Adding roles to the 'CreateUserWizard'

Question

Hi (I\'m pretty new to this),

Is it possible to add roles to the \'CreateUserWizard\' tool so that you tick boxes (or view roles in a drop down menu) and once one or

Answer 1

Add the dropdownlist under the last textbox of the CreateUserWizard as the following code shows. ASP:

                 <%---------existing items------------%>
                   <tr>
                        <td align="right">
                            <asp:Label runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Answer" ID="AnswerLabel">Security Answer:</asp:Label></td>
                        <td>
                            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Answer"></asp:TextBox>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="Answer" ErrorMessage="Security answer is required." ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1" ToolTip="Security answer is required." ID="AnswerRequired">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </td>
                    </tr>

                    <%---------role Dropdownlist to be inserted here------------%>
                    <tr><td align="right"><asp:Label runat="server"  ID="RoleLabel">Role</asp:Label></td>
                        <td>
                            <asp:DropDownList ID="RoleDropDownList" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList></td>

                    </tr>

Also you have to add in behind code the following:

     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {  
        ((DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleDropDownList")).DataSource = Roles.GetAllRoles(); 
        ((DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleDropDownList")).DataBind( );  
        int rolecounter = ((DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleDropDownList")).Items.Count; 
        ((DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleDropDownList")).Items[rolecounter - rolecounter].Selected = true;     
    }
}
protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DropDownList roleDropDownList = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("RoleDropDownList");
    Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, roleDropDownList.SelectedValue);
}

Briefly, what you need to do is to add the roles dropdown/checklist control somewhere in the <asp:CreateUserWizardStep><ContentTemplate> section.

Since the control is in a Template, you need to use the following code to find the control in the code behind:

roleDropDownList = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl( "RoleDropDownList" );

You'd bind it like you normally would bind a control in the Page_Init.

To add the user to the role, use the CreatedUser event of the CreateUserWizard control.

protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  Roles.AddUserToRole( CreateUserWizard1.UserName, roleDropDownList.SelectedValue );
}

Answer 3

if you want to assign the role to the user you just created you can use this :

Roles.AddUserToRole((sender as CreateUserWizard).UserName, "YourRole");
