Hi
For my sins I have been asked to look at system that utilises a custom picker within a visual Web part form. Now I am debugging the SharePoint in vm which uses local accounts which is normally not a problem although not exactly F1 in terms of speed (!) .. The issue is I want to add a real user, know to the clients's AD who is say a "manager" in the People Picker field. Indeed I am able to load up my form and surface real data via BCS. However, when I try and paste a user who is a manager into my field. I get the above error, when I inspect the custom picker in VS2012; since this user is not known on my local account . I just wondered what the best approach to this allow my people picker to accept whatever I past into it ( in debug mode) to allow this user to be further validate on the clients backed system.
I hope that makes sense.
