I am accessing the user profile property from code but it returns null value as well as false in the boolean type property.

My code is: 

if (web != null)
{

    SPList list = ListHelper.GetListByUrl(web.Lists,ListNames.DepartmentsUrl);


    if (list != null)
    {
        SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
        query.Query = string.Format(CamlQueries.Department.QueryForDepartmentUrl, properties.Web.Name);
        SPListItemCollection coll = list.GetItems(query);

        if (coll != null)
        {
            SPListItem item = coll[0];
            var taxonomyField = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(FieldNames.Department) as TaxonomyField;
            var fieldValue = item[taxonomyField.Id] as TaxonomyFieldValue;
            SPServiceContext contex = SPServiceContext.GetContext(properties.Web.Site);
            if (contex != null)
            {
                 UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(contex);
                 #region Change User Profile Properties
                 if (upm != null)
                 {

                        SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                                {
                            UserProfile u = upm.GetUserProfile(user[0]);

                            if ((bool)u[FieldNames.Manager].Value)
                            {
                             properties.ErrorMessage = "Manager is already assigned to other department";
                            properties.Status = SPEventReceiverStatus.CancelWithError;
                            properties.Cancel = true;




                            }
                            else
                            {
                                if (groupAdded.Name.EndsWith(UserGroups.Managers.Name))
                                     ....

Here in the condition :if ((bool)u[FieldNames.Manager].Value) I am getting false but in the user profile property from central admin it is true.

What should I do?

N.B. The property's privacy is set to Everyone.

Try this : u[PropertyConstants.Manager].Value; instead of u[FieldNames.Manager].Value .

Else How to get user profile property value when privacy for property set to "Private" (only me)

  • Thanks for reply sir, but the [FieldNames.Manager] returns the name of the custom property of user profile. So how would I get that custom property in property. Actually manager is boolean in my case

I guess you need to add "AllowUnsafeUpdates" in your code. Adding this might help.

 web.AllowUnsafeUpdates=true;
 web.Update();

Hope this helps. :)
