Set values in Users Custom Fields

David Pearson asked on November 9, 2017 19:50

I am working with a custom Web Part that creates new account for user sign ups. I would like to store some additional data in Custom User Fields. Is the data save via the UserInfo class or do I need to use the UserInfoProvider? Looking for some quick code examples how to Set and Get.

Thanks David

Assuming you're adding the new fields to the User object, you will use the UserInfo class.

UserInfo ui = new UserInfo();
ui.SetValue("MyCustomField", "my value here");

UserInfoProvider.SetUserInfo(ui);

Another option is to use an alternative form for the registration webpart and not write any code.
