While Asp.Net provides controls that allow members to set up new accounts for themselves,
the Membership Manager Control includes a
Create Member feature that allows
Customer Service Representatives to do this from their administrative control panel.
To create a new member record, simply click the
New Member option on the
Toolbar.
As illustrated here, the Membership Manager Control simply uses the Asp.Net 2.0
CreateUserWizard to provide data entry fields and create the new member
account.
Customizing the view (design time)
The embedded
CreateUserWizard control includes a wealth of properties for customizing its appearance and behavior. If you would like to access its properties in order to tailor it for your own specific needs, you may simply convert the panel to a template and customize the
CreateUserWizard accordingly. When contained within a template, rather than as a constituent control of Membership Manager, you can handle events that are raised by the wizard.
As illustrated, the Tasks panel includes an option to select the desired view then
Convert to Template changes it to a templated panel.
Just like the Asp.Net Login Controls, templated views allow you to change the layout
and content of the panel. Interestingly, the
CreateUserWizard is itself a templated control which has various views.
If you wish to disable the ability to add members, you could simply delete or disable the
CreateUserWizard control.
If you want to discard your templated changes, just bring up the tasks menu and
click the
Reset option as illustrated below. Caution: Reset will immediately
discard any changes you have made to your custom view template. Of course, nothing
is permanent until you save the file.
