Unable to Adde Phone Numbers to a Contact through Connect (5 Comments)

Topic by Steve Flynn

I have a program that creates contact records based on an input. All fields populate successfully, however phone number doesn't seem to work.

I create and attach phone number to a contact as follows:

Phoneph =newPhone();

NamedIDnId =newNamedID();

List<Phone> phones =newList<Phone>();

nId.Name ="Home";

ph.PhoneType = nId;

ph.Number = phHomeNumber;

phones.Add(ph);

nId.Name ="Mobile";

ph.PhoneType = nId;

ph.Number = phMobileNumber

phones.Add(ph);

Phone[] phonesArr = phones.ToArray();

contact.Phones = phonesArr;

If I look into the contact object after this has run, it's Phones array has been successfully populated with Phone objects, each with a named ID. Yet when I create this contact, it has no phone numbers populated.

I thought maybe I'd got the object structure wrong somewhere, so I populated a contact object by querying a contact that I had a phone number. It returned a contact whose Phones array was null.

What's going on?
