How can I use the client side people picker control in a provider hosted app for SharePoint? Specifically one that is using ASP.NET MVC 4?
There is an exampleon MSDN on how to use such a control with SharePoint-hosted apps, even though the article title includes the words "Apps for SharePoint", which I assume might mean that there is a way that it could be used in other types of apps for SharePoint. That is, provider-hosted apps.
I have referenced with script tags all the required JavaScript files, but presumably it is going to need to be given a client context, which I will have to have generated as some point with help from the TokenHelper.cs file.
Is there a way to pass this in as an option (it seems to take a dictionary of options for other aspects of the control, such as if multiple people can be selected, size of the control and so on)?
Any ideas? Or am I going to have to make something up myself?
Thanks,
Richard
