So here's my first example of using the Evolution Sharp Library.

using System;
using Evolution;

class MyDemoClass {

 public static void Main(string [] args){

  Evolution.Book myBook = new Evolution.Book();
  Evolution.BookQuery bq;
  bq = Evolution.BookQuery.AnyFieldContains("A Name");
  Evolution.Contact [] con;
  myBook.Open(false);
  con = myBook.GetContacts(bq);
  foreach(Evolution.Contact c in con)
   Console.WriteLine(c.FullName);
 }
}

This you can now replace the "A Name" with a name in your contact listing in Evolution and see their Full name on the console.

NOTE (2009-19-05): This wasn't the first post, but I left it here because I needed a place to scribble some notes down. I had just gotten a Blogger account back in late 2006 and was using Drivel at the time to post to blogger. I was just putting notes that I need to carry around with me on the blog not any really useful information except for me.

I don't know what project I was working on when I posted this note to my blog. In late 2008 I remembered my Blogger account and in 2009 I chose to use it more than my Livejournal account. Before I started using the account again I decided to clean it all up and remove a lot of the posts that were just notes and didn't really make any sense at all.

This post somehow survived the great purge and is one of the few post still left from those days. I am leaving it here just because it's a little piece of my history.
