Question

I may be crazy, but I thought I remember reading that OnLoginError produces a value specific to what the exact error was (username/password mismatch vs. too many failed password attempts vs. account not being active, etc.). Does this exist (msdn provided me no answers) or am I just getting it confused with the error code produced when trying to add new users?

Answer 1

Think you might be getting confused with this:

protected void CreateAccountButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
     MembershipUser newUser = Membership.CreateUser(Username.Text, Password.Text, Email.Text, passwordQuestion, SecurityAnswer.Text, true, out createStatus);
     switch (createStatus)
     {
          case MembershipCreateStatus.Success:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "The user account was successfully created!";
               break;
          case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "There already exists a user with this username.";
               break;

          case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "There already exists a user with this email address.";
               break;
          case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidEmail:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "There email address you provided in invalid.";
               break;
          case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidAnswer:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "There security answer was invalid.";
               break;
          case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidPassword:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "The password you provided is invalid. It must be seven characters long and have at least one non-alphanumeric character.";

               break;
          default:
               CreateAccountResults.Text = "There was an unknown error; the user account was NOT created.";
               break;
     }
}
