Creating a SpFieldUser Field in Sharepoint

 

I was trying to use the list.Fields.Add method to add a SpFieldUser field but i didn't found information on how to do it.

But the below boxed info helped me to create it in another way.

 

How to add a User Information lookup field with code One of our developers asked me a question about adding a lookup field to the "User information" list with code. The "Add" method of SPFieldCollection wants a Guid for the destination list, but the "User information" list is not a SharePoint list. The solution is to use the "AddFieldAsXML" and submit a field XML instead. SPWeb web = GetContextWeb(Current) 'Or whatever method used to acquire this object SPList list = web.Lists[<listname>]; list.Fields.AddFieldAsXml("<Field Type="User" List="UserInfo" ShowField="Title" DisplayName="<FIELDNAME>" Name="<FIELDNAME>" />");
