Hi , i have used the asp.net membership wizzard to create new users for my website. I have attempted to customised the wizzard by adding a dropdown list which allows for the user role to be selected before creating the new user. The error message i get is
Server Error in '/Project' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:
Line 22: //TextBox UserNameTextBox = (TextBox)CreateUserWizard1.FindControl("UserName");
Line 23:
Line 24: Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, ddl.SelectedValue.ToString());
Line 25: }
Line 26:
This makes me think the findcontrol method is not working for the drop downlist. I have attatched the cs and aspx code below
Here is my code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.Security;
public partial class Accounts_Admin_adduser : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.FindControl("ddl_roles");
Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, ddl.SelectedValue.ToString());
}
protected void ContinueButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("~/Accounts/User/menu.aspx");
}
