Windows.Phone.PersonalInformation.ContactInformation

-description

Represents a contact without an association to a contact store.

-remarks

This class is used to store information about a contact. It has a set of commonly used built-in properties like a family name and a description, and it also allows you to store custom properties as name/value pairs. The StoredContact class shares all of these properties but it requires you to open your app's custom contact store before you can obtain an instance of the class. Many applications will use StoredContact directly and never need to use ContactInformation. If you need to temporarily store contact information without opening your contact store or if you need to parse contact information from a vCard using ParseVcardAsync, you can use ContactInformation and then pass the object to the StoredContact constructor.
