Contact name

The documentation of IM SDK is listed here: http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger/guide...emacontactslist
however, when i get the contact list, it just has the id and the group information for the contact. How do i retrieve the display name eg. "John Smith" for a contact?
I'd appreciate any help.
