Adding a value to a user field

Adding a value to a user field

This is the same, but in reverse. We use the same class (SPFieldUserValue ) and give it the values we want for the user.

using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://portal"))

            {

                using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

                {

                    SPList list = web.Lists["Example For Users"];

                    SPListItem item = list.Items[0];

                    SPFieldUserValue userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(web, web.CurrentUser.ID, web.CurrentUser.LoginName);

                    item["User Name"] = userValue;

                    item.Update();

                }

            }

The image below shows the list after I updated the list item:
