EWS - Contact I'm creating shows "Untitled Contact" in Outlook Web App

Hello,

I'm creating a new contact,  it shows fine in exchange client.

But when I try to view it in Outlook Web App, it shows "Untitled Contact".

Is there any special extended property for OWA that I need to set in order for it to display the contact name correctly?

Thanks!

Hi Gln, thanks for your response.

This is what shows in exchange (clear spaces in the link):

i57. tinypic.com /5lb8mv.jpg

And this is what I see in OWA (clear spaces in the link):

i61. tinypic.com /2d2i24w.png

part of my code:

contact.FileAsMapping = this.fileAsMapping;
contact.Subject = display;
contact.DisplayName = display;

I'm wondering if I need to set those additional 4 properties since the OWA that is being used is not outlook365... Or perhaps I'm missing something else?

Would need to see your full code for the contact to tell

A few suggestions are you setting First and Last Name properties ? or just the DisplayName

If you modify the contact in Outlook (eg try changing the firstname) and the save the change does the change get reflected in OWA (make sure you take the client side caching OWA does into account).

Try looking at the contact using a MAPI editor like MFCMapi or OutlookSpy this will tell you what properties have (or are missing) values if you compare the contact against one that does work you should be able to spot which property you need.

Cheers
