PS. I have read all posts and articles about subforms.
It took me two days on debugging this. These is still no way out. Please help!!
1. In /theme/default/createuser.aspx,
I added a subform [SubFormIds="SaveLanguageSubform"] in <CSControl:CreateUserForm . The subform looks like this:
<custom:SaveLanguageSubForm runat="server" ID="SaveLanguageSubForm" LanguageDropDownListId="LanguageDDL"> <FormTemplate> <asp:DropDownList id="LanguageDDL" runat="server" /> </FormTemplate> </custom:SaveLanguageSubForm>
and <%@ Register Namespace="CS.Custom.Controls" TagPrefix="custom" %> is on the top of the page.
2. The SaveLanguageSubForm class is defined in App_Code folder under CS.Custom.Controls namespace.
3. The createuser.aspx works and can create a new user, but ApplyChangesAfterCommit() in the SaveLanguageSubForm class doesn't get to run at all!!! I want to copy the anonymous user's filterLanguages into the created user's filterLanguages settings in this function. but ......
After two days' tracing, I found where the problem is: the SaveLanguageSubForm subform can not be found by this line of code: " WrappedSubFormBase subForm = CSControlUtility.Instance().FindControl(this, id) as WrappedSubFormBase;". This line is in the source code (2007.1) \Controls\Forms\CreateUserForm.cs at around Line 194. "id" is the subform's ID.
When there is no subform, subForm.ApplyChangesAfterCommit(user) does not run.
Guesses:
1. CSControlUtility.Instance().FindControl(this, id) can not find the subform ID because it is defined as <custom:SaveLanguageSubForm>. In other CS's subforms, it is defined as <CSControl:AvatarSubForm> for example. but I don't know how to mimic it.
2. There is something wrong with my createuser.aspx or \App_Code\SaveLanguageSubForm.cs
HELP~~

Just a quick question, is the <custom:SaveLanguageSubForm nested inside the FormTemplate of the CreateUser form?
Rob
Yes! Would this the real reason? I didn't figure out how to move it out of the FormTemplate of the CreateUser form ....
I have posted the code.
but .....
In the original edituser.aspx, the <CSControl:UserAvatarSubForm is nested in the FormTemplate of <CSControl:EditUserForm
the UserAvatarSubForm can be found by CSControl.Instance().Findcontrol(this, id) though.
The same applies to :
In createeditentry.aspx:
<CSFile:CreateEditEntryForm
<FormTemplate>
<CSFile:EntryTagsSubForm
</FormTemplate>
</CSFile:EntryTagsSubForm>
</CSFile:CreateEditEntryForm>
In createeditpost.aspx:
<CSForum:CreateEditForumPostForm
<CSForum:PostTagsSubForm
</CSForum:PostTagsSubForm
<CSForum:PostAttachmentSubForm
</CSForum:PostAttachmentSubForm
<CSForum:PostInkSubForm
</CSForum:PostInkSubForm
<CSForum:PostVideoSubForm
</CSForum:PostVideoSubForm
<CSForum:PostPollSubForm
</CSForum:PostPollSubForm
Inside the FormTemplate tag is correct. I can't see any thing obviously wrong with your code and would need to debug it to see whats going on.
Sorry,Rob
A few more twickings, I found these is something wrong with \App_Code\SaveLanguageSubForm.cs
I added a SuccessAction subform from http://dev.communityserver.com/forums/p/481834/587628.aspx#587628 and it works. This subform can be found.
so, I would need to re-examin this: public class SaveLanguageSubForm : WrappedSubFormBase
.......................
Have a look at your code again
SubFormIds="SaveLanguageSubform" <custom:SaveLanguageSubForm runat="server" ID="SaveLanguageSubForm" LanguageDropDownListId="LanguageDDL">
SubFormIds="SaveLanguageSubform"
<custom:SaveLanguageSubForm runat="server" ID="SaveLanguageSubForm" LanguageDropDownListId="LanguageDDL">
The CreateUser control is looking for the "SaveLanguageSubform", but no such control exists. There is a control called "SaveLanguageSubForm", but that's a different control. Change your code so both match and you'll be good to go.

Ahh sharp eyes well done!
Thank you, afscrome. First thing in the morning seeing your thankful reply, I had great hope to solve this annoying issue, but found it has been corrected in last night's efforts of adding the SuccessActionSubForm. Still, SaveLanguageSubForm is not found, but SuccessActionSubForm is found. I was hoping this would have been solved this morning, but ..... oh no, more scratching on my head.
