I am rather confused I have got a createuser wizard control that I use with my custom user classes and role classes.
I have a step so that the admin user can create new users and assign them their roles. The OnActivate method is firing but the OnDeactivate is not. I have put break points on both methods and confirmed that it is not going into the method at all. I have included both the markup and code behind below, (sorry it is a bit long I did not want to cut anything out incase that was the problem):
<asp:Content ID='Content1' ContentPlaceHolderID='ContentPlaceHolder1' runat='Server'> <asp:CreateUserWizard ID='CreateUserWizard1' runat='server' ContinueDestinationPageUrl='~/admin/default.aspx' DisableCreatedUser='false' Font-Names='Verdana' BackColor='white' Font-Size='10pt' BorderWidth='1px' BorderColor='#CCCC99' BorderStyle='Solid' CompleteSuccessText='The account has been successfully created.'

Well I seem to have found ‘an’ answer… no idea why this would be the case.
I had the create user wizard page under /admin/createuser.aspx. When I put this in the root of the website ie.. /createuser.aspx it all worked!!!!
can’t explain it but it seemed to fix the problem.. very odd!
….. edit
I spoke too soon. It seems to be a permissions thing. I think it wants to log me (the user who is creating another account) out and log in the new user, who is not in any groups yet. This means they can not access any page that has security on it in the web.config which mine do.
question is how can I stop the person being logged out and give the new user permissions?
My ultimate solution was to use this statement in the CreateUserWizard control:
It simply stopped the user from being logged in and removed any worries of the permissions issues as the currently logged in user had to have permissions for that page in the first place.
