Hey Erwin

Thanks for sharing your project.
Like Evelia said, it takes some time to load this webpart.

I get the following (using developer dashboard) about 70 times:
◦ExecuteOnChannel:GetUserData (18.61 ms)■CreateChannelAsProcess:Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.IProfileDBCacheService (0.33 ms)■CreateChannelWithIssuedToken (0.20 ms)■InitializeWcfOperation (0.02 ms)■ExecuteWcfOperation:http://Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles/GetUserData (16.15 ms)■CleanUpWcfOperation (0.01 ms)
It’s querying the dbo.Profile_EnumUsers and dbo.profile_GetUserProfileData the same amount of times.

Is this what slows it down? And what could we possibly do to speed up the load time?

Thanks

Hi Ervin,

Thank you very much for the SPOShowBirthdayWebPart. After installing the web part and putting it on the web part zone, it doesn’t show any birthday date & says There are no items to show in this view.

I saw this below response:
“Your users should enter their birthday into the “MySite/MyProfile/Details”. Webpart will pick up that User Profile to display the birtdays.
You could enter their birthday for them if you have access to the Central Administration, but that would be a lot of work.”

My question is: we have disabled the MYSITE link on our Sharepoint intranet, and so the users will not have be able to add their info on their own profiles. Can this webpart be linked directly with AD?? Or can we link the webpart to a list which already has this data??

Thank you so much

Hi all,

I installed the webpart, but now its showing an ‘object reference not set to an instance of an object’. What could be the problem?

From wich field does the webpart gets the birth day info from?

Thanks,
Joao

hi again ,

no it did not work
since we don’t have userProfiles in wss.
can this webPart use the user information list in wss?
do you have the time to modify this part for me?

it will be to kind of you
Thanks again

Hi Maya,

I don’t have a WSS 3.0 installation available to test the web part in, but I can tell you it uses UserProfiles, and I think that if WSS has userprofiles the web part should work. Let me know when you tried it out, if it doesn’t work I could try and fix that.

To answer your second question, I’m going to release a new version shortly where the username is a link to the profile of the user. Check my blog for more information.

Regards,
Erwin

Ismail,

I’ll try and fix this in the next release, but I was wondering what should be displayed in that case? Any ideas?

Evelia,

This Web part queries all your users for their birthday, do you have a lot of users in your SharePoint?

I am using this web part. It’s very usefull. However, I have a problem. It takes too much time to show the birthdays. Are there anything that I forgot to do it?.. Please, help me.

When any user enters February 29 as the birthday, the webpart displays the following “Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.”? Pls comment
