How can i find user by nickname ?

Posted by Community Admin on 19-Jun-2012 00:00

UserProfileManager.GetManager().GetUserProfiles().Where(p => p.NickName == "xxx").SingleOrDefault();

Is it possible to doing something like this ? and for other custom fields added to basic profile ?

Hello,

Yes this is possible. I have included a code snippet retrieving the nickname of the UserProfile.

//Get the user profile manager

var pManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

//Retrieve the nickname

var nickname = "myNickname";

//Get the nickname of the user profile

var profile = pManager.GetUserProfiles().OfType<SitefinityProfile>().Where(p => p.Nickname == nickname).FirstOrDefault();

I have included a link to the documentation which explains how to query some of the user profile information. You can use this as a guide to query information.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Greetings,

Thanks for your reply.
I can see the NickName is in the properties list, but other custom fields not.
it generates compile error.
How can it be done for those custom field that i added to basic profile

var profile = pManager.GetUserProfiles().OfType<SitefinityProfile>().Where(p => p.CustomField == "xxx").FirstOrDefault();

var manager = UserManager.GetManager();

var profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

//Get all users

var usersList = manager.GetUsers();

//Create an empty list to store the matching users

var usersMatchList = new List<User>();

foreach (User myUser in usersList)

//Load the user profile for each user

var userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile(myUser.Id, typeof(SitefinityProfile).FullName);

if (userProfile.GetValue<String>(customfield) != null)

if (userProfile.GetValue<String>(customfield).Contains(customvalue))

//If so, add the user to the list

usersMatchList.Add(myUser);

I got the answer. but it's not aplicable.
Searching value from custom field is not supported.
