<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>GetList</code> method retrieves a list of contacts,
contact groups, or contacts databases. Contacts and contact groups are retrieved
from the specified contacts database or, if no database is specified, from
the default one.</p>
<p>This method can be called both synchronously and asynchronously.</p>
<div class="note"><p><strong class="note_title">Note: </strong>Calls that retrieve a list of databases must always be synchronous.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<p>For synchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-5017A498-4BF1-48C1-B6AD-44DB3DC7436E">result = so.IDataSource.GetList(criteria);</pre>
<p>For asynchronous calls:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-22320C1F-DC1F-4D35-BDFE-25E12DA64321">result = so.IDataSource.GetList(criteria, callback);</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>
<p>This is an object that specifies what contact information is returned
and how the returned information is sorted. For more information about the
object properties and how to define them, see section <a href="GUID-06C803FE-DD16-44B5-B9C7-2EC9D497D425.html#GUID-06C803FE-DD16-44B5-B9C7-2EC9D497D425">Criteria for retrieving contact information</a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
that is executed when an asynchronous <code>GetList</code> call has
results or status information to return. You must define this method separately.
Follow 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
define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
<p>This argument is used only with an asynchronous <code>GetList</code> call.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>If synchronous, the <code>GetList</code> method returns an object
that contains the requested contact information, an error code, and an error
message.</p>

started (see the following table). The actual contact information is returned
