Thanks for this contribution! By making this a walkthrough, we're adding a lot of overhead that isn't specific to the "people connector" concept like app registration and auth, connector creation, etc. At the end of the day, this is basically the same as any other connector, with just a specific requirement on the schema, and an extra Graph call to register it as a profile source. How would you feel about shortening this article to discuss those specific bits only, and then link to your completed sample in GitHub?

I don't mind cutting out some of code for readability and link to a full example (that's less to maintain).

@jasonjoh - where would a good location for the sample(s) to be added?

I'd recommend getting repo created in GitHub, possibly in the microsoftgraph org. You should be able to request one in the open source portal.

I'm going to work on revising this as I suggested earlier and will ask for your review.

Thanks @jasonjoh for the feedback. I've updated the article, as per your request, to refer to a full sample code repo found at https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-people-connector-sample-dotnet.

Updated the sample code and referenced this article correctly. Awaiting the final privacy approvals before we can go live
