Bit of guess work here, as to me the error message doesn't look like it comes from the Member.MakeNew method ... my guess is to do with the User.
Try moving the User to a new line?
MemberType demoMemberType = new MemberType(1222);
umbraco.BusinessLogic.User user = new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(0);
Member newMember = Member.MakeNew("John Smith", demoMemberType, user);
See if that's the line that returns the error ... if it does, make sure you have a User with an ID of "0" (and it's not been disabled).
Other than that the "The given key was not present in the dictionary." error message is usually from a Collection-based object; Hashtable, Dictionary, etc. It's a case of figuring out which 'key' is being expected and why isn't it there? (maybe copy-n-paste the full exception?)
I've mode the User line as suggested. When stepping thru the code, that line works fine. It still crashes on the Member.MakeNew line (which is line 67):

OK, a long shot here... have you deleted a data-type that is still being used in your member-type?
If so, I think you'll have a problem here... not 100% sure how you can revert it ... unless anyone else has a better suggestion? My advice would be to delete the member-type and re-create it.
I just added a new member-type (with no properties) and it worked. So what does this mean exactly - Are one of my referenced properties possibly gone or deleted? What can I do to make sure this doesn't happen again? I'm not the only one in my umbraco site doing testing .. :)
As a general rule of thumb, I don't delete any of the data-types unless I am 100% certain that they are not being used in a document/media/member type. If other developers are working the same Umbraco install, then instruct them to NEVER delete a data-type - leave that job to the lead developer.
There are things that you can put in place to prevent it happening, but it will require some custom code to hook into the event handlers for the data-types (i.e. "umbraco.cms.businesslogic.datatype.DataTypeDefinition.Deleting").
As for your existing "broken" member-type, it's not gone, but because one of its data-types is missing, it wont display properly in the back-office UI (throwing YSoD!) It is fixable in the database, but that's a job far beyond a forum post reply. Best bet is to delete the member-type and recreate it (if you know what all the properties are/were).
Create a member problem
Here is a code segment:
---------
MemberType demoMemberType = new MemberType(1222);
Member newMember = Member.MakeNew("John Smith", demoMemberType, new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User (0));
newMember.Email =
[email protected];
newMember.Password =
"password";
newMember.LoginName =
"jsmith";
newMember.getProperty(
"address").Value = "123 Main Street";
newMember.getProperty("city").Value = "New York";
newMember.Save();
---------
As I step thru the code, it pulls the correct MemberType out (from the id), but on the Member.MakeNew line, it crashes with this error:
"The given key was not present in the dictionary."
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hey Lee,
That was it! Thanks!

Hi BK,
