Hi all,

I'm using DNN 5.1; at compile time I get the following warns:

'DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserMembership.Username' is obsolete: 'Deprecated in DNN 5.1' - but nothisn more said; if it's deprecated, which one should I use?

'DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUser(int, int, bool)' is obsolete: 'Deprecated in DNN 5.1. Not needed any longer for due to autohydration' it is used as:
DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo objUserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUser(0, userid, false);
should I replace with:
DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo objUserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserById(0, userid);
?

Thanks in advance,
Lucian

Sure it still works, but the developer shouldn't have to examine the source code.  When applicable, an Obsolete attribute's description must indicate the property that has replaced the obsolete property.

If it is so simple as to look into the code, then why are there in 7.07 still calls that are deprecated since 5.0. Anno 2013 I'm still waiting for that 'future with better results'.

I'm currently looking for the replacement of a deprecated call (UserMembership() ), but all I can find is topics like this one.

The good news is that there is an  a list of obsolete methods that require hints to new API calls. The bad news is that it is being postponed over and over again.
