Using C# to get user information

Hi,

I had this problem before and I ended up editing the SDK code itself. 

Go to   box-windows-sdk-v2\Box.V2\Managers  folder and make changes to BoxUsersManager.cs file

public async Task GetCurrentUserInformationAsync(List fields = null)
{
BoxRequest request = new BoxRequest(_config.UserEndpointUri, "me")
.Param(ParamFields, fields);

IBoxResponse response = await ToResponseAsync(request).ConfigureAwait(false);

return response.ResponseObject;
}

and you can call this function as :

var bu = await SymBoxManager.Client.UsersManager.GetCurrentUserInformationAsync(new List() { "login", "space_used", "is_Platform_access_only" });

console.writeline(bu.is_platform_access_only)

Not exactly the way to do this but I didn't have any choice. You could probaly use inheritence and override the function yourself but i haven't tried it yet. let me know if you do that way.

Hope this helps.

thanks, 

Bibek

Hi Bibek,

Based on your suggestion, I did the function overloading on the method

BoxUsersManager.GetUserInformationAsync. See the method definition below. It works well.

Thanks!

public async Task<BoxUser> GetUserInformationAsync(string userId, List<string> fields = null)

{

BoxRequest request = new BoxRequest(_config.UserEndpointUri, userId)

.Param(ParamFields, fields);

IBoxResponse<BoxUser> response = await ToResponseAsync<BoxUser>(request).ConfigureAwait(false);

return response.ResponseObject;

}
