Hi,
We can use SocialCommentManager to retrieve comments by two ways using the URI parameter as key:
•.GetCount(Uri) = Retrieve all comments;
•.GetComments(Uri) = Retrieve all current user comments;
The following code for your reference:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.Server;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.SocialData;
using Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles;
namespace UserProfileCodes
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
Uri uri =new Uri("https://servername.com/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx");
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("https://servername.com/"))
SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
SocialCommentManager socialCommentManager = new SocialCommentManager(context);
SocialComment[] comments = socialCommentManager.GetComments(uri);
Console.WriteLine("Comments for the URL: "+uri.AbsoluteUri);
foreach (SocialComment comment in comments)
Console.WriteLine("####################################");
Console.WriteLine("Comment : "+ comment.Comment);
Console.WriteLine("Comment Title: " + comment.Title);
Console.WriteLine("Comment owner: " + comment.Owner.DisplayName);
Console.ReadLine();
