I am basically writing a dual login so that I can easily integrate my company's application with DotNetNuke.  I have everything figured out and have done this before in the older versions but can't get it to work in 4.5.1  My code is as follows:

'Begin to build DNN if first time logging in

objNewUser.Profile.Unit = htDNNUserInfo(

"ALine2")
objNewUser.Profile.Street = htDNNUserInfo("ALine1")
objNewUser.Profile.City = htDNNUserInfo("City")
objNewUser.Profile.Region = htDNNUserInfo("State")
objNewUser.Profile.PostalCode = htDNNUserInfo("Zip")
objNewUser.Profile.Country = htDNNUserInfo("Country")
objNewUser.Profile.Telephone = htDNNUserInfo("Phone")
objNewUser.Membership.Email = htDNNUserInfo("Email")
objNewUser.Membership.Username = txtUsername.Text
objNewUser.Profile.Fax = htDNNUserInfo("Fax")
objNewUser.Profile.IM = "N/A"
objNewUser.Profile.Website = "N/A"
objNewUser.Profile.PreferredLocale = "en-US"
objNewUser.Profile.TimeZone = Convert.ToInt32(-300) 'Defaults to Eastern Time Zone

objNewUserStatus = UserController.CreateUser(objNewUser)

END OF CODE

This is a simple new user created progromattically.  The username i'm trying to register is "kcabrams".   UserController.CreateUser(objNewUser) returns InvalidUserName and my DNN user does not get added.  Please help.  I used to do this with AddUser with no problems what so ever.

WooT!! Figured it out:

Please note that in a rush to put my code up I forgot to a couple mandatory fields above.  ie: objNewUser.Profile.Firstname, lastname, etc

Apparently you need to set a couple of other values before the CreateUser function can be used.  They are as follows:

objNewUser.Profile.InitialiseProfile(PortalId)
objNewUser.Email = htDNNUserInfo("Email")
objNewUser.FirstName = htDNNUserInfo("FName")
objNewUser.LastName = htDNNUserInfo("LName")
objNewUser.Username = txtUsername.text
objNewUser.DisplayName = objNewUser.FirstName & " " & objNewUser.LastName

That is why I was getting a InvalidUsername error before because objNewUser.Username was blank! (eventho I was populating objNewUser.Membership.Username field which was fine with the old AddUser function)

 objNewUser.Profile.InitialiseProfile(PortalId) is used to set up a blank profile and should be used before you start setting your values.

Enjoy!
