i have created a custom usercontrol for member registration, however one of the requirements is that a member should be able to upload a profile picture of them self's.
i have managed to create all the custom properties for the users data, but cant figure out how in the world one would go about letting a user select a image from their computer and getting it saved into the media folder and linked to that user.
I'm sure there's a multitude of solutions available, here's one of many
- use asp.net upload to handle the file upload
- create media item programmatically using the uploaded image
- make sure there's a property on the member type of type media picker
- set media picker property's value to the id of the media item just created in step 2
this post is pretty outdated and after few years I'm wondering the same. So, my question, is the process of adding a profile image to a member still the same?
