How to verify a PartnerID.

The technique shown here verifies the PartnerID by requesting the partner's Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program profile from Partner Center. The identifier is considered valid if the request succeeds.

Prerequisites

• Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials only.

• The partner PartnerID to verify. If you omit this value, the request retrieves the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program profile of the signed-in partner.

C#

To verify a partner's PartnerID, first retrieve an interface to partner profile collection operations from the IAggregatePartner.Profiles property. Then get an interface to Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program profile operations from the MpnProfile property. Finally, call the Get or GetAsync methods with the PartnerID to retrieve the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program profile. If you omit the PartnerID from the Get or GetAsync call, the request attempts to retrieve the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program profile of the signed-in partner.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// string partnerMpnId;

var partnerProfile = partnerOperations.Profiles.MpnProfile.Get(partnerMpnId);

Sample: Console test app. Project: Partner Center SDK Samples Class: VerifyPartnerMpnId.cs
