how to read userobjectprofile properties like telephone in the login page from the starter site
I tried something like this:
string sTelephone=(string)CommerceContext.Current.USerProfile.Properties["GeneralInfo.tel_number"];

But this is not working.

Using starter Site CS2007.
We are implementing this the login.aspx.cs page
please be specific regarding using references, etc.

I got the solution!

Since we have the email we can follow this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa545403.aspx
(How to Find the Profile of the Current User)

try
    {
        // Get the current CommerceContext.
        CommerceContext csContext = CommerceContext.Current;

        // Return a profile after looking it up by e-mail_address.
        Profile profile = csContext.ProfileSystem.GetProfile("GeneralInfo.email_address", emailAddress, "UserObject");
}

then we do:

string sTelephone=profile["GeneralInfo.tel_number"].Value.ToString();

Thanks a lot to Gael Duhamel for trying hard on this!!!

To use a custom propery in the GeneralInfo section:
String sTelephone = CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile["GeneralInfo.tel_number"].Value

May be the issue comes from somewhere else. Can you provide more details on the error, like error message, trace,...

HI,
I did this:
string sTelephone = CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile["GeneralInfo.tel_number"].Value.ToString();

But got this error:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Source="App_Web_kltuxtbt"
StackTrace:

Thanks!!!

Are you sure that the CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile is not null? Did you try with an existing property?

Thanks,

Apparently it is null.

We are using a custom userid to identify the user.

How can we call the CommerceContext.Current.UserProfile for this userid

Thanks

Try to update the web.config file. I'm quite sure that your HttpModule are blocked by IIS:

But still getting UserProfile as null.

How can we read this property directly from the database.

Or how can I read profile properties having user's email.

Thanks!!!
