Dim instance As _ExchangeDistributionList
Dim returnValue As ContactItem

returnValue = instance.GetContact()
[DispIdAttribute()]

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ContactItem
Nothing (a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) in C#) because the ExchangeDistributionList object does not correspond to a contact in a Contacts Address Book.

Remarks

The ExchangeDistributionList object is derived from the AddressEntry object. It inherits the GetContact method from the AddressEntry object, and in the case of ExchangeDistributionList, this method always returns Nothing.
