Selecting a contact from the Address Book with MonoTouch

This screencast shows how to programmatically select a contact from the address book in a MonoTouch iPhone application, in only 5 minutes.

The key bit of code is to create an ABPeoplePickerNavigationController, and then take advantage of its SelectPerson event. The brief idea is shown in this code snippet:

var picker = new ABPeoplePickerNavigationController();

picker.SelectPerson +=
    delegate(object sender, ABPeoplePickerSelectPersonEventArgs e) {
        ABPerson selectedPerson = e.Person;
        // do something with 'selectedPerson'
};

Hope you found this screencast helpful.
