I have the username entered from a form
Which method to use if that username is unique?
Membership.FindUsersByName or Membership.GetUser
Or any other methods?
I am asking this specifically because I didn’t see a method returning bool as its common in checking unique values.
Membership.GetUserhas slightly better performance. Also,Membership.FindUsersByNameperformes a LIKE statement if you are using SQL Membership, so it is not meant for unique names as you are trying to do.Short answer: to get best performance and find unique names, use
Membership.GetUser!
