Question

I am using form base authentication in my Sharepoint site. On my login page there are custom fields to be filled by unauthenticated user. These fields i want to add in to my list. I am using following code to insert record in list.

protected void AddVendor(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string strList = "http://comp01:5353/Lists/Vendors/";

    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(strList))
    {
        site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
        {
            web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
            SPUser user = web.AllUsers["demouser"];    
            SPList list = web.Lists["Vendors"];
            SPListItem Item = list.Items.Add();
            Item["First Name"] = txtVendorName.Text;
            Item["Last Name"] = txtVLastName.Text;
            Item["business"] = txtDescription.Text;
            Item["Description"] = txtDescription.Text;
            Item["Mobile No"] = txtMobileNumber.Text;
            Item["Approved"] = "No";
            Item["Created By"] = "demoadmin";
            Item["Modified By"] = "demoadmin";   
            Item.Update();
        }
    }
}

but is is giving me an error saying that Thread was being aborted. I don’t know what exactly missing. but is it because I am performing add action and user is not authenticated…?

I don´t know if it will help you but the code that says (f.e.) Item[“Modified By”] will not work since that is the internal name which is Modified_x0020_By. This goes for all the fields with “spaces” in them.

This might be one of your issues…
