I having a problem creating new users as part of a CSJob I've created.  The problem is that I get a NullReference exception when I create the user. The code in question is as follows:

Dim usr As New User

usr.AccountStatus = UserAccountStatus.Approved
usr.Username = "Delgeate123443"
usr.EnableDisplayName = True
usr.Email = "tester1@ptpprograms.org"
 
Try
     Users.Create(usr, False)
Catch ex As Exception
     Throw ex
End Try

Any thoughts?

I tried that, and got the same error.  The error seems to be occuring in the data provider. I'm going to look at the source code and see what I can find out.

I figured it out. IsAnonymous needs to be set to true.

Hi Guys,

I am attempting to create a cs2007 user as part of a job and I am getting the following exception:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

and my code looks like this:

public class ImportUsersJob : ITask

{

public void Execute(System.Xml.XmlNode node)

{

User user;user = new User();

 

user.AccountStatus = CommunityServer.Components.UserAccountStatus.Approved;

user.Username = "matt";

user.Password = "pass99T";

user.Email = "matt@hotmail.com";

user.IsAnonymous = true;

CommunityServer.Users.Create(user, false);

}

}

 

Is there something that I have to do in order to be allowed to execute this code?

Thanks,

Matt

Just a question... Is there any particular reason you are setting IsAnonymous to true? Just because it makes it work in some instances doesn't mean that it should necessarily be done.  What if the user doesn't want to be anonymous?

Perhaps you could take a peak at the CreateUserForm...

I believe you might want to set IsAnonymous -> False, AccountStatus -> UserAccountStatus.Approved,

Thanks mate, 

It seems it was as simple as setting the IsAnonymous to false and it all worked!

Thanks,
