RelationShip between contacts

[yogendra.rajpoot]

I tried to create relationship between contacts through c# using oledb connection. but i unable to do that because oledb connection is readonly in act (is that true). i want to help how to create relationship between contacts through c# code. is there any class in SDK or any other way to do that.

The short answer is, relationships are called associations in the SDK, to create an association you need to acquire the appropriate AssociationManager.

More detail information on this can be found in the SDK documentation, simply do a search for association and it will walk you through the process of creating an association.

Have you looked at using the Relationships Tab as per this ACT! Knowledge Base article -

Or does it not do what you need?

Thx for reply. I know about that how to create relationship from ACT GUI panel but i want to make relationship between contacts through c# coding. I know there is a table contact_contact in that kept information about relationship. My question is how i insert a new row or add relationship entry in that table through code not GUI. Is there is any ACT API that i use for that. or any other way to do that.
