hello Finisterre

Hi there

hi

first, i would like you to try out the following

ok

replace this line: TextBox1.Text = oUser.LoginName

with this: TextBox1.Text = "Hello world"

:)

and tell me if it's working

ok. hang on.

sure, i am waiting

yes, that works.

ok, i think i got in the meanwhile

what do you think?

put this inside your DisplayInfo method: TextBox1.Text = oUser.LoginName

and maybe

change also clientContext.Load(oUser) with clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web,s=>s.CurrentUser);

ok, sorry. let me rephrase:

1. change clientContext.Load(oUser) with clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web,s=>s.CurrentUser)

2. put this inside your DisplayInfo method: TextBox1.Text = clientContext.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName

this should work

I have done other apps where I read and write from lists using the Client Object Model and I always leave the Display Info method empty.

Hang on. Updating...

the reason why I think you should put this in the DisplayInfo is:

1.this blogpost does it in a similar way

2.in your onQuerySucceed method you don't do anything, just call Me.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(updateUI), which eventually means you call DisplayInfo

at least I hope that's what it calls.

I usually reuse the same DisplayInfo method for several different procedures, which i why I don't put anything specific in it. But I will try.....

By the way, S is not declared int hat code above.

in that code above.

I think the OnSucceed and DisplayInfo stuff is OK. I usually do it that way. It's just the code to get the userid that is wrong I think.

maybe

the best then would be to start from scratch and do it exactly like the guy does in his blogpost

sharepointground.blogspot.be/2012/04/…

he is even putting it in a textbox. it should work perfectly for you

sorry, I forgot to paste the URL earlier

i have to now, but i will log in later from home. you can leave me a message and we can definitely continue tomorrow

*have to go now

see you

Thanks
