People Picker in SharePoint

Hi All,

In a following example will demonstrate about how to use People Picker values in SharePoint.

Reading From People Picker Control:  

SPFieldUserValueCollection PeopleCollection =new SPFieldUserValueCollection();
 if (pplPickerID.ResolvedEntities.Count > 0)
{
      foreach (PickerEntity pkrTlEnty in pplPickerID.ResolvedEntities)
                        {                        
                            SPUser spUser = web.EnsureUser(pkrTlEnty.Key);
                            PeopleCollection.Add(new SPFieldUserValue(web, spUser.ID, spUser.LoginName));
                        }                      
  if (PeopleCollection != null)                    
   {
          sList["XXXX"] = PeopleCollection;
   }                   
}

Bind Values to People Picker Control:

SPFieldUserValueCollection oPeopleCollection = ProDetails["ColumnName"] as SPFieldUserValueCollection;

if (oProjectManagerColl != null)

{

   string managers = string.Empty;

  foreach (SPFieldUserValue pplItem in oPeopleCollection)

  {

     managers += Convert.ToString(pplItem.User.LoginName) + ",";

  }

 pplPickerID.CommaSeparatedAccounts = managers.Remove(managers.LastIndexOf(","), 1);

}

Reading People User Value from the List Item:

1.

SPFieldUser field = risksItem.Fields.GetField("ColumnName") as SPFieldUser;

if (field != null)

{

SPFieldUserValue spfldrUserValue = field.GetFieldValue(Convert.ToString(risksItem["ColumnName"])) as SPFieldUserValue;

     if (spfldrUserValue != null)

     {

         // place your code here

     }

}

2.

SPFieldUserValueCollection UserCollection = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)ofield.GetFieldValue(oTaskItem["Assigned To"].ToString());

foreach (SPFieldUserValue user in UserCollection)

{

    SPUser spAssignedUser = user.User;

}
