I am developing a console app that iterates through a list of usernames from our HR system and updates user properties for users that exist in WSS 3.0. I'm running into an issue where I am unable to check if the username is a valid SharePoint user first before entering the loop. When I do this: SPWeb.AllUsers("USERNAME") it throws an exception if the username is invalid. Is there a method in the SDK that checks if the user exists? I tried EnsureUser however I do want to create a user if it does exist.
I already had this issue. Actually, the only solution that I found is to nest you statement (SPWeb.AllUser) with a try ... catch. If the user doesn't exist, the catch is raised, otherwise, I can excecute some code...http://www.areaprog.com
