Create/read vCard (Outlook contact)

[MuZZy]

Hi,

I just wonder if anybody knows about any freeware component which can
create or read/parse and existing Outlook vCard file. I found a
component but it's $600 for site license which is a bit too pricy for me
so i wonder if there is anything cheaper (or free ) out there.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Thank you,
MuZZy

Hi MuZZy,

The vCard format looks pretty straightforward, it just seems to be a
key and value seperated by a colon, with multiple values seperated by
semi-colons? Would probably be easy to parse using string functions
like String.Split:

Maybe it's not quite as simple as that...
