uap3:ContactDataProvider

Declares an app extensibility point of type windows.contactDataProvider.

This element enables apps to become data providers for contacts. A data provider is an application that can fully replace the built-in synchronization engine for the contacts as the synchronization engine for an account. A data provider can not only synchronize the data associated with the account, but can also provide implementations for secondary APIs, such as those required to compose Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) messages or perform server searches on behalf of another application.
