Cast XMlNode to SPUser or SPUserCollection

altja — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:42:58 GMT

First, I got my code to work, but I would like to do it better.

I want to cast the results from GetUserCollectionFromGroup into a SPUserCollection or SPUser. Is there a way directly convert it.

GetUserCollectionFromGroup is a method in the SharePoint UserGroup WSDL.

My rough working Code

public static String GetUserCollectionFromGroup(String group, String site){

bool isMember = false;

UserGroup ug = new UserGroup();

SPUserCollection coll;

//SPUser user = new SPUser(

System.Xml.XmlAttributeCollection attColl;

ug.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

try

{

XmlNode node = ug.GetUserCollectionFromGroup(group);

//SPUserCollection coll = (SPUserCollection)node.FirstChild;

System.Collections.IEnumerator ienum = node.FirstChild.GetEnumerator();while (ienum.MoveNext())

{

XmlNode elemNode = (XmlNode)ienum.Current;

attColl = elemNode.Attributes;

String name = attColl[2].Value.ToString();String email = attColl[4].Value.ToString();

}

catch { }//catches groups that don't exist

return "";

}
