Microsoft Presence Sample for Web Based Applications

The Microsoft Presence Sample for Web Based Applications illustrates how to display presence status and provide real-time collaboration options in web pages using the interfaces provided by Microsoft Office Communicator 2005.

The Microsoft Presence Sample for Web Based Applications demonstrates three different approaches for displaying presence status and providing real-time collaboration options on web pages:

- Using the NameCtrl Activex control that is installed by Office 2003 and used by Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to display presence and provide real-time collaboration options

- Using a custom ActiveX control, the Presence Controls, to provide a custom user experience

- Using simple scripting from the web page to access the Office Communicator 2005 automation interfaces to provide a basic level of functionality

Note:
- You should install either Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express to build the controls and the sample applications
- Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 should be installed on any client machines accessing deployed instances of these web application samples
- There is no support for this sample code.
