Hi all!

I'm relatively new to DNN and now I have my first problem that I can't fix. I simply can't update user info. To make it really simple I only try to update first name. I get no error message but user info doesn't update. I've tried to search tutorials and forums but I can't find any answers to my problem. Maybe I'm just blind..

I have ascx file with one textBox, one button and one RequiredFieldValidator. Here's parts of my vb code:

Imports DotNetNuke
Imports DotNetNuke.Entities.Users
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Reflection

...

...

Protected Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
            Try
                If Page.IsValid Then
                    Dim cUser As New UserController
                    Dim iUser As UserInfo = cUser.GetUser(Me.PortalId, Me.UserId)
                    iUser.FirstName = Me.txtFirstName.Text
                    iUser.Profile.SetProfileProperty("FirstName", Me.txtFirstName.Text)
                    UserController.UpdateUser(Me.PortalId, iUser)
                End If
            Catch exc As Exception
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
            End Try
        End Sub

If I use same code but instead of iUser.FirstName = Me.txtFirstName.Text I put iUser.FirstName = "MyName" the FirstName property does update. I have this same problem with DNN 3.7.7 and 4.5.5. I'm sure there is a simple way to solve this problem but I can't find it out.. Maybe my portal settings are wrong or I don't import all necessary items or something.

It would be nice if someone could tell me what I do wrong. And it would be even better if someone could point me a good tutorial of updating user.

Thanks!

I'm doing the same sort of thing.  I am creating a user through the user controller and the UserInfo data updates fine.  I am also assigning the user to a role and that works.  What I can't figure out is why, when I try to add a value to a custom property I set up in the property definitions, the value does not get updated.  Here's a snapshot of my code:

                Dim salesman As New SalesmanInfo
                Dim dealerRoleInfo As New Security.Roles.RoleInfo
                dealerRoleInfo = _dnnroleController.GetRoleByName(PortalId, "Dealer")
                'Create the saleman DNN UserInfo object and hydrate it
                Dim slsmanUserInfo As New UserInfo

'Load up the salesman object with data from the form
                With salesman
                    .Name = Name.Text
                    .Company = Company.Text
                    If CorpRadioBtn.Checked = True Then
                        .Is_1099 = 0
                    ElseIf NonCorpRadioBtn.Checked = True Then
                        .Is_1099 = 1
                    Else
                        .Is_1099 = 0
                    End If
                    .Phone = Phone.Text
                    .FaxNumber = Fax.Text
                    .CellPhone = CellPhone.Text
                    .EmailAddress = Email.Text
                    .TaxID = TaxSSID.Text
                    .Address1 = Address1.Text
                    .Address2 = Address2.Text
                    .City = City.Text
                    .State = State.SelectedValue
                    .PostalCode = PostalCode.Text
                    .Country = Country.SelectedValue
                    .Account = Account.Text
                    .RoutingNumber = RoutingNumber.Text
                    .Currency = AccountCurrency.SelectedValue
                    .AcceptedAgreement = False
                    .Level = Level.SelectedIndex
                    If UserInfo.IsInRole("CSR") = True Or UserInfo.IsInRole("SM") = True Or UserInfo.IsInRole("Admin") = True Then
                        .SalesManagerID = TerritoryMgr.SelectedIndex
                    ElseIf UserInfo.IsInRole("TM") Then
                        .SalesManagerID = UserInfo.Profile.GetProperty("SalesmanID").PropertyValue
                    End If
                    .SalesmanClass = "005"
                End With

                'Create a new salesman in the database
                _hgpsUserController.CreateSalesman(salesman)

                'show the new salesman added by creating a read only view.
                Me.Dealer.SelectParameters.Clear()
                Me.Dealer.SelectParameters.Add("SalesmanID", salesman.SalesmanID)
                formView1.DataBind()
                formView1.ChangeMode(formViewMode.ReadOnly)

                'Populate the salesman DotNetNuke UserInfo object and save it
                With slsmanUserInfo
                    .DisplayName = Name.Text
                    .Email = Email.Text
                    .FirstName = Split(Name.Text, " ")(0)
                    .LastName = Split(Name.Text, " ")(1)
                    .PortalID = PortalId
                    .Username = UserID.Text
                    .Membership.Password = Password.Text
                End With

                'Create the salesman, update the salesmanID and add the user to the Dealer role
                UserController.CreateUser(slsmanUserInfo)
                DotNetNuke.Entities.Profile.ProfileController.GetUserProfile(slsmanUserInfo)
                slsmanUserInfo.Profile.SetProfileProperty("SalesmanID", salesman.SalesmanID.ToString)
                _dnnroleController.AddUserRole(PortalId, slsmanUserInfo.UserID, dealerRoleInfo.RoleID, Null.NullDate)

I don't receive any errors, it just doesn't update.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
