no, that does nothing.. I am guessing it needs to be explicity updated..

Something like this:

UserController.UpdateUser(portalID,m UserInfo User)

But I can't find an example..

DNN API documentation is non existent. Its pathetic.. I think I am going to have to look for an alternative to DNN.
This really isn't much fun...

I looked in the DNN 7.1.1 source and found a new method: ChangeUsername on UserController.

I ended up with this code that works. But if you try to call ChangeUsername before UpdateUser it will blow.
I send the user an email and log them out immediately after this code and redirect them to a success page.
They get a new authorisation email and have to re-verify their account.
It all seems to work but I have no idea how sensible (stable/reliable) this approach is.

// change the username and email and unauthorise the user
UserInfo userInfo = UserController.GetUserById(PortalId,UserId);
userInfo.Email = txtNewEmail.Text;
userInfo.Membership.Approved = false;
UserController.UpdateUser(PortalId, userInfo);
UserController.ChangeUsername(UserId, txtNewEmail.Text);

If the DNN API had proper documentation I might not have found myself in this mess. It really is frustrating to have to work on this.
Considering how long DNN has been going we're still fumbling in the dark..

BTW. The feature to update a username was added in DNN 7.1.0:

You may also add your findings to the Wiki. This will make it easier for others to solve the same problem. Thank you.
