ContactField "Company" vs. Company group/object

[Odoshi]

Hi,

I would like to get the Company field for a contact via .NET. Is this a ContactField vs. the actual company object? I am interested in the field value.

Thanks,

Yes, there is a company field on the contact table, in fact the Company is a public property for the Contact, however to get the value you'll need to retrieve the FieldDescriptor. The psuedo code would look something like:

ContactFieldDescriptor compField = ActApp.ActFramework.Contacts.GetContactFieldDescriptor("TBL_CONTACT.COMPANY");

string theValue = compField.GetValue(myContact);

Perfect! Thanks so much.
