Basic problem: We are currently busy developing a C# MVC3 web application, and after writing a CustomMembershipProvider and a custom RegisterModel, our Register form does not seem to be working. this error is pretty frustrating.
Here’s what happens: Form is displayed, with register button at the bottom:
<input type="submit" value="Register" />
However, when you click the register-button, nothing happens.
Here’s the HttpPost method:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus = ((CustomMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider).CreateUser(model);
if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
{
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl) && returnUrl.Length > 1 && returnUrl.StartsWith("/")
&& !returnUrl.StartsWith("//") && !returnUrl.StartsWith("/\\"))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("","Something went wrong");
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on how you have everything setup you might have to explicity tell the form where to post (in your view):
