http://umbraco.miketaylor.eu/2010/08/29/ its work fine and my only query is how i can check the if user is allready exits and again he want to enter registration form i need to display the message user is allready exits.

iam using the above code to save in the database and send a link to the user to activate. its work fine. but i how to check if user is allready registered. what i need to modify in code.

 protected void cwMember_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
     
        try
        {
            CreateUserWizard cuw = (CreateUserWizard)sender;
            MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(cuw.UserName);
            if (user != null)
            {
                string newUserGuid = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N");
                MemberProfile me = MemberProfile.GetUserProfile(cuw.UserName);

                me.AuthGuid = newUserGuid;
                me.FirstName = ((TextBox)cuw.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("FirstName")).Text;
                me.MiddleName = ((TextBox)cuw.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("MiddleName")).Text;
                me.LastName = ((TextBox)cuw.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("LastName")).Text;
                me.Save();
                Roles.AddUserToRole(cuw.UserName, "SiteMembers ");
                HyperLink hlAuth = (HyperLink)cuw.CompleteStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("hlAuth");
                if (hlAuth != null)
                {
                    hlAuth.NavigateUrl = "http://" + Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_HOST"] + Request.ApplicationPath.TrimEnd('/') + "/authenticate.aspx?a=" + user.UserName + "&b=" + newUserGuid;

                    hlAuth.Text = hlAuth.NavigateUrl;
                }
            }
         }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Literal1.Text = ex.StackTrace;
            
        }

I would check for a user account by using the .NET membership library located in using System.Web.Security; Also, I have code for adding custom properties to the Umbraco Membership backend in this code. Please note that I do have some custom code in there, such as Message.Add(), which is part of a website library that I created to show messages to the end user on the site (not the backend).

   protected bool createUserAccount()
    {
     if (Membership.GetUser(txtEmailAddress.Text) == null)
     {
         MembershipCreateStatus status;

          try
           {
             MembershipUser user = Membership.CreateUser(txtEmailAddress.Text,
                 txtPassword.Text,
                 txtEmailAddress.Text,
                 System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PasswordRecoveryQuestion"],
                    System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PasswordRecoveryAnswer"],
                  true,
                 out status);

                if (status == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
             {
                 try
                   {
                     // Add Umbraco Properties
                     Member member = Member.GetMemberFromEmail(txtEmailAddress.Text);

                        if (member != null || member.Id > 0)
                       {
                         member.Text = txtFirstName.Text + " " + txtLastName.Text;
                         member.getProperty("firstName").Value = txtFirstName.Text;
                            member.getProperty("lastName").Value = txtLastName.Text;
                          member.getProperty("company").Value = txtCompany.Text;
                            member.Save();
                        }

                       return true;
                  }
                 catch (Exception err)
                 {
                     Message.Add(err.ToString(), MessageType.Bad, 10000);
                      return false;
                 }
             }
             else
              {
                 Message.Add("The user account could not be created. " + status.ToString(), MessageType.Bad, 10000);
                   return false;
             }
         }
         catch (Exception err)
         {
             Message.Add(err.Message, MessageType.Bad, 10000);
             return false;
         }
     }
     else
      {
         Message.Add("The e-mail address you entered is already in use. Please use another e-mail address.", MessageType.Bad, 10000);
          return false;
     }
 }

Also, the following Is depreciated, but continues to work. I'm not sure of the alternate to do this.

Member.GetMemberFromEmail()
