Hi All

I need to assign the current user to the people picker control in my custom ASPX page which I am planing to host in sharepoint (WSS) .

I was trying on these lines but without success.


System.Collections.ArrayList entityArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
PickerEntity entity = new PickerEntity();
userPicker = new PeopleEditor();
userPicker.MultiSelect = false;
entity.Key = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;

entity= userPicker.ValidateEntity(entity);


entityArrayList.Add(entity.Key);
userPicker.UpdateEntities(entityArrayList);

It is throwing type casting exception.did tried with all the rules of the book but nothing worked!

Please let me know if you have any idea to fix this issue .


Thanks in advance

What is the error and what line of code is causing the error?

userPicker = new PeopleEditor();
SPUser user = ipsWeb.CurrentUser;
PickerEntity entity = new PickerEntity();
entity.Key = user.LoginName;

System.Collections.ArrayList entityArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
entityArrayList.Add(entity);
userPicker.UpdateEntities(entityArrayList);


I could get the logged user in the entity and even UpdateEntities is working fine without throwing any error but still 'The control is blank for me'.Pls Help pls help

You did not tell me what the error was and what line of code the error points to.

Hi

The above line never get assigned to userid .I could not assign the my id to the ppl editor control.there is no error message as such

I am using this ppl editor control in a custom application page which is hosted in a WSS site .

Then I suggest you contact the author of that page for support.
