In my Umbraco installation I need to send a email when a new user is created. For that i'm using the Umbraco Events.

I have the following code:

protected override void ApplicationStarting(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
 {
      //Events
      MemberService.Saved += MemberService_Saved;
      MemberService.Created += MemberService_Created; 
}

Saved:

private void MemberService_Saved(IMemberService sender, SaveEventArgs<IMember> e)
        {
            foreach(var entity in e.SavedEntities)
            {
                if(HttpContext.Current.Items["member-" + entity.Id] != null)
                {
                    TaskLogic.NewUser(entity.Id); // send new user email
                    HttpContext.Current.Items["member-" + entity.Id] = null;
                }
            }
        }

Created:

private void MemberService_Created(IMemberService sender, Umbraco.Core.Events.NewEventArgs<Umbraco.Core.Models.IMember> e)
        {
            if(e.Entity.Id != 0)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Items["member-" + e.Entity.Id] = true;
            }
        }

The TaskLogic class (moved this outside the Umbraco evens for testing, when calling this from a controller it works):

public static void NewUser(int userId)
        {
            if (userId != 0)
            {
                // set key for new user so the user can create it's own password afterwards 
                var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
                var member = memberService.GetById(userId);
                if (member != null)
                {
                    var randomGuid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
                    member.SetValue("passwordKey", randomGuid);
                    memberService.Save(member, false);
                }
            }
        }

When saving the member in the backoffice the right events are triggered.

What is the correct way because my events got fired the way i was expecting but the setvalue didn't fire.
