I'm creating members manually using the api.

But I've noticed that I'm unable to set the Text Name of a member.

I can set the LoginName and Email no problems.

Is the "Name" field you see on the member properties page an actual settable field? or is it just a repeat of LoginName ?

//create a member
System.Web.Security.Membership.CreateUser(member_emailname.Trim(), password, member_emailname.Trim());
System.Web.Security.Roles.AddUserToRole(member_emailname.Trim(), foldername);
var member = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(member_emailname.Trim());
Member m = Member.GetMemberFromLoginName(member_emailname.Trim());

//set a property value on the member
m.LoginName = member_emailname.Trim();
m.SetProperty("Name", member_name); // Doesn't seem to work
m.SetProperty("Text", member_name); // Doesn't seem to work
 m.Save();
