I successfully added a web service to my DNN site:
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/B... 

My goal is to allow our customer service agents access to portal user accounts from an internal web app. I was thinking that if this web service were hosted on the DNN site, I wouldn't have any problems. However just trying to get user information returns an error that memberProvider is null/nothing:

Public Shared Function GetUserById(ByVal portalId As Integer, ByVal userId As Integer) As UserInfo
        Return memberProvider.GetUser(portalId, userId)
End Function

I'm not sure how to create an instance of memberProvider. Is this caused by some configuration setting I need to include in the web.config? What am I missing?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

   memberProvider has its context. It has no problem if you call it on dnn app because dnn knows how to initialize it. However, when you call directly it from external application, you will get error because it has no way to know how to initialize it.

    Maybe you can create a aspx page which inherit from DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase, pass some parameter to let it carry your actions, then you can call that page from your own app. Of course, I believe web services can also do same things.
