No, I'm using regular web references to query MOSS web services.

I take it you're not using WCF to query the profiles? For some reason, I'm not able to call the GetUserProfileBy<> web methods. It throws a strange formatter exception. But only in WCF. Works fine in .NET 2.0.

Hi Miguel,

I also started a "casual" breakout clone sometime ago and this is where it all ended up: http://www.nokola.com/shock - a full-blown playable game with lots of features.. :)

Thanks for the post! It's great to know people interested in Silverlight gaming!

About embedding: if you have access to the raw HTML for your blog (usually from the editor), just add the IFRAME from Silverlight streaming (like in here: blogs.msdn.com/.../building-the-reallistic-water-ripples-sample-in-silverlight.aspx)

Carmine, Thanks! Since this code was paid for by one of our customers I cannot publish it without approval, If I get it I may do so in the future.

Andy, I'm using MOSS UserProfile web service (http://<moss>/_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx), in a two step process, first I query the user store with a high privileges account in a scheduled process which generates an xml file. The second step is consuming the generated xml, which is published in a web application and consumed as a REST web service from the silverlight app.

This is the piece of code I'm using to query the MOSS User profile store:

public static List<Profile> GetUserProfiles()

{

List<Profile> profiles = new List<Profile>();

Dictionary<string, Profile> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, Profile>();

MOSSUserProfile.UserProfileService service = new UserProfileService();

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

int numProfiles = (int)service.GetUserProfileCount();

for (int i = 0; i < numProfiles; i++)

{

Profile p = new Profile();

PropertyData[] properties = service.GetUserProfileByIndex(i).UserProfile;

p.AccountName = GetPropertyStringValue("AccountName", properties);

if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(p.AccountName))

{

p.PictureUrl = GetPropertyStringValue("PictureURL", properties);

p.Name = GetPropertyStringValue("PreferredName", properties);

p.Mobile = GetPropertyStringValue("CellPhone", properties);

p.PhoneExtension= GetPropertyStringValue("WorkPhone", properties);

p.Email = GetPropertyStringValue("WorkEmail", properties);

profiles.Add(p);

dictionary.Add(p.AccountName, p);

}

profiles.Sort(new ProfileItemComparer());

return profiles;

}

What a great idea! Are you able to post your source on this project? Thanks!

I've been doing some tests with a Live Writer plugin to embed Silverlight apps right up from silverlight streaming. Not really good results either :(

Thanks Miguel (can i call you mike ;), yeah it´d be cool to embed it in a blog, I've done some simple embedding tests with blogger with no luck :( I´m working on a more playable, pimped up, version, no available in www.happyclone-online-games.com

Regarding the CodePlex project it may be a good idea for a more sophisticated game, this sort of casual game should be easily achieved with the new popfly tools to create games.

Bueniiiisimo. We have to publish the game in silverlight streaming and embed the game in the blog. It would be great to start working in a Silverlight Codeplex project for fun.
