Question

i have the following code:

        if (Membership.FindUsersByName(username) == null)
        {
            Membership.CreateUser(username, password, email);
        }

        if (!Roles.RoleExists("USR"))
        {
            Roles.CreateRole("USR");
        }
        Roles.AddUserToRole(username,"USR");

Data is being inserted in the aspnet_Users and aspnet_UsersInRoles, but data is not being inserted in the aspnet_membership and i need this data as i’m using the asp login control.

can someone help me out?

Answer 1

The problem is with the if statement. The reason why it doesn’t work is because the FindUsersByName method returns a collection of MembershipUsers. There might not be any users, but a collection still gets returned.

Please change the statement to the following…

if (Membership.FindUsersByName(username).Count == 0)
{
    Membership.CreateUser(username, password, email);
}

That should do it.
