Adding personalized data for a new user upon registration.

Hello, I am trying to store personalized data for new users using a registration page which inherits for the personalsettings page (episerver samples). Does anyone have a sample on how to do this? I know that if an aready existing user is logged in, they can change values using the following code:


if(PersonalizedData.Current!=null) 
{ 
 // Print current value 
 if(PersonalizedData.Current["MyTestKey",CurrentPage.PageLink]!=null) 
  Response.Write(PersonalizedData.Current["MyTestKey",CurrentPage.PageLink]);

The question is how to do it for the new users. The Registration page creates a new user but I am not sure how to apply it to the code above. The code for creating the user is:


User = new UserSid(SecurityIdentityType.ExtranetUser);

Thanks. Victor

The following was sent to me by EPiServer (Greger). Hi Victor I just tested the following code without any problems. Can’t really say why it won’t work for you. Perhaps if you send me the whole aspx/ascx I might find something. By the way, are you sure you want to store information regarind city etc per page (using Current[“key”,pagereference])? .aspx


    Global 

    Local 

    Global  

    Local

.cs


protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
                                                          {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                if (PersonalizedData.Current["cbGlobal"] != null)
                    cbGlobal.Checked = (bool)PersonalizedData.Current["cbGlobal"];
 
                if (PersonalizedData.Current["cbLocal", CurrentPageLink] != null)
                    cbLocal.Checked = (bool)PersonalizedData.Current["cbLocal", CurrentPageLink];
 
                if (PersonalizedData.Current["tbGlobal"] != null)
                    tbGlobal.Text = PersonalizedData.Current["tbGlobal"].ToString();
 
                if (PersonalizedData.Current["tbLocal", CurrentPageLink] != null)
                    tbLocal.Text = PersonalizedData.Current["tbLocal", CurrentPageLink].ToString();
            }
                                                          }
 
        protected void save(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            PersonalizedData.Current["cbGlobal"] = cbGlobal.Checked;
            PersonalizedData.Current["cbLocal", CurrentPageLink] = cbLocal.Checked;
            PersonalizedData.Current["tbGlobal"] = tbGlobal.Text;
            PersonalizedData.Current["tbLocal", CurrentPageLink] = tbLocal.Text;
        }

I am still struggling with this code. I've explored both options of using the CreateUserWizard or add a personalizedData. It seems that I am closer to finding a solution with personalizedData but I am struggling with one small aspect. When logged in, I am able to change the personalized data with no problem (using PersonalSettings control). However, when I am creating a new user after the user fills out the registration form (Registration control), I get the core values recorded for the user (user name, name, lastname) but not the PersonalizedData (City). The simple PersonalizedData.Current["City"] = City.Text; doesn't work as there is no current value for the user. I tried the following but it doesn't work.

 
User = new UserSid(SecurityIdentityType.ExtranetUser);

PersonalizedData userData = PersonalizedData.Load(User.Name);
userData["City"] = City.Text;

I don't get any errors but the values are not recorded in the tblUserProperty table. What am I missing in the Register control to register this personal data for the new user?

Hi Victor! In case you havent figured this out yet, I guess you simply miss the final Save() call: PersonalizedData persData = PersonalizedData.Load(username); persData["City"] = "Stockholm"; persData.Save(); Regards, Johan Olofsson
