Anyone able to provide a little more help on this.  Plan B is a LINQ or SQL query, but I would rather get the api working.

I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to look into this but unfortunately am up to my eyes in work at the moment.

Thanks for looking at the Cathal.  I'll hold off on doing more on this and do something else until you have had a look at it.

ok, finally had some time to look at this. Basically the a userprofile object hangs off the profile property of the userinfo object. The userprofile object has some helper properties allowing strongly typed access to common properties, but also supports using a method to retrieve less common/custom profile properties -as you're accessing a property that doesnt have a helper property you need to use the one of the following (where user is a userinfo instance

user.profile.GetProperty("Biography")
or else
user.profile.GetPropertyValue("Biography")

Thanks for more great help Cathal.   Every thing is working now.  Just changed the line in my code to:

userInfo.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = user.Profile.GetProperty("Biography").PropertyValue });
