Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a webservice who register user. But that's not my problem.

My problem is when i use the CreateUser function in UserController class, it returns always invalidPassword.

I show you my code :

string password = "aSe45tG";  UserInfo ui = new UserInfo();  ui.Email = "test45@test.com";  ui.DisplayName = "machintruc";  ui.Username = "machin2";  UserMembership um = new UserMembership(ui);  um.Password = password;  um.PasswordConfirm = password;  UserCreateStatus CreateStatus = new UserCreateStatus();  CreateStatus = UserController.CreateUser(ref ui);  lblStatus.Text = CreateStatus.ToString();

When i'm using this function to test CreateUser, it always return me invalidPassword. By the way, i tried with interface register, with the same password, always good.

do you know what is the problem?

Thx in advance

Cédric

Thanks for your reply, William.

So I modified my code and now I have an error on the function CreateUser but user is created.

I post an screenshot showing my error :

Thanks for your help :)

I'm not sure I dare :) to reply to this thread because when I started to last Monday and opened VS 2012 to a DNN 6.2.3 source install to look at the UserModuleBase.cs class my development computer suffered a major crash which trashed its BIOS settings and consequently its boot sector on a RAID 1 array. Finally back up after 3 days of reinstalling everything.

Anyway . . . I think the null reference error is due to the ProfileProperties collection of the UserInfo object not being properly initialized with default data and in particular either the PreferredTimeZone or PreferredLocale properties before calling CreateUser. In the DNN framework source code's DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.UserModuleBase class you will find the following:

private UserInfo InitialiseUser()
        {
            var newUser = new UserInfo();
            if (IsHostMenu && !IsRegister)
            {
                newUser.IsSuperUser = true;
            }
            else
            {
                newUser.PortalID = PortalId;
            }

            //Initialise the ProfileProperties Collection
            string lc = new Localization().CurrentUICulture;

            newUser.Profile.InitialiseProfile(PortalId);
            newUser.Profile.PreferredTimeZone = PortalSettings.TimeZone;

            newUser.Profile.PreferredLocale = lc;

            //Set default countr
            string country = Null.NullString;
            country = LookupCountry();
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(country))
            {
                newUser.Profile.Country = country;
            }
            //Set AffiliateId
            int AffiliateId = Null.NullInteger;
            if (Request.Cookies["AffiliateId"] != null)
            {
                AffiliateId = int.Parse(Request.Cookies["AffiliateId"].Value);
            }
            newUser.AffiliateID = AffiliateId;
            return newUser;
        }

I would follow this pattern in your own code or have your module control's code inherit from DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.UserModuleBase or DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.UserUserControlBase rather than the typical PortalModuleBase. That way you will have a pre-initialized User object with which to work.
