I have an SqlDataSource for accessing table information located on a remote shared SQL Server. In this same database I have an existing Users table with custom field names. Can I use the CreateUserWizard control to connect to this data source for the purpose of adding new users. My Sql database is located on a remote server in a shared environment.

I cannot find a data source selection in the CreateUserWizard properties.

Hi there,

You can take a look at this thread: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41084

It explains how to add additional information to the existing users.
If that's not enough, you need to write your own provider, which is not as bad as it sounds, although it means quite a lot of work.

This article is probably a good place to start: http://imar.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?QUICKDOC=380

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi Imar,
I have reviewed the thread http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=41084
 and How to add a Login, Roles and Profile system to an ASP.NET 2.0 app in only 24 lines of code
I am doing exactly the same thing,creatinga new Listbox in teh create user.
But when i add the selectedvalue,it throws exception,which says myProfile.Education = CType(CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemp lateContainer.FindControl("Education"), DropDownList).SelectedValue

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

pls help me.

Does it say where it crashes? That is, what object is null??

Have you tried setting a breakpoint, and by debugging looked at the variables and their values?

Hi Imar
myprofile.education value shows as null.

Hi Imar,pls help

It could be null the first time, if a value hasn't been set before.

How did you set up the profile? Do you get Intelli Sense on the Education property?

And did you try debugging?

You can also try something like this:

Dim myDropDown As DropDownList = _
CType(CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemp lateContainer.FindControl("Education"), DropDownList)

Does that result in a valid DropDownList control when you debug it?
