AddUserRole error

Any idea why this throws an exception when AddUserRole is called?

oUserInfo = UserController.GetUserByName(PortalId, emailParts[0]);

DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController rC = new DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleController();

DotNetNuke.Security.Roles.RoleInfo rI = rC.GetRoleByName(PortalId, "SIG Members");

rC.AddUserRole(oUserInfo.UserID, PortalId,rI.RoleID, DateTime.Now.AddYears(100));

The exception is:

System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error generating the XML document. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Thanks for any advice.

Re: AddUserRole error

In your call to AddUserRole, the PortalId and UserID parameters should be reversed. Easy mistake to make - one of the reasons that I like to keep a second instance of VS open to the DNN framework source code when I'm writing module code.

Re: AddUserRole error

Thanks so much. That's one of those errors that you NEVER see because you're looking so hard for something that's WRONG ... and it's so obvious! <g>

Re: AddUserRole error

OK ... with that fixed, AddUserRole does't throw an exception. It seems to work, but the role is not added. Is there something else that is needed?
