Create and Modify User Profiles in the User Profile Store of SharePoint

This example creates a user profile from the master connection configured on the server. It displays the message 'User profile created' after a successful execution.


//Creates a user profile. Obtains the property values from the default
//domain controller or the master connection that is configured on the
//server
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using System.Web;

namespace UserProfilesConsoleApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername"))
{
ServerContext context =
ServerContext.GetContext(site);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new
UserProfileManager(context);
string sAccount = "domainname\\username";

if (!profileManager.UserExists(sAccount))
{
UserProfile profile = profileManager.CreateUserProfile(sAccount);

if (null == profile)
throw new Exception("Failed to Create User with account :" + sAccount);

else
Console.WriteLine("User profile created.");
}
else
Console.WriteLine("User profile already exists.");

}
}
catch (UserNotFoundException exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception.ToString());
}

}
}
}


Now to overrides the preferred name of a user and also overwrites the cell phone number property. It displays the message 'User profile created' after a successful execution.

//Creates a user profile. Obtains the property values from the default
//domain controller or the master connection that is configured on the
//server.
//Also overwrites the Preferred Name and the Cell Phone property for the user.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using System.Web;

namespace UserProfilesApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://servername"))
{
ServerContext context = ServerContext.GetContext(site);

UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
UserProfile u = null;
string sAccount = "domainname\\username";
string sPrefered = "preferedname";

if (!profileManager.UserExists(sAccount))
{
u = profileManager.CreateUserProfile(sAccount, sPrefered);
u[PropertyConstants.CellPhone].Value = "nnnnnnnnnn";
u.Commit();


if (null == u)
throw new Exception("Failed to Create User with account :" +
sAccount);
else
Console.WriteLine("User profile created.");

}
else
Console.WriteLine("User profile already exists.");



}
}
catch (UserNotFoundException exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception.ToString());
}

}
}
}

ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected

Image
I have been writing an application that loads large amounts of data into the a database. The process of loading the data into the database goes through several steps requiring a considerable amount of time to complete. The long processing time is not a matter of concern from the application stand point. However, frequently the application throws a "ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected" message that says the following: Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x20450a0 to COM context 0x20452f0 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives ...

Visual Studio setup and deployment projects

This article describes the basics of Visual Studio setup and deployment projects. Subsequent articles will cover advanced topics, including more on custom actions, .NET installer classes, and how to build an upgrade for the product. Introduction Setup and deployment projects have always been a part of the Visual Studio.NET environment. Setup projects can be used to build various deployment packages, most notably Windows Installer setups packaged as MSI files. I’ll start with a basic setup that installs a C# Windows forms program and adds a shortcut to it. First, select  Setup Project , grouped under  Setup and Deployment  in the  Other Project Types  section. Choosing this will give you an empty project for adding your deployment units. With the project selected in Solution Explorer, the  View->Editor  choice gives you a selection that includes  File System  – this is where you add your files and shortcuts. Application Folder ...
