void
CreateNewAudience() { string
audienceName = "Test and temp";
//audience name string
audienceDesc = "Only the test and temp users.";
//audience description SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site); AudienceManager audManager = newAudienceManager(context); AudienceCollection audCollection = audManager.Audiences; Audience audience =
null; AudienceRuleComponent audRule =
null; audience = audCollection.Create(audienceName, audienceDesc); audience.AudienceRules =
new
ArrayList();//initialize the collection /* An AudienceRuleComponent exists of: * a left part: the property to look at * an operator: the operator to perform (=, <>, Contains, …) * a right part: the value to search for */ audRule =
new
AudienceRuleComponent("UserName","Contains",
"test"); audience.AudienceRules.Add(audRule); audRule =
new
AudienceRuleComponent(null,
"OR",null); //to use an operator (AND, OR, …) set the left and the right part to NULL ! audience.AudienceRules.Add(audRule); audRule =
new
AudienceRuleComponent("UserName","Contains",
"temp"); audience.AudienceRules.Add(audRule); audience.Commit();
//commit the changes } }
Doing this, a new audience named "Test and Temp" will be created, which in the end will contain all users with user names containing "test" or "temp".
2. Compiling the new audience
To compile the new audience, we have to run an AudienceJob, and give it 4 parameters in a string array:
publicvoidCompileAudience(stringaudienceName,boolfullCompile){SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site);&nd give it 4 parameters in a string array:
- The application id
- "1" = start job, "0" = stop job
- "1" = full compilation, "0" = incremental compilation (optional, default = 0)
- Audience name (optional, if null is supplied, all audiences are run!
publicvoidCompileAudience(stringaudienceName,boolbsp;// get the assembly which hosts the UserProfile classAssembly userProfilesAssembly =typeof(UserProfile).Assembly;// get the type of the UserProfileApplicationProxyType userProfileApplicationProxyType = userProfilesAssembly.GetType("Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.UserProfileApplicationProxy");// get the proxy objectobjectproxy = context.GetDefaultProxy(userProfileApplicationProxyType);// get the UserProfileApplication property which holds the actual applicationobjectprofile = proxy.GetType().GetProperty("UserProfileApplication", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(proxy,null);// get the Id of the applicationGuid applicationId = ((Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPPersistedObject)(profile)).Id;string[] args =newstring[4];args[0] = applicationId.ToString();args[1] ="1";args[2] = fullCompile ?"1":"0";args[3] = audienceName;intresult = Microsoft.Office.Server.Audience.AudienceJob.RunAudienceJob(args);AudienceJobReturnCode returnCode = (AudienceJobReturnCode)Enum.Parse(typeof(AudienceJobReturnCode), result.ToString());}}So in this case, it means we will perform a START of the operation, doing a FULL compilation.
3. Validating logged in user in a webpart
Okay, so now our audience has been compiled, we can go for the next step: of validating whether logged in user is part of the audience or not.
privateboolvalidateUser(stringdlName){boolresult =true;if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dlName)){Guid audienceID = Guid.Empty;string[] dlnames;SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site);AudienceManager amManager =newAudienceManager(context);AudienceCollection ac = amManager.Audiences;Audience ad;if(dlName.Contains("=")){string[] token = dlName.Split('=');dlnames = token[1].Split(',');ad = amManager.Audiences[dlnames[0]];}else{dlnames = dlName.Split(';');audienceID =newGuid(dlnames[0]);ad = amManager.Audiences[audienceID];}sp;dlnames = dlName.Split(';');audienceID =newGuid(dlnames[0]);ad = amManager.Audiences[audienceID];}&n;result = (ad.IsMember(SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName));}returnresult;}
