MemberProperties returning only properties with memberCanEdit = true
Hi all. I have a question regarding the ProfileModel in Umbraco 7.1.8

I have created a number of custom properties on the default membertype, some are set as editable by the user, some are not. I want to manipulate all of these properties in backend code, but it turns out that the profileModel.MemberProperties only contains properties that have memberCanEdit = true.

How can I access the other properties in backend?

My way of getting the properties:
```
var membershipHelper = new Umbraco.Web.Security.MembershipHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
var pm = membershipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();
List<Umbraco.Web.Models.UmbracoProperty> properties = pm.MemberProperties;
```

Hi Martin,

I think you'll need to use the member service for that. This code is just from memory so it'll probably need tweaking, but something like this should do the trick:

// Instantiate member service and membership helper
var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
var membershipHelper = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext);

// Get profile model of current member
var profileModel = membershipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel();

// Get username of current member
var username = profileModel.UserName;

// Use member service to get current member object by username (could do it from email and/or id too I think...)
var currentMember = memberService.GetByUsername(username);

// Update custom member properties
currentMember.SetValue("yourCustomProperty", "Some value");

// Save updated member
memberService.Save(currentMember);

Hope this helps.

Hi Dan. Almost there I think, but as I'm coding a usercontrol, I don't think I have the ApplicationContext available?

So how do I instantiate a MemberService object? Will the following work? (Seems a bit far fetched, and not at my laptop so can't try it out right now)
```
var ms = new MemberService( new RepositoryFactory(), new MemberGroupService( new RepositoryFactory()) );
```
Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

You should be able to instantiate the member service outside of the `ApplicationContext` like this:
```
using Umbraco.Core;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;

var memberService = Services.MemberService;
```
There's stuff in the documentation about this actually - http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService.

Hmm, my approach above did indeed work, so I guess I can stick with that. I can't get your last approach to work, as I get the following error when I try to assign to the variable as you do above. (I am writing a .net usercontrol, and have included the umbraco libraries).
```
'Umbraco.Core.Services.MemberService' is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context.

Hey, Martin.

Have you try using MemberType, it has possibilities to iterate the properties?

var mHelper = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
    // "Member" is alias of default MemberType
    var memberType = mHelper.GetMembersByMemberType("Member").FirstOrDefault();
    if (memberType != null)
    {
        foreach (var mProperty in memberType.Properties)
        {
            @mProperty.Alias
        }
    }

Hi all.
I got it to work doing the following. Dan let me in the right direction. I still can't figure out if I get the MemberService instance in the right way, but it works.

var memberService = newMemberService(new Umbraco.Core.Persistence.RepositoryFactory(), newMemberGroupService(new Umbraco.Core.Persistence.RepositoryFactory()));
var memberShipHelper = newMembershipHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
var currentMember = memberService.GetByUsername(memberShipHelper.GetCurrentMemberProfileModel().UserName);
var properties = currentMember.Properties;

This way I can use a LINQ query on the PropertyCollection 'properties' to find whichever custom property I need, using it's value or whatever parameter I like.
Modifying values, you must use the method Dan described above, using

// Update custom member properties
currentMember.SetValue("yourCustomProperty","Some value");

// Save updated member
memberService.Save(currentMember);

Excellent, glad you got it sorted Martin :)

As a complete aside, this article from yesterday's Umbraco advent calendar is a really nice reference for real-world membership integration: http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/dealing-with-members/.
