Use this method to create a ProfileObject object.
Definition
Function CreateProfile(sValue As Variant,bstrType As String) As Object
Parameters
sValue
[in] A Variant that contains the primary key value for the new ProfileObject object. The variable types permitted for this variant are String or Long.
bstrType
[in] A String that contains the schema type for the new ProfileObject object.
Return Values
If this method completes successfully, it returns the newly created ProfileObject object. The object is set to **Nothing****if a ProfileObject object of the specified primary key and schema type already exists in the Profiles store.
Error Values
The Errors property stores the collection of errors encountered in the last Profiles resource operation. For more information, see ProfileService.Errors.
Remarks
If the CreateProfile method fails on an aggregated profile (one that has multiple data sources), the DeleteProfile method must be called to clean up any entries in the data stores. In this case, the DeleteProfile method will produce an error that should be ignored.
The CreateProfile method verifies that a ProfileObject object with the specified attributes does not already exist in the database.
The Fields property of the returned ProfileObject object provides access to the profile properties.
Use the GetProfile or GetProfileByKey method to retrieve existing ProfileObject instances from the Profiles store.
Call the Initialize method before you use this ProfileService method.
