I'm relatively new to module development and in the module I'm working on I would like to be able to retrieve the email value entered by the user when they registered on the site.  I'm using DNN 5.5 as my development environment. In my code behind I am able to use the following code to pull the first and last name and the address fields.

txtNewFname.Text = UserInfo.Profile.GetPropertyValue("FirstName")
txtNewLName.Text = UserInfo.Profile.GetPropertyValue("LastName")
txtNewAddress1.Text = UserInfo.Profile.GetPropertyValue("Street")
txtNewCity.Text = UserInfo.Profile.GetPropertyValue("City")

But when I try the same method for the email address I get no results.

txtNewEmail.Text = UserInfo.Profile.GetPropertyValue("Email")

When I looked into the database I noticed that the email address is not saved the same way that the other information is but rather is saved in the Users table.  Is there a simple way to retrieve the email address from the profile or do I need to read it directly from the Users table instead?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

That seems to do the trick.  I replaced the code I  had with:
        txtNewEmail.Text = UserInfo.Email

I tried doing the equivalent of your first statement in VB.Net but an error message telling me that the statement had been deprecated in 5.1.  Looks like you can get at the value without the extra statement.

Thanks for the help.  You have saved me a lot of time and grief.

please note, that username, displayname and email are user properties, while all other data is part of the user profile object, hence the difference. Profile properties are managed by the admin of each website and may even be deleted (though this is usually not a good idea).
