umbraco membership createuser & select profile data

Question

I have created a class to handle membership user creation with custom fields.

I have done it based on this solutions:

• How to assign Profile values?

• Using ASP .NET Membership and Profile with MVC, how can I create a user and set it to HttpContext.Current.User?

  namespace CCL
  {
  public static MemberProfile CurrentUser
  {
  get
      {
  if (Membership.GetUser() != null)
      return ProfileBase.Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName) as MemberProfile;
  else
      return null;
  }
      }
  }
  

And now I'm trying to use create the user and get the profile data:

if (Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(email) == null)
{
MembershipUser member = Membership.CreateUser(username, password, email);

Roles.AddUserToRole(username, "WebsiteUsers");

CCL.MemberProfile currentProfile = CCL.MemberProfile.CurrentUser;

bool exists = currentProfile != null;
Response.Write(exists.ToString());
}

but currentProfile is returning null.

So I'm unable to assign values from the form to my member custom properties which are handled by the properties set in the class :(

I don't get how I can make it working :(

Does anyone have some thoughts? Thanks

Suggestion 1:

Make sure that ProfileBase.Create returns something that can be cast to a "MemberProfile", otherwise if it can't then casting it will just return NULL.

Suggestion 2:

Make sure the context you are running in has a logged in user, so your call to Membership.GetUser() can find the current user object.

Other thoughts:

The ProfileBase.Create method assumes that the username you pass in is an authenticated user, I'm not sure on it's behavior when the user isn't authenticated..maybe it returns NULL?
