I'm trying to create new members in umbraco 4.5, using Membership.CreateUser as Member.MakeNew is marked as obsolete. The first problem is that I don't know how to assign a member type to the member. Then I thought I only need one member type so in web.config I changed defaultMemberTypeAlias to the member type I created in the backend. But I get the error Umbraco Exception (DataLayer): SQL helper exception in ExecuteNonQuery. Member.MakeNew works just fine though. What should I do?
Slace, I checked the stack trace and easily figured out what was wrong, I wasn't supplying the 3rd Membership.CreateUser param, the email. I didn't do that because the user name is actually the user email. Anyway, it works now, but what do I do if I'll need to use more than one member type? And how do I set custom member properties?
create members in 4.5
Hi,

Thanks!
Can you provide the full stack trace for the error?

For custom member properties you can use a ProfileProvider - http://www.aaron-powell.com/umbraco-members-profiles
For multiple membership types you need to define different providers, and then you just access the one you need as you need it.
Well, I guess I'll continue to use Member.MakeNew as long as it works, it's just much easier.
Thanks!
