public class MyUserInfo : DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo
 {

    // My Custom Properties

    public MyUserInfo() : base() { }

}

public class MyUserController : DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController
{

        [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Select, true)]
        public new MyUserInfo GetUser(int portalId, int userId)
        {
            DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo user = base.GetUser(portalId, userId);  // this line returns the error
            //IDataReader dr = DataProvider.Instance().GetUser( userId);
            return (MyUserInfo)user;
        }

}

On My page I am binding a FormView via an ObjectDataSource to the GetUser method above. I get this error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Can some help in reviewing my code, I am trying to extend the UserInfo to add additional properties to my UserInfo. Eventually I want to be able to save the UserInfo and MyUserInfo objects.

Thanks

Prashant,

Thanks for the suggestion. I am getting the following error now:

"Unable to cast object of type 'DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo' to type 'Company.Modules.ModuleName.MyUserInfo'."

Does any one know what could be going wrong here?

    public class MyUserInfo : DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo
    {
        private int _userType;

        public int UserType
        {
            get { return _userType; }
            set { _userType = value; }
        }

        public MyUserInfo() : base()
        {
            //
            // TODO: Add constructor logic here
            //
        }
    }

Hi Prashant,

Can you recommend, with sample code if possible, on how to extend the UserInfo object to add more properties to it.

I want to save the additional properties to MyUserInfo object in a separate Table with a reference to UserId.

Thanks
