lync integration in a web application or a sharepoint application

My aim is to have personal status info(a string you wrote where "What is happening today?" box) on Microsoft's Lync in a web application.

I have used a code like this : 

LyncClient lyncClient = LyncClient.GetClient();
var usrStatus = lyncClient.Self.Contact.GetContactInformation(ContactInformationType.PersonalNote);

but it doesn't worked.error was "the host process is not running".How can I get informations from a lync profile ? Do you have any idea?

The problem is that the Lync client is running on the user's desktop in that workstation context. Your ASP.NET app is running in a separate workstation context under the IIS process and does not have access to the Lync client running in the user context.

There is a way to do this and it involves using a web service, I'll see if I can dig up that link.
