Right-click on the SocialWebParts project and add a new Visual Web Part project template. Name the new web part UserProfileData.

Open the file named UserProfileData.webpart, and change the title and description as shown in the code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<webParts>
  <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
    <metaData>
      <type name="SocialWebParts.UserProfileData.UserProfileData,
       $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
      <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</
       importErrorMessage>
    </metaData>
    <data>
      <properties>
        <property name="Title" type="string">User Profile Data Web Part</
         property>
        <property name="Description" type="string">
        This web part demonstrates consuming data from
        userprofile.asmx</property>
      </properties>
    </data>
  </webPart>
</webParts>

Open the elements.xml file and change the URL attribute by appending SocialWebParts_ to the beginning of the property. While the file is open, change the group name to Social Web Parts as shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" >
  <Module Name="UserProfileData" List="113" Url="_catalogs/wp">
       <File Path="UserProfileDataUserProfileData.webpart"
       Url="SocialWebParts_UserProfileData.webpart"
              Type="GhostableInLibrary" >
              <Property Name="Social web Parts" Value="Custom" />
        </File>
  </Module>
</Elements>

Drag a data grid from the toolbox to the design surface of the visual web part.

Open the UserProfileDataUserControl.asx.cs file, and add an OnPreRender method.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;


namespace SocialWebParts.UserProfileData
{
    public partial class UserProfileDataUserControl : UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }
        protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://BELIZE:333"))
            {
                SPServiceContext context =
                    SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
                UserProfileManager m_mngr = new UserProfileManager(context);

                //Get the properties
                PropertyCollection props = m_mngr.Properties;

                //Create a Dictionary to store property data.
                Dictionary<string, string>
UserProps = new Dictionary<string, string>();

                foreach (Property prop in props)

{
                    UserProps.Add(prop.Name, prop.DisplayName);
                }
                //Bind the Dictionary to a GridView control.
                GridView1.DataSource = UserProps;
                GridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = "Property Name";
                GridView1.Columns[1].HeaderText = "Display Name";
                GridView1.DataBind();

            }
        }
    }
}

Now it is time to add an instance of the web part to the debugging site you created earlier. Navigate to the home page, default.aspx, of the debugging site. Click on the Edit tab on the ribbon at the top of the page and then select the command from the edit Page button. Make sure that a Web Part zone is selected so that the contextual Page Tools ribbon tab is displayed. Click the Insert tab on the ribbon and click on the Web Part button. Add the User Profile Web Part instance to the page. The web part should look the one shown in Figure 5-5.

Figure 5.5. Figure 5-5

In addition to using the object model to create and modify user profiles, you can use the userprofile.asmx web service. Listing 5-2 shows how to retrieve memberships for a user.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using GetMembershipData.WSUserProf;

namespace GetMembershipData
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WSUserProf.UserProfileService myUserProfServ = new
WSUserProf.UserProfileService();
            myUserProfServ.Credentials =
System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

            GetMembershipData.WSUserProf.MembershipData[]
                memberships =
 myUserProfServ.GetUserMemberships("domainname\username");
            for (int i = 0; i < memberships.Length; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(memberships[i].DisplayName);
            }
            Console.Read();

        }
    }
}
