| I can't seem to get the following code to run - which is directly from the
documentation. The code seem to fail when it tries to create the
ProfileContext - stating there is a null instance. My ulitimate goal here is
to retrieve a User Profile and get the Credit Card number and decrypt for use
in a integration process.
Please Advise.
ProfileContext profiles = CommerceContext.Current.ProfileSystem;
// To make the example work, create a new instance of a
// profile, so that we know its profileID.
string profileID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
CommerceProfile newProfile = profiles.CreateProfile(profileID,
"Address");
newProfile["GeneralInfo.address_name"].Value = "Home";
newProfile["GeneralInfo.address_line1"].Value = "street";
newProfile["GeneralInfo.region_code"].Value = "region";
newProfile["GeneralInfo.postal_code"].Value = "code";
newProfile["GeneralInfo.country_code"].Value = "country";
newProfile.Update();
// Retrieve the profile instance.
Profile myProfile = profiles.GetProfile(profileID, "Address");
// Get the value of a property of the profile instance.
string postalCode =
myProfile["GeneralInfo.postal_code"].Value.ToString();
// Set the value of a property of the profile instance.
myProfile["GeneralInfo.postal_code"].Value = "12345";
// Commit the changed postal code to the underlying data
// storage.
myProfile.Update();
// Delete the instance of the profile.
profiles.DeleteProfile(profileID, "Address");

| Xcel,
The segment of code:
CommerceContext.Current.ProfileSystem;
Cannot be accessed outside of an established http context, so you can't use
this code from a console application, it will only work in a correctly
configured asp.net application.
You should be able to create a ProfileContext/ProfileManagementContext using
an agent pattern to "hook into" the Commerce Server system. Nihit Kaul has
a blog entry from May that explains how to use this agent pattern to create
an order context, so I'm assuming you could do something similiar to get a
profile context.
