Working with User Profile Client Side



Approach

In addition to server side object model available in previous versions, Search and User Profiles in SharePoint 2013 provides the following set of API's.
  1. .NET Client Object Model
  2. REST Service
  3. JavaScript Client Object Model

Prerequisites

For search you need to have the following prerequisites based upon the approach you are using.
  1. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Search.dll - If you are making use of .NET client object model you need to add reference to this dll.
  2. SP.Search.js - If you are using JSOM, you need to ensure that this js file is loaded on the page.
  3. http://<siteUri>/_api/search/- If you are making a REST call then you need to use this access point.
For user profiles you need to have the following prerequisites based upon the approach you are using.
  1. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles.dll - If you are making use of .NET client object model you need to add reference to this dll.
  2. SP.UserProfiles.js - If you are using JSOM, you need to ensure that this js file is loaded on the page.
  3. http://<siteUri>/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager - If you are making a REST call then you need to use this access point.

Implementation

Let us jump into the actual implementation so that there is more clarity.

Fetch All Users

As we discussed above, using people search we can fetch all the users.

SharePoint Game Webpart

http://spgameoflifewebpart.codeplex.com/ Goal: The Game of Life web part was created for a talk I presented at SharePoint Saturday New York in 2009. At the time, SharePoint 2010 was still in Beta and most people hadn't see the Enterprise Metadata Management (taxonomy) features. I used the Game of Life web part as an introduction to the new taxonomy API. I offered to provide the code, so here it is. Requirements ----------------------- - SharePoint Server 2010 with Enterprise Features - Visual Studio 2010 (inc. SharePoint tools) Setup ----------------------- 1.

How to store the sharepoint List or List Item within the recycle bin of the site while deleting it programmatically ?

Whenever we delete a sharepoint list or list item from the User Interface it get stored within the recycle bin of the site. But when we delete it programmatically it get's deleted permanently. So what we can do to store the List or List Item within the recycle bin while deleting it programmatically ? Generally we use the list.Delete() or item.Delete() method to delete the list or item. Instead of using the Delete() method we can use the Recycle() method i.e list.Recycle() or item.Recycle(). This will store the item within the recycle bin.
