I would like to get the profile info of users.

What's wrong with this:

for j = 0 to 5

Dim UC As New UserController
Dim UP As New UserProfile
Dim UI As New UserInfo
Dim dUP As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserProfile
Dim dUI As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo

uc.getuser(myportalid, j)

temp = UP.FirstName + UI.UserID.ToString + dUP.City + dUI.UserID.ToString

next

temp will always stay "-1-1"

How do I get the profile data based on the userid?

Thanks

Try something like...

Dim temp As String = ""
Dim j As Integer
For j = 0 To 5
   Try
      temp += "UserID: " & Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).UserID.ToString() & "<br>"
      temp += "UserName: " & Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).Username.ToString() & "<br>"
      temp += "First Name: " & Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).FirstName.ToString() & "<br>"
      temp += "Last Name: " & Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).LastName.ToString() & "<br>"
      temp += "Location: " & Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).Profile.City & ", "
      temp += Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).Profile.Region & " "
      temp += Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True).Profile.PostalCode
      temp += "<br><br>"
   Catch ex As Exception
      temp += "UserID <b>" & j & "</b> does not exist in PortalID <b>" & PortalId & "</b><br><br>"
   End Try
Next
Label4.Text = temp

 

Note the Try/Catch block. If you are looping using a simple 0 to n index, you can not assume the indexed userid is in the portalid.  For example, 0 is not a valid userid. 1 is Host, 2 is Admin for PortalID 0, but 2 won't exist at all in PortalID 1. The better way to do this would be to pull an array of all the userids in the requested portal, then iterate through that array. Also, since you had your temp variable before the next loop, you are only setting the last value received. The -1-1 you got is from your ui.userid.tostring and dui.userid.tostring. You aren't passing j to userid anywhere, so it's picking up the anonymous user (-1).

I think this will be a bit cooler :)

Dim temp As StringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
Dim j As Integer
Dim dUI As New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo

For j = 0 To 5

   Try
      dUI = Users.UserController.GetUser(PortalId, j, True)

      temp.Append( "UserID: " & dUI.UserID.ToString() & "<br>")
      temp.Append( "UserName: " & dUI.Username.ToString() & "<br>")
      temp.Append( "First Name: " & dUIFirstName.ToString() & "<br>" )
      temp.Append( "Last Name: " & dUILastName.ToString() & "<br>");
      temp.Append( "Location: " & dUIProfile.City & ", ");
      temp.Append(  dUIProfile.Region & " ");
      temp.Append( dUIProfile.PostalCode);
      temp.Append( "<br><br>");

   Catch ex As Exception

      temp += "UserID <b>" & j & "</b> does not exist in PortalID <b>" & PortalId & "</b><br><br>"

   End Try
Next
Label4.Text = temp.ToString();

Thank you Professor!  That was exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks also for your explanation.  That really helped.

Using string builder is much better then concatenate strings.
