Question
This is probably a longshot, but does anyone know of a way to resolve a name entered in a Silverlight textbox to a SharePoint User object in Silverlight, using the client object model?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to have an object I can write back to a SharePoint List.
Solution
You should be able to resolve the user using code similar to these examples. I don't have a 2010 environment running at the moment but here's a suggestion:
var clientContext = new ClientContext("http://MyServer/sites/MySiteCollection");
var collGroup = clientContext.Web.SiteGroups;
clientContext.Load(collGroup,
groups => groups.Include(
group => group.Users.Include(
user => user.Title,
user => user.LoginName).Where(
user => user.Title.Equals("John Smith"))));
