UserInfo Control

Note:
Current information about Live Connect is now available in the Windows Live Developer Center. The information in the following sections is provided for legacy purposes only.

The UserInfo control shows a contact's display picture, name, and personal message. It is represented in markup by the <userinfo> tag.

If your application is using the Messenger.SignIn scope, you can use the Profile Control to acquire user information.

Example

The following example shows the markup to insert a default UserInfo control into a webpage.

<wl:userinfo></wl:userinfo>

The following table lists the attributes of the UserInfo control.

Name	Type	Required	Default Value	Description
initialized	String	No	None	Specifies the event handler function to be run after the control is initialized.
cid	String	No	$user	Sets the CID of the contact whose information is to be displayed in the control. Setting this property to "$user" causes the control to display the information of the currently authenticated user.
