Making conversations contextualContext from Outlook today
> Do this, and more, from YourApp…
Sample Fill
Sender Receiver
Making conversations contextualPassing a simple link
> A URL is programmatically passed with the application invite to the receiver
> Subject of conversation can be set> Link appears in the conversation
history and receiver is invited to click “at own risk”
> No code is registered on receiver side
Contextual Conversations
David OllasonLead Program ManagerOffice Communicator – Platform
demo
Making conversations contextualPassing richer data – Sender-side
> Sender-side programmatically sets:> AppName – an identifier that the receiver
uses to recognize the sender application.> Program Launch link in addition to a
simple URL. Sender enables receiver to click-to-launch a program locally.
> Include AppData in application invite. Constrained only by channel bandwidth
> Potentially instruct receiver to automatically open Conversation Window Extension
Making conversations contextualPassing richer data – Receiver-side
> Receiver-side registers a package that:> Matches AppName and establishes trust
with incoming invite> Can set contextual text in the invite
popup.> Inserts launch link / URL into conversation
history (no user warning necessary).> Receives and processes AppData> Can use Managed API to invoke
Conversation Window Extension> Can use API to dock conversation in WPF
app

The OC 14 Managed APIKey scenarios
> Build conversation-aware applications to run in the Conversation Window Extension
> Set context and build apps to receive and process context
> Build custom presentation UI and launch OC conversations
> Not for custom invites or conversation window while OC is visible, but…
> Fully suppress OC’s UI and build entirely custom UI against the API.
The OC 14 Managed APIKey scenarios
UIAutomation.StartConversation( UiaConversationModes.InstantMessaging , myParticipantList , myContextTypes , myContextObjects);
Write conversation-aware apps in the CWESuppress OC UI and
build custom standalone experiences
Use the API to launch OC from custom UI
Your Silverlight application can
run here and have API access to the
conversation
In Summary
