Hi,

I created  a customUpdate profile  module.In dnn i create a page and put my module in that page.But  if  logout   from my Custom Update Profile Page

 

i am getting the below exception.

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: username at System.Web.Util.SecUtility.CheckParameter(String& param, Boolean checkForNull, Boolean checkIfEmpty, Boolean checkForCommas, Int32 maxSize, String paramName) at System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(String username, Boolean userIsOnline) at Christoc.Modules.FFEUpdateProfile.View.LoadControls() at Christoc.Modules.FFEUpdateProfile.View.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I am using the below code to update Passwords.


UserInfo userinfo1 = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo();
          
            UserName = userinfo1.Username;

            DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo userInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(PortalId, UserName);
            DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.MembershipProvider membershipProvider = DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.MembershipProvider.Instance();
            bool pwdChanged = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.ChangePassword(userInfo, oldPassword, new1.Value);


Please give s solution for this issue

I guess the module uses information from the currently logged in user, and when you logout, it can't retrieve this data.

You can set the page/module permissions that only "Registered Users" can see the page/module. But a better way would be to do something like

try
{
// Get the information and assign the values to your form etc.
}
catch
{
// Hide the module container or write some kind of message
}

Best wishes

Nagasekhar,

look at the line:

DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(PortalId, UserName);

UserName is NULL, when there is no user logged in, therefore you get the exception - or maybe earlier, when you request UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().

Again: put the whole code in a try - catch construct, and display some message from the "catch" part.

Best wishes
Michael

Hi,

Better check whether user is logged in or not by using code HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated. Let the control to flow to the UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo(); part only when the value returned is true.
