I want to set the user profile property from code behind. The property is of type taxonomy(single value).

Following is a code which is I am executing:

SPList events = web.Lists["Calendar"];
//  Term term = null;
//  Term term1 = null;
SPListItem item = events.GetItemById(3);
if (item != null)
{
    TaxonomyFieldValueCollection valueColl = item["oiplbDepartment"] as TaxonomyFieldValueCollection;
    TaxonomyFieldValue value = valueColl[0];
    TaxonomyField field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("oiplbDepartment") as TaxonomyField;
    if (value != null)

    {
        TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(site);
        TermStore termStore = session.TermStores[0];
        TermSet termSet = termStore.GetTermSet(field.TermSetId);
        //term = termSet.GetTerm(new Guid(value.TermGuid));
        //term1 = termSet.GetTerm(new Guid(valueColl[1].TermGuid));
        SPUser user = web.EnsureUser(@"xyz");
        if (user != null)
        {
            SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);                                
            UserProfileManager upm = new UserProfileManager(serviceContext);
            UserProfile up = upm.GetUserProfile(@user.LoginName);
            up["oiplbNativeDepartment"].Clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < valueColl.Count; i++)
            {
                Guid guid = new Guid(valueColl[i].TermGuid);
                Term t = termSet.GetTerm(guid);
                up["oiplbNativeDepartment"].AddTaxonomyTerm(t);
            }
            up.Commit();

        }


    }
}

I debugged the program and the error which is mentioned above comes at line up["oiplbNativeDepartment"].AddTaxonomyTerm(t);

What am I missing?

Can it be the profile property is not editable? you need to manually make the property editable. Also does the current user has permission to update the profile propery?

Yes sir, the property is editable, because when I set the property a string value i.e.

up["oiplbNativeDepartment"].Value = "Department 1";

then it stores the value. The issue arise only when I use

up["oiplbNativeDepartment"].AddTaxonomyTerm()

method.

Did you get anything regarding this?

can you try like this:

userprofile["propertyname"].Add(" ");

userprofile["propertyname"].AddTaxonomyTerm(taxonomyterm);

userprofile.Commit();
