Though ASP.NET controls are great, in many cases I prefer the power and flexibility of doing things in code.
I wrote the following code this week as part of a demo I’m working on and thoght I would share it. (Why write all these case statements yourself.)
I hope someone finds it useful.
1: public partial class NewUser : System.Web.UI.Page
2: {
3: protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
4: {
5: Session["ContinueDestinationPageUrl"] = Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"];
6: }
7:
8: protected void btnAddUser_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
9: {
10: if (Page.IsValid)
11: {
12: MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
13: string sUserName = tbUserName.Text;
14: string sPassword = tbPassword.Text;
15: string sEmail = tbEmailAddress.Text;
16: string sQuestion = tbSecurityQuestion.Text;
17: string sAnswer = tbSecurityAnswer.Text;
18:
19: MembershipUser newUser = Membership.CreateUser(
HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(sUserName.Trim()),
20: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(sPassword.Trim()),
21: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(sEmail.Trim()),
22: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(sQuestion.Trim()),
23: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(sAnswer.Trim()),
24: true,
25: out createStatus);
26: string CreateResultMessage = "";
27: switch (createStatus)
28: {
29: case MembershipCreateStatus.Success:
30: CreateResultMessage =
"» The user was successfully created. «";
31: break;
32: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidUserName:
33: CreateResultMessage =
"The user name was not found in the database.";
34: break;
35: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidPassword:
36: CreateResultMessage =
"The password is not formatted correctly.";
37: break;
38: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidQuestion:
39: CreateResultMessage =
"The password question is not formatted correctly.";
40: break;
41: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidAnswer:
42: CreateResultMessage =
"The password answer is not formatted correctly.";
43: break;
44: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidEmail:
45: CreateResultMessage =
"The e-mail address is not formatted correctly.";
46: break;
47: case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName:
48: CreateResultMessage =
"The user name already exists in the database
for the application.";
49: break;
50: case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail:
51: CreateResultMessage =
"The e-mail address already exists in the database
for the application.";
52: break;
53: case MembershipCreateStatus.UserRejected:
54: CreateResultMessage =
"The user was not created, for a reason defined
by the provider.";
55: break;
56: case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidProviderUserKey:
57: CreateResultMessage =
"The provider user key is of an invalid type or
format.";
58: break;
59: case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateProviderUserKey:
60: CreateResultMessage =
"The ProviderUserKey already exists in the database
for the application.";
61: break;
62: case MembershipCreateStatus.ProviderError:
63: CreateResultMessage =
"The provider returned an error that is not described
by other ";
64: CreateResultMessage +=
"MembershipCreateStatus enumeration values.";
65: break;
66: }
67:
68: if (createStatus != MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
69: {
70: lblCreateResultMessage.CssClass = "ValidationError";
71: lblCreateResultMessage.Text = CreateResultMessage;
72: btnAddUser.Visible = true;
73: divResultMessage.Visible = true;
74: }
75: else
76: {
77: lblCreateResultMessage.CssClass = "bold";
78: btnAddUser.Visible = false;
79: FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(newUser.UserName, false);
80:
81: string continueUrl =
Session["ContinueDestinationPageUrl"].ToString();
82: if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(continueUrl))
83: {
84: continueUrl = "~/";
85: }
86: Response.Redirect(continueUrl);
87: }
88:
89: }
90: }
91:
92: }

Hey Joe,
thanks for this, im just considering refactoring my sign up page. How about going the whole hog and providing us the markup too?
dont call me lazy ;-D
Thanks, Nice information.
learn more
My ASP skills are a bit outdated thanks for writing stuff like this.
Maybe to consider to put message in resx in order to support multi-language. It will replace the switch-case block.
ie: MembershipMessage..ResourceManager.GetString(createStatus);
Hi Joe, is there any plan to rewrite the ClassField starter kit with MVC?
Awsome article. Thanks
Jacob – what is the ClassField starter kit ?
Like the Resource idea, saves a lot of hard coding. Nice code example. Working on a site now and will be using the Membership provider so it’s great timing too!
Hi Joe, it is Classifieds Site Starter Kit, http://www.asp.net/…/classifieds
Thansk – I’ll have a look at it
