Contacts Control only returns me name and e-mail

Hi all,

Just started playing around with the contacts control gadget - very cool.

I am seeing one issue - I cannot get anything other than "name and e-mail" fields to be retrieved. I have changed the datadesired field to indicate the fields I need returned, but the only ones I can get back are name and e-mail. This is what I have right now -

<devlive:contactscontrol

style="width:250px;height:500px;float:right;borderTongue Tiedolid 1px black;"

devlive:privacyStatementURL="http://mydomain.org/privacyPolicy.html"

devlive:channelEndpointURL="channel.htm"

devlive:dataDesired="name, email, firstname, middlename, lastname"

devlive:market="en"

devlive:onSignin="onSignin"

devlive:onSignout="onSignout"

devlive:onError="onError"

devlive:onData="onData">

</devlive:contactscontrol>

I believe I see the same issues when I look at the samples on dev.live.com as well. E.g.http://dev.live.com/mashups/contactmap/. Even though the control is requesting multipel fields to be returned, when the "send confirmation" window opens only the name and e-mail are shown.

What am I missing?

Best,

Vishal

Ah - I didn't realize that none of my contacts I was sending had a "firstname", "middlename" or "lastname" set. I was expecting that even if the values were not set - I would get those fields back with null values. But apparently the control doesn't send back those fields in the collection at all.
