scope issue with LoginView

iceman90289 · February 5th, 2009, 05:48 PM

i got this code here, and in the btn_DeliteUser method i need to access tbUserName which resides in a loginview control. the error i get is that tbUserName doesnt exist in the current context.
<code>
<scriptrunat="server">
protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
protectedvoid btn_DeliteUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string userName = tbUserName.Text;

Membership.DeleteUser(userName, true);
}
</script>
</code>

here is my code that makes the loginview
<code>
<asp:LoginView
ID="LoginView1"runat="server">
<LoggedInTemplate>
<asp:GridView
id="grdUsers"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="srcUsers"/>
<asp:ObjectDataSource
id="srcUsers"
runat="server"
TypeName="System.Web.Security.Membership"
SelectMethod="GetAllUsers"/>
<hr/>
</LoggedInTemplate>
<RoleGroups>
<asp:RoleGroupRoles="Administrator">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:LabelID="Label1"runat="server"Text="User Name:"/>
<asp:TextBox
id="tbUserName"
runat="server"

Code:

protected void btnDeleteUser_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 string userName = ((TextBox) LoginView1.FindControl("tbUserName")).Text;

 if (userName != null) 
    Membership.DeleteUser(userName, true);
}

May I offer a couple of other suggestions?

1. The DeleteUser method will throw an ArgumentException if userName is an empty string. You need to have a RequiredFieldValidator on tbUserName to eliminate the possibility of that happening.

2. Why do you have so many ObjectDataSources that all represent the exact same object? Just have ONE and put it outside of the LoginView so that all the GridViews can use the same one.
