Represents a user profile for a person in the user profile database.

System.Object

The Commit method must be called whenever a property of this class is changed, or all changes will be lost.

The following code example shows the use of the UserProfile class.

C#
VB
Copy 
public void UserProfileSample() 
{ 
// Get SPSite and service context from string 
strUrl = "http://SampleName"; 
SPSite site = new SPSite(strUrl); 
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site); 
// Initialize user profile config manager object 
UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext); 
//Create user sample string sAccount = "mydomain\\myalias"; 
if (!upm.UserExists(sAccount)) upm.CreateUserProfile(sAccount);  
//To set prop values on user profile 
UserProfile u = upm.GetUserProfile(sAccount); 
string sPropName = "PreferredName"; 
u[sPropName] = sAccount; 
u.Commit();  
//remove user profile sample 
upm.RemoveUserProfile(sAccount); }  
public void CreatePersonalSiteSample() { 
// Get SPSite and service context from string 
strUrl = "http://SampleName"; 
SPSite site = new SPSite(strUrl); 
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site); 
// Initialize user profile config manager object 
UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext); 
string sAccount = "mydomain\\myalias"; 
UserProfile u = upm.GetUserProfile(sAccount); 
u.CreatePersonalSite(); 
SPSite mysite = u.PersonalSite; 
string myurl = u.PersonalUrl; }
