Hi,

As far as I've seen on MSDN, contactStore.FindContactsAsync() returns you a list of contacts [^].
In the foreach loop you can retrieve the phone numbers by using Item.phones[^] which returns a list of ContactPhones[^] and for the name you can use Item.Name[^] which returns a string.

Anyway, it's very important for you to look at this page to get further information: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows.applicationmodel.contacts.contact.aspx[^]

Your results are displayed like that in the listbox because there is a hidden call to the method ToString when an object is added to the Listbox if a good DataTemplate is missing, so you get the String representation of a ContactPhone object.

I hope this helps.

PS: always look up things on MSDN when you're stuck: it's a very handy site and it solved whatever error/doubt you can face about a class/property/methoda and so forth.

When i use Item.Phones , it prints "Windows.Foundation.Collection.NonNullVector" ., Is this because i use the emulator.?

That is because it is a vector. Access to an item of tne vector to see a phone number. Do Item.Phones[0].Number. It should work... You can also use a foreach loop and access all the phone numbers in the collection.
