using MessengerAPI

[Asad Hussain]

I want to be able to get buddy lists from MSN Messenger. I wrote a little bit of code in C# that does that but I need to rewrite this in C++. I made a new new MFC dll project ( its supposed to be that way ) and added a reference to MessengerAPI. I cant seem to access the API in the same was as the C# code. I am completely new to C++ so any help will be appreciated.

public ArrayList GetBuddyList()
{
        MessengerAPI.Messenger msgr = new Messenger();
	IMessengerContacts contacts;

	ArrayList retlist = new ArrayList();
	int i, j;

	i = 1;
	j = 1;

	msgr.AutoSignin();

	groups = msgr.MyGroups;

	foreach (IMessengerGroup group in groups)
	{	
        contacts = group.Contacts;

		foreach (IMessengerContact contact in contacts)
		{
			if ( contact.Status == 2 )
			{
				ContactItem item = new ContactItem( contact.SigninName, 
					contact.FriendlyName );
				retlist.Add( item );
			}                    
		}
	}

	msgr.Signout();
}
