Hi Community,

I am trying to add a number of users & roles from a web service regularly polled by my custom scheduler. The problem is that I get an exception when trying to create the user.

Here is the code I'm using:

Dim uinfo As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(portalId, row.Field(Of String)("LoginEmail"))
                    If uinfo Is Nothing Then
                        ' user does not exist -> create new user
                        uinfo = New DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo()
                        With uinfo
                            .Username = row.Field(Of String)("LoginEmail")
                            .Email = row.Field(Of String)("LoginEmail")
                            .FirstName = row.Field(Of String)("FirstName")
                            .LastName = row.Field(Of String)("LastName")
                            .DisplayName = row.Field(Of String)("FirstName")
                            .IsSuperUser = False
                            .PortalID = portalId
                            With .Profile
                                .PreferredLocale = DotNetNuke.Services.Localization.LocaleController.Instance.GetCurrentLocale(portalId).Code
                                .PreferredTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.Local
                                .FirstName = row.Field(Of String)("FirstName")
                                .LastName = row.Field(Of String)("LastName")
                            End With
                            With .Membership
                                .Password = row.Field(Of String)("LoginPassword")
                                .Approved = row.Field(Of Boolean)("LoginActive")
                                .CreatedDate = DateTime.Now
                                .IsOnLine = False
                            End With
                        End With

                        Try
                            Dim createResult As DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserCreateStatus = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.CreateUser(uinfo)
                            If createResult <> DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserCreateStatus.Success Then
                                Throw New Exception("Creation failed. " & createResult.ToString())
                            End If
                        Catch ex As Exception
                            With uinfo
                                Throw New Exception(String.Format("username: {0}, ex: {1}", .Username, ex.ToString()))
                            End With
                        End Try
                    Else
                        ' user exists -> set status
                        uinfo.Membership.Approved = row.Field(Of Boolean)("LoginActive")
                        DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.UpdateUser(portalId, uinfo)
                    End If

 

Here is the exception:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.AspNetMembershipProvider.CreateUser(UserInfo& user) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.CreateUser(UserInfo& user) at AcumenOnline.Scheduler.LoginScheduler.InsertData() at AcumenOnline.Scheduler.LoginScheduler.InsertData() at AcumenOnline.Scheduler.LoginScheduler.ExecuteDataPolling() at AcumenOnline.Scheduler.LoginScheduler.DoWork()

Has anyone an idea where this could be coming from? The "uinfo" object can't be "Nothing" as I am checking on that before and create a new object just before I try and add this.

Thanks in advance,

Nils

DNN 7.2.2 isnt out yet, any idea on a release date.

In the bug link you posted above it says its resolved which I am guessing just means you have noted the issue and fixed in upcomming release. Does that mean the posters suggestion of changing PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings() to PortalSettings(portalid) worked so we could just manually patch in our 7.2.1 release?

Thank you very much this helped me solve the issue by just the two modifications to the core api.
