Concerns deleting then re-enabling *Name properties in DNN4.

Using the 'manage profile properties' screen I deleted what I thought were redundant fields for FirstName, MiddleName, LastName.
This worked, until I realised new registrations were now not storing these fields.
(apparently the core is using ProfilePropertyDefinition for name fields, but not email?)

Trying to re-enable these name fields, I have set 'deleted' in the DB back to 0.
However now the user accounts module gives:

Error: User Accounts is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.TextColumnTemplate.GetValue(DataGridItem container) at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.TextColumnTemplate.Item_DataBinding(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnDataBinding(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind(Boolean raiseOnDataBinding) at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind() at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBindChildren() at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind(Boolean raiseOnDataBinding) at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind() at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBindChildren() at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind(Boolean raiseOnDataBinding) at System.Web.UI.Control.DataBind() at System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid.CreateItem(Int32 itemIndex, Int32 dataSourceIndex, ListItemType itemType, Boolean dataBind, Object dataItem, DataGridColumn[] columns, TableRowCollection rows, PagedDataSource pagedDataSource) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid.CreateControlHierarchy(Boolean useDataSource) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseDataList.OnDataBinding(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseDataList.DataBind() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.UserAccounts.BindData(String SearchText, String SearchField) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.UserAccounts.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

TIA,

Look in your user tables and fill in the null spaces with something. The error indicates the code is not accounting for nulls. This should be put into the gemini...

Thanks for the fix - I too had this problem. I too find it strange that you when you delete the FirstName and LastName from the "Manage Profile Properties" the firstname and lastname are not saved to the "users" table when the "Manage Profiles Properties" data are normally stored in the "UserProfile" table.

There are a lot of places in DNN source code where the existence of NULL is not checked.

:(

Seems like an oversight to me, usually reserved to "rookie" mistakes. I expect better from this team.
