Creating Users Manually

[BobLaughland]

Hi There,

I am creating an ASP .NET 2.0 web page using c#.

I am using the 'CreateUserWizard' control to add users to my site. Just
wondering whether there is a programatic way to do this.

E.G. I want to create a spreadsheet with 50 users details on it, and
then want to load that in and create the users in the database.

The uncertainty I have at the moment is actually taking the records and
putting them into the database. Is there a method somewhere as part of
the 'CreateUserWizard' which will take the persons details and insert
it into the database. I can't just insert all the data in the database
because the 'CreateUserWizard' automatically adds stuff to a bunch of
tables, and also encrypts the password and all that.

One other alternative is to programatically set the fields to add the
users one at a time into the 'CreateUserWizard' control I have on my
page, and then force it to click the button. My question is how can I
force it to click the button?

Thanks,

Peter.

Hello Peter,

Anything the login controls or the webadmin tool can do, you can do
programatically. They are wrappers for the api. You can create a user
programatically using the Membership.CreateUser() method. See the docs for
more info on the Membership classes in general.
