Hi.

I have a situation where I create new umbraco members via the Member class:

 mem = Member.MakeNew(email, MemberType.GetByAlias("Member"), new User(0));

                mem.getProperty("firstname").Value = firstname;
                mem.getProperty("lastname").Value = lastname;
                mem.Email = email;
                mem.Save();

Afterwards I search in all users via the the following code:

var all = Member.GetAll;

var result = (from m in all
                          where ((string) m.getProperty("lastname").Value).ToLower() == searchstring 
                          select m).ToList();

This does not work.

I recall something about the properties need to be read before the database is contacted and the properties are populated.

Any Ideas?
