Sample name: InstantMessagingCall

Sample location: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft UCMA 3.0\SDK\Core\Sample Applications\QuickStarts\InstantMessagingCall

Description

The application initializes the platform, and logs in on behalf of a user. The sample then sends an instant message, with text of "Hello World", to another user who is logged in to a client such as Microsoft Lync 2010. The sample echoes instant messages sent by the user logged into Lync 2010. When the user logged into Lync 2010 responds with a message of text 'bye', or closes the instant messaging window, the sample shuts down the platform and exits.
