    <p>It seems like every effort talking to Sharepoint through its web services needs a domain\user name. For example:</p> <pre><code>UserProfileService.GetUserProfileByName(string accountName) </code></pre> <p>The accountName should be domain\user name.</p> <p>If I only got full name (FirstName LastName), is it possible to communicate with SharePoint? Is there any way to convert the full name into domain\user name? Is domain\user name the only way to do it?</p> <p>Thank you in advance. :)</p> <hr> <p>Thank you for the answers. :)</p> <p>The code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>using System.DirectoryServices; const string ADPATH = "LDAP://myLDAPserver,validUserforAD"; const string USERNAME = "myDomain\\myUserName"; const string PASSWORD = "myPassword"; const string DOMAIN = "myDomain\\"; public static DirectoryEntry GetDirectoryObject() { DirectoryEntry directoryObject = new DirectoryEntry(ADPATH, USERNAME, PASSWORD, AuthenticationTypes.Secure); return directoryObject; } public string GetUserNameByCompleteName(string completeName) { DirectoryEntry adObject = GetDirectoryObject(); //filter based on complete name DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(adObject); searcher.Filter = "displayname=" + completeName; SearchResult result = searcher.FindOne(); DirectoryEntry userInfo = result.GetDirectoryEntry(); //getting user name string userName = (string)userInfo.Properties["samaccountname"].Value ?? string.Empty; userInfo.Close(); adObject.Close(); return DOMAIN + userName; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
