You can retrieve a Person list is with the GetPersonList method available through the PersonAgent. To use this service, we must know the IDs of the people we want before we can make the call. If we do not know the ID, we need to use a different service, for example, a method like GetPersonsFromContact.

using SuperOffice;
using SuperOffice.CRM.Services;

using(SoSession newSession = SoSession.Authenticate("sam", "sam"))
{
  //Instantiating the Contact Agent
  using(ContactAgent newConAgt = new ContactAgent())
  {
    //Retrieving a Contact Entity with the use of the Contact Agent
    ContactEntity newConEnt = newConAgt.GetContactWithPersons(143);

    //Retriving properties of a Person from the Contact Entity
    if (newConEnt.Persons.Length > 0)
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Full Name" + "\t" + "ContactName" + "\t" + "Email");
      foreach (Person newPerson in newConEnt.Persons)
      {
        Console.WriteLine(newPerson.Firstname + " " + newPerson.Lastname + "\t");
        Console.Write(newPerson.ContactName + "\t");
        Console.Write(newPerson.Email);
        Console.WriteLine();
      }
    }
  }
}

After we have created an instance of the ContactEntity calling the ContactAgent’s GetContactWithPersons method, we can iterate through the Person property of the instantiated entity and retrieve its properties.

Output:

Full Name         ContactName             Email
Admin Adminson    StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com
Arne Arnesen      StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com
Brede Bredesen    StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com
Cato Carlsson     StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com
Donald Duck       StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com
Erik Eide         StateZeroDatabase       example@example.com

Another option is to use the PersonAgent
