Examples

The following example shows how to get information about the membership of a user, colleagues of a user, links, and user profile property data. Make sure you add a Web reference to a UserProfileService Web service site to which you have access. Change the using GetProfileDataSample.MyServer002; directive to point to the Web service site you are referencing. In addition, replace "domain\\username" with valid values.

// to point to the Web service you are referencing.
