     7 <p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
       
     8 <p>The <code>Add</code> method adds a contact or contact group
       
     9 to a contacts database. If the contact or contact group already exists in
       
    10 the database, it is replaced with the new entry. You can thus use this method
       
    11 to both add and edit contacts and contact groups. The information is added
       
    12 to the specified database or, if no database is specified, to the default
       
    13 one. If the default database does not exist, it is created.</p>
       
    14 <p>This method can be called both synchronously and asynchronously.</p>
       
    15 <p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
       
    16 <p>For synchronous calls:</p>
       
    17 <pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-011A2BEC-80E5-42F3-A950-5AD015B01A1B">result = so.IDataSource.Add(criteria);</pre>
       
    18 
       
    19 <p>For asynchronous calls:</p>
       
    20 <pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-01DF7362-142F-43B6-9D97-80D7A0EEB0AC">result = so.IDataSource.Add(criteria, callback);</pre>
       
    21 
       
    22 <p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
       
    23 <ul>
       
    24 <li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>
       
    25 
       
    26 <p>This is an object that specifies what contact information to add or
       
    27 edit and for which database. For more information about the object properties
       
    28 and how to define them, see section <a href="GUID-94FAF08A-F3E3-4686-A35B-E98EEBF18824.html#GUID-94FAF08A-F3E3-4686-A35B-E98EEBF18824">Criteria for adding and editing contact information</a>.</p>
       
    29 
       
    30 </li>
       
    31 <li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>
       
    32 
       
    33 <p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
       
    34 that is executed when an asynchronous <code>Add</code> call has results
       
    35 or status information to return. You must define this method separately. Follow
       
    36 the instructions in section <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608">Defining the callback handler for an asynchronous method</a> to
       
    37 define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
       
    38 <p>This argument is used only with an asynchronous <code>Add</code> call.</p>
       
    39 
       
    40 </li>
       
    41 </ul>
       
    42 <p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
       
    43 <p>If synchronous, the <code>Add</code> method returns an object
       
    44 that contains an error code and an error message.</p>
       
    45 <p>If asynchronous, the method returns an object that contains a transaction
       
    46 ID for the <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608"><code>callback</code></a> instance,
       
    47 an error code, and an error message. When the asynchronous call has completed, <code>callback</code> returns
       
    48 an object that contains an error code and an error message (see <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-E43BC9EA-3EBE-4C7F-A57E-A1C33BB01CF4">Table: Callback return value</a>).</p>
