Membership.CreateUser: The E-mail supplied is invalid.

[Alan]

Hi Expert,

Dim u As MembershipUser = Membership.CreateUser("jfewfewa801",
"r09gtrez30@")

Above statement return "The E-mail supplied is invalid." until I set
requiresUniqueEmail="false" in web.config. Is there a way to create
user with empty email address while required non-empty email to be
unique?

I can insert dummy unique to work around this but it's so ugly, any
beautiful solution?

thanks a ton in advance.

There may be a work around, but I get around these type isses like this.

string fakeEmail = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N") +
"@doesnotexist.com";

something like that.

Sloan,

This is the same workaround I thought of. It seems that we have no
more choices.
