OutlookContactProvider

"...As it's the holiday season, I decided to spend a few minutes granting those requests and creating a version of the calendar providers code that instead works with contacts. For anyone who's interested, I'd suggest reading the article about calendar providers first, as the contacts code is very similar. The source for the new project is then available here. Included in the source is an example provider that connects to a SQL Server and provides a contact list for the customers in the Northwind database...."

Outlook Contact Provider that hooks into WSS, but instead of sync'ing contacts with a Sharepoint Contact list, it hooks up to a different backend DB.

i.e. if you have a CRM (or CRM like) product you might be able to use this example to hook Outlook to it (one way/read only for now).
