My friends:

I was trying to create authentication for my portal as the registration process has a business layer that i need to build however i get stuck at the "Declaration expected."
Please be patient with me as i am still a developer migrating from classic asp to .NET.

CODE: (I am using this from Michell Sellers site)

Using System.IO;
using DotNetNuke.Security.Permissions;
using DotNetNuke.UI.Skins;
using DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities;
using DotNetNuke.Application;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Profile;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Users;
using DotNetNuke.Entities.Host;

public partial class syncuser : System.Web.UI.Page
    

    //: System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UserInfo oUser = new UserInfo();
        oUser.PortalID = this.PortalId;
        oUser.IsSuperUser = false;
        oUser.FirstName = "FirstName";
        oUser.LastName = "LastName";
        oUser.Email = "test@test.com";
        oUser.Username = "MyUsername";
        oUser.DisplayName = "FirstName LastName";

 //Fill MINIMUM Profile Items (KEY PIECE)
        oUser.Profile.PreferredLocale = PortalSettings.DefaultLanguage;
        oUser.Profile.TimeZone = PortalSettings.TimeZoneOffset;
        oUser.Profile.FirstName = oUser.FirstName;
        oUser.Profile.LastName = oUser.LastName;


ERROR:

Line 16: 'Dim oUser As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = New UserInfo()
Line 17:
Line 18: oUser.PortalID = Me.PortalId
Line 19: oUser.IsSuperUser = False Line 20: oUser.FirstName = "FirstName"

I defaulted the portalid to -1 which is not the right thing to do but just wanted to work around it. There is an additional problem of

CS1061: 'DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalAliasInfo' does not contain a definition for 'PortalId' and no extension method 'PortalId' accepting a first argument of type 'DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalAliasInfo' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Because of .........

Line 47: int PID = -1; // Oportalsettings.PortalId();
Line 48:
Line 49: oUser.PortalID = Oportalsettings.PortalId; // PID; // oUserInfo.PortalID;
Line 50: oUser.IsSuperUser = false;
Line 51: oUser.FirstName = "Name1";
