Remarks

The following example shows how to get information about the membership of a user, colleagues of a user, links, and user profile property data.

Make sure you add a Web reference to a UserProfileService Web service site you have access to. Change the using GetProfileDataSample.MyServer002; directive to point to the Web service site you are referencing. In addition, replace "domain\\username" with valid values.

Example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

// TODO 
// Change the using GetProfileDataSample.MyServer002 directive
// to point to the Web service you are referencing.
using GetProfileDataSample.MyServer002;

namespace GetProfileDataSample
{
    class Program
    { 
        //Instantiate the Web service. 
        public static UserProfileService userProfileService = new UserProfileService();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Set credentials for requests.
            //Use the current user log-on credentials.
            userProfileService.Credentials =
                System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
