Hi all,

Can we retrieve Sharepoint Site user's properties (e.g, First, Middle, Last names) from active directory, from within Sharepoint's aspx page, in the run time.

Regards Sharad

What Eva says is right, you can get the user with SPWeb.AllUsers but you cannot get any of the roles associated to the group where the user belongs to via SPUser.Roles. I at least get an empty list and my AD Group is granted an specific role.

Thanks, Eva! This is exactly what my colleague told me today (no, really, today) – that all the users that have entered the site (once, twice, doesn’t matter), can be found in that collection. Which leads us to thinking that this is a wonderful workaround for a problem that doesn’t exist ;-)

Hello Kriss, Further to my comment above I've found that using spWeb.AllUsers (rather than spWeb.Users) I always see my user (even ones that were added to SharePoint only through a domain group) and your AD lookup code above (which by the way works superbly) is never entered. I thought it worth noting for the next person out there.

Thank you, Eva

Hello Kriss, Thank you very much, your information was precise, the articles are very clear and - just what I needed. :-)

Thank you, Eva

Thiru! This does not seem to be a case where you could easily use built-in Sharepoint capabilities. Looks like you have to use same custom code. I suggest you look for custom event handlers on the particular "Events list".

One thing, I think this line is wrong then:

If IsUserMember("SPS\primary", "SPS\sankar") Then

should be

If IsUserMember("SPS\sankar", "SPS\primary") Then

'cause user name is the first argument, group name - the second one.

Hi I tried. But its not working. I will explain what i did. I am accessing SPS site through SPS server. I created the AD group called “primary” in the SPS server and i mapped to SPS site. The domain is “SPS” and group name is “primary”. So my group is appearing as “SPS\primary”. The members in that group are SPS\sankar, SPS\thiru, etc.. I have used your code in the web part to check whether the user is available inside the group or not. Can you check the code in this link http://sankar83.8k.com/share.htm

Thanks
