Create a vCard

var vcard = new VCard
{
    Version = VCardVersion.V4,
    FormattedName = "John Doe",
    FirstName = "John",
    LastName = "Doe",
    Classification = ClassificationType.Confidential,

Serialize a vCard and Save as a VCF File

string serialized = vcard.Serialize();
string path = Path.Combine("C:\", "JohnDoe.vcf");
File.WriteAllText(path, serialized);

Parse a VCF File

IEnumerable<VCard> vcards = FrApp42.Net.VCards.Deserializer.Deserialize(path);

or

string contents = File.ReadAllText(path, Encoding.UTF8);
IEnumerable<VCard> vcards = FrApp42.Net.VCards.Deserializer.GetVCards(contents);

foreach (var vcard in vcards)
{
    Console.WriteLine(vcard.FirstName + " \t " + vcard.MiddleName + " " + vcard.LastName);
    Console.WriteLine(vcard.FormattedName);
}
Console.ReadLine();
