Is there a “URL-Structure” for Users and Groups I can access via Hyperlink?

Question

I have a Custom WebPart which gets credentials from the site into a GridView-Table. The result (user and credential) is shown as strings. I want to create a Hyperlink to the users e.g. mysite, instead using strings. Is this possible?

Answer 1

There are built in web-parts for this, but I always feel they aren't quite right.

So what you need to access is:

SPWeb > SPGroupCollection > ForEach SPGroup > ForEach SPGroup.Users > SPUser.OwnedGroups

Then display out your tree like:

Users > Groups

or

Groups > Users

The code for getting the properties is:

SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPSite);
UserProfileManager manager = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext);
UserProfile profile = manager.GetUserProfile(oUser.ToString());
ProfileValueCollectionBase FirstName = profile.GetProfileValueCollection("FirstName");
ProfileValueCollectionBase LastName = profile.GetProfileValueCollection("LastName");

if (profile["PictureURL"].Value != null)
{
    ProfileValueCollectionBase baseVal = profile.GetProfileValueCollection("PictureURL");
}
else
{
     //Default image
}

var userUrl = profile.PersonalUrl
