I found the solution ....

User user = clientContext.Web.EnsureUser("Preferred Name");

clientContext.Load(user);

clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

Now user.LoginName will give the username of the user and then we can make use of the UserProfileService web service to get the user profile properties.

userprofileservice.UserProfileService svc = new userprofileservice.UserProfileService();

userprofileservice.PropertyData[] properties = svc.GetUserProfileByName(userNoeId);
