vCardLib is a library written entirely in C# for .NET. It is a library that enables contacts to be read from a VCF file. It can read multiple contacts from a single vCard file or single contacts from a single vcf file. The contacts are read into a vCardCollection object which is a collection of vCard objects. These vCard objects have properties that store contact information. As at now, the library supports only vCard version 2.1, support for versions 3.0 and 4.0 will be added shortly. Also, the photo extraction code is buggy and has been extracted from the production code, to see it, visit the GitHub link https://www.github.com/bolorundurowb/VCF-Reader

To make use of the library, add it to the project references and

using vCardLib;
...

var contacts = vCard.FromFile(@"vcf/ file /path");
foreach(var contact in contacts)
{
   \\ statements
}

The library can also be gotten from Nuget at https://www.nuget.org/packages/vCardLib.dll/
