Previous to DotNetNuke 4.3 I could import users into DotNetNuke by creating a new UserInfo class and populating the values and then use the UserController to add the user.

I have been trying to do the same thing now with DotNetNuke 4.3. However, it never works for me. UserController.CreateUser returns a UserCreateStatus which is always "UnexpectedError {14}".

Does anyone know why this would be? I have compared the UserInfo object with one used in the registration and nothing is different between the two.

You might try comparing it to the import script here which only works on 4.3 and above:

Never mind on my previous comment I figured that out from the createstatus

However all my created users dont seem to have the default profile of any kind set and this messes with the admin users page - I keep getting a databond error -

If I take out my progmatic users and only use ones created through the register tag its alright but if I create a user in code its messed up - any clues ?  Heres my code to create a user

If Page.IsValid Then
                Dim myUserInfo As Users.UserInfo = New Users.UserInfo
                With myUserInfo
                    'Set membership ASP.NET MEBERSHIP STUFF so we can double check things
                    .Membership.Password = Me.tbPassword.Text
                    .Membership.Username = Me.tbUserName.Text
                    .Membership.Email = Me.tbEmailAddress.Text
                    'For DNNs users table
                    .PortalID = PortalId
                    .FirstName = Me.tbFirstName.Text
                    .LastName = Me.tbLastName.Text
                    .Email = Me.tbEmailAddress.Text
                    .Username = Me.tbUserName.Text
                    .DisplayName = Me.tbFirstName.Text.Trim & " " & Me.tbLastName.Text.Trim
                End With
                Dim CreateStatus As UserCreateStatus = Users.UserController.CreateUser(myUserInfo)
                'Here we check the user status of the user we created or tried to create
                'if there is a problem we pull up a message and keep the page up so they
                'can change it - possibility of marking the field wrong exists maybe
                Select Case CreateStatus
                    Case UserCreateStatus.Success ' no problems - continue
                        Me.pnlStart.Visible = False
                        Me.pnlCompany.Visible = True
                        Me.tbUserID.Text = myUserInfo.UserID
                    Case UserCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.InvalidEmail
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.InvalidPassword
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.InvalidUserName
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.UnexpectedError
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.UserAlreadyRegistered
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.UsernameAlreadyExists
                        'error code
                    Case UserCreateStatus.UserRejected
                        'error code
                    Case Else
                        'Error code
                End Select
            End If
