOpenSource, 
   				"", "");
   
   			oCn.Close();
   
   			oPerson = null;
   			oCn = null;
   			}
   			catch (Exception e)
   			{
   				Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
   			}			
   		}
           }
