1. var Context = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
2. using (var cContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
3. {
4. //Get the people manager instance for current context to get account name
5. PeopleManager peopleManager = new PeopleManager(cContext);
6. PersonProperties personProperties = peopleManager.GetMyProperties();
7. cContext.Load(personProperties, p => p.AccountName);
8. cContext.ExecuteQuery();
9. peopleManager.SetSingleValueProfileProperty(personProperties.AccountName, "AboutMe", "Test");
10. cContext.ExecuteQuery();
12. }
