Lync in RadGrid and other dev controls?

[David]

I see that TeamPulse offers Microsoft Lync integration, showing user prescence information about a person, which lets the user click on the little green or red circle next to their name to do "Lync communication" type of actions via the little Lync popup window.

Can I build in Microsoft Lync integration into my custom apps that I build with the Telerik developer tools? Such as I have a RadGrid that lists rows of employees. I'd like the little green/red icons to appear next to their names, just like they do in Microsoft Outlook so a user of my RadGrid could click the green circle in my RadGrid to open Lync-stuff.

Is that available? Or just not yet?  Thanks.

Hello David,

We do not have built-in integration with Lync, because this is out of scope of RadGrid control.
I would recommend that you examine the following links if you are interested in implementing this functionality in your application:
Lync Presence & Chat Widget
HTML Presence Controls for Microsoft Lync Server 2010
Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 3.0 Software Development Kit

Kind regards,
Daniel
