Creating rules for audiences

Question

Hello everyone,

I am able to create audiences in Visual Studio, but I am stuck while creating rules for those audiences.

The problem is that we are using several custom fields in user profiles, and I am not able to choose those fields (I can perfectly create rules with standard fields by using "PropertyConstants", and there I get a long list with all the standard fields):



So my question is, how to get the custom fields?

Any help appreciated!

Regards,

Igor.

My colleague has helped me with that issue. The thing is that you need to reference term by GUID... Here is a code snippet:

class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://site"))

            {

                SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);

                var userProfileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);

                AudienceManager AudMgr = new AudienceManager(context);

                AudienceCollection ac = AudMgr.Audiences;

                bool ruleListNotEmpty = false;

                Audience a = null;

                string sAudName = "some name";

                string sDescription = "some description";

                TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(site);

                

         var termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service Internal Proxy"];

         var group = from g in termStore.Groups where g.Name == "User Profile Terms" select g;

         var termSet = group.FirstOrDefault().TermSets["name of a term set"];

         string termID = string.Empty;

                foreach (Term term in termSet.Terms)

                {

                    if (term.Name == "term name")

                    {

                        termID = term.Id.ToString();

                        break;

                    }

                }

                try

                {

                    a = AudMgr.Audiences["some name"];

                }

                catch (AudienceArgumentException ex)

                {

                    //your exception handling code here

                    try

                    {

                        a = ac.Create(sAudName, sDescription);

                    }

                    catch (AudienceDuplicateNameException e)

                    {

                        //Your exception handling code here

                    }

                    catch (AudienceException e1)

                    {

                        //Your exception handling code here

                    }

                }

                ArrayList aRules = a.AudienceRules;

                if (aRules == null)

                {

                    aRules = new ArrayList();

                }

                else

                {

                    ruleListNotEmpty = true;

                }

                try

                {

                    if (ruleListNotEmpty)

                    {

                        aRules.Add(new AudienceRuleComponent(null, "AND", null));

                    }

                    AudienceRuleComponent r1 = new AudienceRuleComponent("term name", "Contains", termID);

                    aRules.Add(r1);

                    Console.WriteLine("PlaceOfWork contains "+ termID);

                    AudienceRuleComponent r2 = new AudienceRuleComponent(null, "AND", null);

                    aRules.Add(r2);

                    Console.WriteLine("Rule2");

                    AudienceRuleComponent r3 = new AudienceRuleComponent("AccountName","Contains", "testuser");

                    aRules.Add(r3);

                    a.AudienceRules = aRules;

                    a.Commit();

                }

                catch (AudienceException e)

                {

                    Console.WriteLine("Error" + e.Message);

                }

            }

        }
