Any update on this, or should I just use the Umbraco API directly to accomplish this requirement?

Yes, sure it is possible as following:

myMember.LoginName = "newname";

myMember.Save(); (from version 1.2) or MemberHelper.Save(myMember);

Hi Vladan thanks for posting but I am looking to change the 'Name' property of the member, not the LoginName (username).  Is there a way to change this property.  I cannot find any reference to change member name.

Hm, I see now. Using uSiteBuilder is not possible to accomplish this. You can probably use Umbraco Member API for this.

Hi,

I'm also looking for this functionalty. To be able to change the "display name".

Hi Razvan,

uSiteBuilder does not support this but I used the following:

Member umbMember = Member.GetCurrentMember();
umbMember.Text = firstname + " " + lastname;
umbMember.Save();

Member is of type umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the info. I ended up umbraco events to change the member name to the desired format.

public class Events : ApplicationBase
{
    public Events()
        {
            umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.AfterSave += new umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.SaveEventHandler(Member_AfterSave);            
    }

    void Member_AfterSave(umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.SaveEventArgs e)
    {
        var name = member.getProperty("name").Value.ToString();            
            if(Core.Helper.EmailIsValid(member.Text) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
            {
                member.Text = name;
                member.Save();
            }
    }
}

is working on a reply...
