Hi Euge,

Try to see our documentation about the member service, there you have the create method and others.

https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/management/services/memberservice

Or in this video on Umbraco TV

Hope this helps,

Great thanks Dennis

There doesn't appear to be anything on adding a custom property but I am thinking along the lines of

var userToSave = _umbracoHelper.MembershipHelper.CreateRegistrationModel();
        userToSave.Name = "test;
        userToSave.Email = "[email protected]";
        userToSave.Password = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
        userToSave.UsernameIsEmail = true;
       // add custom property here?  
      userToSave.MemberProperties.Add(.....

Hi Euge,

When you have a custom member type defined in Umbraco with some extra properties (eg. a property named customMemberInformation), the following code can be used (for example in your own SurfaceController):

...

        MembershipCreateStatus status;
        var member = Members.RegisterMember(model, out status, model.LoginOnSuccess);

        // Handle custom fields
        var memberService = Services.MemberService;
        var customMember = memberService.GetByEmail(member.Email);
        customMember.SetValue("customMemberInformation", "My custom member information");
        memberService.Save(customMember);

...

In this simplified example I store the text "My custom member information" in the custom field and save the data using the MemberService.

Does this help you move ahead?

I stumbled on an answer for this here https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/106096-add-property-to-media-type-programatically

To create a custom property for a member you have to add it to the member type, by creating a new property type based on an existing data type. This makes sense if you think of how it works in the backoffice.

See below, get the 'Label (string)' data type, and create a new PropertyType from it (there are a few overloads when creating, but you need to make sure Name and Alias are set, which none of them do). Then you assign it to the member type and save. Saving the member type has the knock of effect of creating the property type.

var memberType = _memberTypeService.Get("Member");

if (!memberType.PropertyTypeExists(propertyAlias)) {
    var dataType = _dataTypeService.GetDataType("Label (string)");
    var newProp = new PropertyType(dataType); //object needs to be saved    
    newProp.Name = propertyName;
    newProp.Alias = propertyAlias;

    bool success = memberType.AddPropertyType(newProp, propertyGroupName);
    _memberTypeService.Save(memberType);
}

Then you need to re-get the member before setting the new property type.

See below a full example:

//get the member and member type
var memberType = _memberTypeService.Get("Member");
var currentMember = _memberService.GetByEmail("[email protected]");

//setup some properties
string propertyGroupName = "Test Group";
string propertyName = "Test Property";
string propertyAlias = "testProperty";

//create the property group if it doesn't exist
if (!memberType.PropertyGroups.Any(pg => pg.Name == propertyGroupName))
{
    bool success = memberType.AddPropertyGroup(propertyGroupName);
    _memberTypeService.Save(memberType);
}

//create the property if it doesn't exist
if (!memberType.PropertyTypeExists(propertyAlias))
{
    var dataType = _dataTypeService.GetDataType("Label (string)");
    var newProp = new PropertyType(dataType); //object needs to be saved    
    newProp.Name = propertyName;
    newProp.Alias = propertyAlias;

    bool success = memberType.AddPropertyType(newProp, propertyGroupName);
    _memberTypeService.Save(memberType);
}

currentMember = _memberService.GetByEmail(currentMember.Email);
currentMember.SetValue(propertyAlias, "456");

_memberService.Save(currentMember);

I used dependency injection to get the _memberTypeService and _dataTypeService.

The above works in 8.15.1
