CreateUserWizard - membership and roles

[Sherman KB]

I have the need to be able to create users and add them to a role. I'll also
need to associate the data with some other data. I'm using the sql provider,
and I'm looking for a way to wrap this data in a transaction. It looks like
the membership.create users either works for fails, and the roles.addusers
works the same. Ideally I'd like to hook both the membership.add and
roles.addusers into one atomic transaction. Is this possible?

In this case, Transaction Scope's are your friend. You can read about
it here:

Your code should look something like what I have below. (I even
tested it) With the throw in, the user doesn't get added even though
the CreateUser call is made successfully. (as I had hoped).

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
{
MembershipCreateStatus mstatus;
Membership.CreateUser("newuseryyy", "pass@word",
"(e-mail address removed)", "q", "a", true, out mstatus);

throw new ApplicationException("aborting, user should not
be added");

scope.Complete();

}

Good Luck

Peter,

Thanks for the tip. That should work.
