how to get user profile in windows phone sdk

Question

i used userService.CreateUserWithProfile(userName, pwd, userName, profile, this) to create user and his profile. This method successfully return me with the user profile data. However, now i want my user to login again, and userService.Authenticate(userName,pass,this); does not return me with the profile data, and user,GetProfile() does not seem to help much either, returning null all the time.
Thanks

Hello Nipun,

Please find a below code snippet to get the profile of user and let us know if it helps:

 

String userName = "Nick";  

userService.GetUser(userName, new Callback());  

public class Callback : App42Callback  

{  

            public void OnSuccess(Object response)  

            {  

                        User user = (User) response;     

                        Console.WriteLine("userName is " + user.GetUserName());

                        Console.WriteLine("emailId is " + user.GetEmail()); 

                        Console.WriteLine("First Name :" +user.GetProfile().GetFirstName());

                        Console.WriteLine("Last Name : "+ user.GetProfile().GetLastName());

                        Console.WriteLine("D.O.B is : " + user.GetProfile().GetDateOfBirth());

                        Console.WriteLine("Sex is : " + user.GetProfile().GetSex());

                        Console.WriteLine("Mobile is : " + user.GetProfile().GetMobile());

            } 

            public void OnException(App42Exception exception)  

            {  

                        Console.WriteLine("Exception Message : " + exception);  

            }  

}

yes this is working fine. Thanks.
But can't i get the user profile when i am verifying user for authenticity using userService.Authenticate(userName,pass,this) ??

In this case i need to first use the above method to check for authenticity.. and then getuser to gain his profile info which accounts for one unnecessary server hit. The profile data should be available in the initial response only.

Hello Nipun,

Please find a below code snippet for finding the user profile in authenticate object and let me know if it helps:

String userName = "Nick";  
Dictionary<String, String> otherMetaHeaders = new Dictionary<String, String>();
otherMetaHeaders.Add("userProfile", "true");
userService.SetOtherMetaHeaders(otherMetaHeaders);
String pwd  = "*****";
userService.Authenticate(userName,pwd, new Callback());
public class Callback : App42Callback  
{  
    public void OnSuccess(Object response)  
    {  
        User user = (User) response;     
        Console.WriteLine("userName is : " + user.GetUserName());
        Console.WriteLine("sessionId is : " + user.GetSessionId());
    }
    public void OnException(App42Exception exception)  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine("Exception Message : " + exception);  
    }     
}
