Hey just a question.  When using the wizard provided is there away to automatically assign that new user to a role which exists?

Thanks!

after you have created the User call AddUserToRole static method of Roles Object.

 Roles.AddUserToRole("UserName", "RoleName"); 

Hi there

This sort of answers a question I was going to ask but can you provide more info as to where you put this line of code. Iam currently building my site on the back of the Job Site starter kit. Currently I have no option but to keep the drop down for the user to select which role, when I only ever want all users to be in one role. I did try and take away this option but the page brought up errors, so I have just left it in.

I would appreciate your help.

you could add code to the createduser event like this of the wizard:

Hi Thanks for the reply. However Iam still a little confused.

 My CreatAcccount.aspx.vb code looks like this.Where do I add the code, as where ever I add it I get an error, ie wavy lines below the code.

Partial Class createAccount

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser

End Sub

You can put it here. However, I used it in the "CreatingUser" event.

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser

 Roles.AddUserToRole("UserName", "RoleName");

End Sub

Hi,

What is the error message?

Since the function name is the event handler name, so you should tell the control which method is the handler in ASPX file:

      <asp:createuserwizard id="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server" oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser">

Please check this too.

Hi there

Thanks for the prompt reply, I would have answered sooner but I have been away. I added the code as you suggested but it did not like the ; after the ) so it looked like this

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser

 Roles.AddUserToRole("UserName", "RoleName")

End Sub

However when I tested it I gor the following error

The user 'UserName' is already in role 'user'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The user 'UserName' is already in role 'user'.

Source Error:

Line 5:      Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser
Line 6:  
Line 7:          Roles.AddUserToRole("Username", "user")
Line 8:  
Line 9:      End Sub

Take thisout out of the <asp> tag and try it: oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser

<asp:createuserwizard id="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server" oncreateduser="CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser">

Hi sorry Iam still none the wiser. Thanks for your help and patients but this is really getting to me, to the point where I cannot get it to work and want to give up.

I have started again and created a new page called join.aspx I have added the within the custom content a CreateUser Task Wizard using the default settings so it looks like this.

 The join.aspx.vb looks like this

Partial Class join

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

What do I have to add to the code in the aspx. and aspx.vb pages so that I can ensure all new people who sign up become members of the user Role.

First, do you have a Role created? If not, use the Web Site Administration Tool to create a Role.

Then put this on the join.aspx.vb page:

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser

 Roles.AddUserToRole("UserName", "RoleName");

End Sub

.................

Change RoleName in the Sub to the name of the Role that you created. Leave "UserName" as is.

Go through some tutorials on this stuff and then you'll understand it better. Here's a link to some tutorials:

Good Luck

Hi

I think there could possibly be an error with this line: 

Roles.AddUserToRole("UserName", "RoleName");

Looking at some code examples, I found the following for illustration, it will need modifying for your code: 

Roles.AddUserToRole(Username.Text, RoleList.SelectedItem.Value)

Maybe yours should be:

Roles.AddUserToRole(UserName.Text, RoleName.Text);

The point I am trying to make is that it might be that the way you have it at the moment, it is not reading the Text property of the UserName properly.  So say you try and create a UserName of Morgan, with your existing code this is read as Username, but if you used "Username.Text" instead it would be correctly read as Morgan.

Hi There

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.  My join.aspx.vb now looks like this, though now with errors!!

Partial Class join

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser

Roles.AddUserToRole(UserName.Text, RoleName.Text);

End Sub

End Class

Roles.AddUserToRole(UserName.Text, RoleName.Text);

End Sub

End Class

1. Make sure your TextBox which take ths User Name is Called "UserName".
2. I think your TextBox Lied in the CreateUserWizard1. so replace the code like this:

dim username as string= CType(WizardCreateUser.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("UserName"), TextBox).Text

dim role as string= CType(WizardCreateUser.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleName"), TextBox).Text

Roles.AddUserToRole(username,role);

Where:

UserName and RoleName are the Text Boxes for User Name and the Role Name.

 Which are added to ContentTemplate of the CreateUserWizardStep.

See the .aspx Page side:

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="WizardCreateUser" runat="server" ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx"
      OnCreatedUser="WizardCreateUser_CreatedUser">
       <WizardSteps>
        <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1"  runat="server">
          <ContentTemplate>
              <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
              <asp:TextBox ID="RoleName" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
           </ContentTemplate>                           
         </asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
       <asp:CompleteWizardStep ID="CompleteWizardStep1" runat="server" />
       </WizardSteps>               
</asp:CreateUserWizard>
