I also had the same problem and did something similar ... but I retrieve all profiles stored it ina DataSet and cache it and then perform filters based on the different criteria ... jus wanted to share as well and I did use elevated permission also....

public void GetUserProfile()

       {

           #region Local variables

           SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Site;

           SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);

           #endregion

           SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()

           {

               using(SPSite ElevatedSiteCollection = new SPSite(site.ID))

               {

                   using(SPWeb ElevatedSite = ElevatedSiteCollection.OpenWeb(web.ID))

                   {

                       ServerContext context = ServerContext.GetContext(ElevatedSiteCollection);

                       UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);

                       BindDataView(new DataView(), false);

                       DataSet ds = CreateDataSet( profileManager );

                       ds = UpdateManagerInfo(ds, "Manager", "Account name", "Manager e-mail");

                       Context.Cache["dsEmployee"] = ds;

                       if(this._searchstring.Length > 0 && !this._searchstring.Equals("*"))

                           this._filterexp += " AND Name Like '%" + _searchstring.Replace("'", "''") + "%' ";

                       DataView dv = new DataView(ds.Tables["Employees"], _filterexp, _sortexp, DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);

                       BindDataView(dv, false);

                   }

               }

           });

       }

Hi!

I Would like to make a web part, that can droaw a map for every user, to show where he/she sit inside a building.

My problem was, that i couldn't  found, how can i identify the user, who has the user's profile page. I read the codes on this site, but I coud not know where i can use these codes.

I need a working web part on the my profiles page, which can identify the user, who has that profile site (so not the login user!), and maybe put his/her name in a list (for example), or read from a list the same name, where the name is a varriable in a list or something like that, becouse I have a lot of web part, whiches works, and deals with lists for that project. Any Idea how I can make this task?

Any help would be welcomed.

Thanx, yours:

Hi

Using your code I tried to do the following:

UserProfile profile = GetUserProfile();

label.Text = profile.ID.ToString();

I'm trying to display the profile id in the webpart Id

However, it throws the following error when i tried to open my sharepoint site:

An unexpected error has occurred.
