Windows phone: Accessing contacts

While trying to access the contacts in Windows phone as detailed in this official doc here, I receive the following error:

Error   1   The type or namespace name 'UserData' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Phone' (are you missing an assembly reference?)    C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Visual Studio 
2010\Projects\WindowsPhoneDataBoundApplication1\WindowsPhoneDataBoundApplication1\NewSched.xaml.cs  13  23  WindowsPhoneDataBoundApplication1

Specifically the problem is solved when i remove this statement:

using Microsoft.Phone.UserData;

I need that library so that I can access the phone's contacts. How can this be resolved?

The problem was caused by running the Windows 7.0 SDK. Not the one for 7.1. Installing the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK resolved the issue.

You probably need to add a reference to the assembly, like the error message suggests. This page is not an exact guide, but should get you there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838164%28v=vs.95%29.aspx#adding_a_silverlight_library_assembly
