Retrieves the friendly (display) name of the local client user, which can be called from a script not running inside a Web page.

Syntax

HRESULT MyFriendlyName(
   [out,
   retval] BSTR* pbstrName
);

Parameters

pbstrName

Return value. Pointer to a BSTR that contains the current user's friendly name.

Return Value

Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.

S_OK

Success.

RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER

pbstrName is a null pointer.

E_OUTOFMEMORY

The string comparison failed.

E_FAIL

The local user is disconnected.

Remarks

If the local client is offline when the IMessenger::MyFriendlyName property is called, the call returns the HRESULT or COMException MSGR_E_NOT_LOGGED_ON.

Even when online, this property does not recheck the user store for the current user's friendly name. The value returned is always the value sent through the protocol on the initial primary service sign-in.

Example

The code example illustrates the querying of the MyFriendlyName property of communicator, a IMessenger interface object.

Copy Code
string myFriendlyName = null;
try
{
	myFriendlyName = communicator.MyFriendlyName;
}
catch (COMException FNCE)
{
	Console.WriteLine(FNCE.ErrorCode.ToString());
}
