HI Folks

I have created an user group in SP 2013 and i have added one custom column to it, from the list settings,
How to get the custom column value using Client side object model.
I need to fetch all the users of that group at once.
Peoplemanager will consume more time as it has to iterate over each user.
Is there any way ? Please share your answers.

Here you go with this code snippet

C#

public void GetSPUsersOfGroup(string webURL, int groupId)
{

 List<spuser> listSPUsers = new List<spuser>();

 Web currentWeb = ClientContext.Site.OpenWeb(webURL);

 UserCollection userCollection = currentWeb.SiteGroups.GetById(groupId).Users; //For   SharePoint 2010 it accepts only groupId.

//For SharePoint 2013 you can pass groupName and fetch data.

 ClientContext.Load(userCollection);
 ClientContext.ExecuteQuery();

 foreach (User user in userCollection)
 {
  SPUser spUser = new SPUser();
  spUser.DisplayName = user.Title;
  spUser.Id = user.Id;
  spUser.Email = user.Email;
  spUser.AccountName = user.LoginName;
  // spUser.CustomColName = user.CustomColumnName;
  listSPUsers.Add(spUser);
 }
}

Hi Kushal
// spUser.CustomColName = user.CustomColumnName;
user is not a dynamic object , so it wont work..

Solution 2

I got it

XML

CamlQuery camlquery = new CamlQuery();
 camlquery.ViewXml = "<View> <ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Your_Custom_Column/></ ViewFields></View>";

We need to add the custom fields name in the caml query and just execute this

C#

clientContext.Web.SiteUserInfoList.GetItems(camlquery);

Yeah probably CamlQuery is the best option !
