Exception adding user with no email

[David Thielen]

Hi;

When I add a user using the SqlMembershipProvider (I have
requiresUniqueEmail="false") and use CreateUser(name, password) - ie no email
address, the user is created but CreateUser throws an exception saying the
user already exists.

Any idea why?

Hello Dave,

The problem may not be with email since you have set
requiresUniqueEmail="false", have you double check if the user has existed
in the database? You may open the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool ,
select Security/Manage Users, you can see all registered users here, and
you can try a different user name again to see if it can work.

The user did not exist (I had 0 when I first started testing this). And once
I gave them an email it worked. I think the SqlMembership code may require an
email - it doesn't have to be unique but it can't be null.
