Import from what?

From my Asp.net application to Mailbox contacts.
I have the credential for that mailbox

What "Mailbox"?

Mailbox in the sense a exchange server mailbox.

For example I have number of emails in my DB and I want to push those emails in the email's (abc@xyz.com) contact list through my Asp.net page.

All you do is put email addresses into the To, CC and/or BCC fields when you create the message to send. How you do that depends on the email library/classes you're using.

Your client-side javascript code and your ASP.NET code on the server do NOT have access to your local Outlook contacts. If you're using an Exchange server, you can use EWS to get this information, but there's a bunch of stuff on the server side that has to be setup to allow that to happen. Don't ask me what because I don't know. I've just had it that stuff setup for me where I work.

I got the solution
here is my code

C#

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService();
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
service.AutodiscoverUrl(emailaddress);
Contact contact = new Contact(service);
contact.GivenName = "ABC";
contact.Surname = "XYZ";
contact.FileAsMapping = FileAsMapping.SurnameCommaGivenName;
contact.PhoneNumbers[PhoneNumberKey.HomePhone] = "";
contact.EmailAddresses[EmailAddressKey.EmailAddress1] = new EmailAddress("abc@yourdomain.com");
contact.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
