I have a non-Sharepoint web application that creates a page with several elements, all implemented as user controls. Most of these elements are populated using xml results from web service calls.
One element shows a list of users for a specific cost center. This list has 3 pertinent elements: Category, RoleName, and Username. The list is sorted by category and rolename, with category being a section heading that can be expanded/collapsed (the typical + or - icons) using jquery script.
All is well with the way it works.
Now we want to add a presence indicator by each name (I can easily add email address to the xml being returned) and when clicked have it open the contact card. I have done so rather easily on a sharepoint dvwp, but can't quite figure out how to do it with asp.net. I would prefer not to embed a silverlight control in the page as it becomes rather complex trying to get the jquery expand/collapse script to work.
Does anyone have any code samples (C# or VB) that would give me a head start on this?
