wl:userinfo doesn't work for non-$user

Question

I created a simple page to show the current user's display name and other stuff with <wl:userinfo> control, whose cid attribute is set to current user's cid (but not "$user"). But this page doesn't work.

 

Environment: Firefox 3.6 with FireBug, or IE8 with script debugging enabled

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://wldemo3.65536.cn/MessengerConnect/20100723.htm
2. Click "Connect" ("连接") and sign in

Actual: my user info doesn't appear, and an exception is thrown "Microsoft.Live.Services is undefined " from http://secure.shared.live.com/_D/F$Live.SiteContent.MicrosoftAjax/3.0.31118/debug/MicrosoftAjaxCore.js line1515

Expected: my user info appear

 

I suspect <wl:userinfo> control doesn't correctly load the script defining Microsoft.Live.Services.ProfileCollection before usage.

Answer 1

This is a known bug. It'll be fixed in an upcoming release but unfortunately I don't know the release date.

Answer 2

Thanks for reporting this, as a workaround, you should use $user in CID property. I would update the thread once this bug is fixed.
