Hi

I am trying to create a friend relationship programatically after an event but I am having a hard time with the API as I am still a novice to programming.

I think this what I need to use and it seems simple enough but I get 'invalid arguments' error and dont know why

IntiateUserRelationship(UserInfo, UserInfo, Relationship)

or

InitiateUserRelationship(InitiatingUser, TargetUser, Relationship)

to which I try
var initiator = base.UserId;
var target = 100;
var relationship = 7 //RelationshipId for 'friends' in my portal 

InitiateUserRelationship(initiator, target, relationship); 

this gives me the above mentioned error. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help

Thanks. 

could you tell me why these work

UserInfo TargetUser = UserController.GetUserById(PortalId, 100 );
UserInfo TargetUser = UserController.GetUserById(PortalId, base.userId );

But this does not work

var friendId = Convert.ToInt32(hfFriendId); // data type is HiddenField
UserInfo TargetUser = UserController.GetUserById(PortalId, friendId );

in this case friendId is returning a Id but TargetUser remains null

Thanks, I have tried both approaches but it is still coming up null

UserInfo TargetUser = UserController.GetUserById(base.PortalId, (int)friendId);
