Hi everybody,
I am trying to update users data using the UpdateUser method into ASPNET.MDF(the default database that is created when createuserwizard control is used). The problem is when I try to update the user username, I get this error:
'System.Web.Security.MembershipUser' does not contain a definition for 'Username'. Is it impossible to change username or other information when a user is already created? Any help or comment would be great!!!
I already tried changing email did it right
        :) what is wrong with username?

Here is the code I put in the update button onclick event:

user.Username = ((TextBox)this.Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHol der1").FindControl("txt1")).Text;
        Membership.UpdateUser(user);

You cannot update the Username, once a user is created, it's readonly. Because it's used as a primary key it would invlove a lot of code and database checks. To get around this you'd have to create a new User object and override the provider to allow for this possibility.

Thank Joe you have been very helpful to me and I appreciate that!
The thing is that I am a new using ASP.NET and I didn't get the meaning of "override the provider". I don't know if its possible for you to provide me some extra information just to have an idea and keep looking for a solution.

Regards

Well if you're new to this then I'd steer clear unless you have to. You can write your own provider that inherits from a built-in one or just from scratch. I did it once and it's no small task but in your case it's probably not too difficult. You'd have to do something similar with the MembershipUser too. There are articles on msdn2.com about the asp.net 2.0 membership provider model and also a fantastic Wrox book on it (wish I'd read it before I started on the task, Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management, not sure if it's still available outside of one of their packages though: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...470117575.html.
