Example
This example creates a user profile.
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace CreateUserProfile
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://<servername>"))
{
SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
ProfileSubtypeManager psm = ProfileSubtypeManager.Get(context);
// choose default user profile subtype as the subtype
string subtypeName = ProfileSubtypeManager.GetDefaultProfileName(ProfileType.User);
ProfileSubtype subType = psm.GetProfileSubtype(subtypeName);
UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(context);
// create a user profile and set properties
UserProfile profile = upm.CreateUserProfile("domain\\alias");
profile.DisplayName = "Display Name";
profile.ProfileSubtype = subType;
profile.Commit();
}
}
}
}
This example creates an organization profile
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace CreateOrganization
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://<servername>"))
{
SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
ProfileSubtypeManager psm = ProfileSubtypeManager.Get(context);
// choose default organization profile subtype as the subtype
string subtypeName = ProfileSubtypeManager.GetDefaultProfileName(ProfileType.Organization);
ProfileSubtype subType = psm.GetProfileSubtype(subtypeName);
OrganizationProfileManager opm = new OrganizationProfileManager(context);
// choose Root Organization as the parent
OrganizationProfile parentOrg = opm.RootOrganization;
// create an organization profile and set its display name
OrganizationProfile profile = opm.CreateOrganizationProfile(subType, parentOrg);
profile.DisplayName = "Test Org1";
// commit to save changes
profile.Commit();
}
}
}
