    Dynamically Creating members in 4.5.x

    I am trying to create members dynamically and running into a lot of old out of date examples.  What is the correct way in 4.5?

    This is what I have so far, but its throught object reference errors.

     

     protected void CreateMember()
            {           
                if (Membership.GetUser(username.Text) == null)
                {
                    MembershipUser newMember = Membership.CreateUser(username.Text, Membership.GeneratePassword(6, 3), emailAddress.Text);

    }
    }

    The problem was I wasn't setting the defaultMemberTypeAlias in the web config

    <add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="Consumers" passwordFormat="Hashed" />

     

    Here is how I am creating the member, it works, if anyone has another way, let me know. 

     

    if (Membership.GetUser(userName.Text) == null)
            {
                MembershipProvider myProvider = Membership.Providers["UmbracoMembershipProvider"];
                MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
                MembershipUser newMember = myProvider.CreateUser(userName.Text, confirmPassword.Text, emailAddress.Text, string.Empty, string.Empty, true, string.Empty, out createStatus);

                if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
                {
                    Roles.AddUserToRole(userName.Text, "Consumers");
                    // OTHER CODE

                }

    }

    Personally, I'm using the asp:CreateUserWizard control to create my wizard, and it creates the new Member as desired (but does NOT respect the default MemberTypeAlias, and therefore in the CreatedUser event, I have the same line as you to add them to the correct Role. No other registration code, just that one line (the rest is non-registration related)

    Roles.AddUserToRole(userName.Text, "Consumers");
