My goal: Have the UserName field always default to the registered user's email address and then to hide the UserName row whenever DNN builds a related form control. I do this to accomodate the SSO solution I devised of which currently uses the email address as the login. I was able to accomplish the UserName modification but only by doing a rough hack of the DNN PropertyEditorControl.vb and the UserInfo.vb.

I would prefer to be able to access the UserName textbox and lable via the ManageUsers.ascx (of which I cloned within my own PA for the SSO fix). Is there anything anyone can suggest regarding this? I was thinking somehow of getting a reference to the User.ascx's UserEditor object and then effect the visibility property kind of how I hacked it the PropertyEditorControl.vb? I don't know, I am open to any suggestion. Anyway, what is up with this UserName field anyway. I know the Microsoft provider needs it, but there should be a clearer way to work with these "required" fields...in my opinion.

Anyway, Thanks!
