Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

This sample shows how ethical walls or communication boundaries between select contacts are created.

• In this sample application, you will see how the application framework provided by Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 allows managed applications to connect to and perform operations on SIP based communications using Microsoft Office Communicator.
  
  This sample makes use of the Server Agent object provided in the Microsoft.Rtc.Sip namespace to dispatch processing events to a custom application. The Ethical Walls application uses a Windows Service and an XML file called rules.xml to manage blocking rules that can be customized to prevent communication between contacts.
  
  This download includes a fully functional sample application with source code, Code Walkthrough, and supporting documentation. The sample application is provided in C# and Visual Basic .NET.
  
  Note:
  
  • There is no support for this sample code.
