Hi there,

I created custom usercontrols (ascx) and added them as DataTypes so I could use them as propertys in the Member Profile.

Everything works fine when the user registers or edits his profile in the page I built for that purpose, but when I save their profile in the Admin UI, when trying to add a new role to a specific user, all the profile properties are overwritten with empty values.

The controls are simply, except for one that uploads a photo using ajax without postback, but that's not the problem.

I really need the ability to add and remove roles to users, without deleting their profile properies...

I'm I doing something wrong?

Here's the code for one of the DataTypes I created. It's a dropdownlist that shows a textbox when the user selects the Other option. You can imagine the ascx... :)

        public string umbracoValue;
 
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ddlOption.SelectedValue))
                {
                    umbracoValue = ddlCountry.SelectedValue;
                    if (ddlOption.SelectedValue == "Outro")
                        umbracoValue += "%" + txtOther.Text;
                }
            }        
        }
 
        public object value
        {
            get { return umbracoValue; }
            set
            {
                if (value != null)
                {
                    string[] val = value.ToString().Split('%');
                    if (val.Length > 1)
                    {
                        umbracoValue = value.ToString();
                        ddlOption.SelectedValue = val[0];
                        txtOther.Text = val[1];
                        divOther.Style.Remove("display");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        umbracoValue = value.ToString();
                        ddlOption.SelectedValue = value.ToString();
                    }
                }
                else { umbracoValue = String.Empty; }
            }
        }
