Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the steps in a wizard atomic?

I have a two step wizard, the first step is a CreateUserWizard and the second is a factored profile. When coding I created an error in the profile step. I checked the database and found the new user was created but obviously without any profile information as that is the step where the error occurred. So does anyone have any ideas of how I can make these steps atomic? Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks

You need to work with transactions with the database. You can either pass in everything necessary to a single transactional SPROC in a single call (transaction at the DB level), or you can work with the classes in the System.Transactions namespace to make several calls within the context of a single transaction at the code level.

Thanks for the response planoie. Are you suggesting that I should alter the built-in sprocs for membership to include transactional features? If so how do I prevent data being submitted from the first step of the wizard, which is an automated process? I'm getting the feeling I may have to create an entirely customised system for creating new members and profiles, which I'm trying to avoid.
