Membership.GetUser() using Guid

Question

I found the Membership.GetUser() but it doesn't seem like it supports retriving user information by the UserId Guid. Does anyone have a nice and clean way of doing this?

public MembershipUser User { // get...;set...;}

my code is fail here...

User = Membership.GetUser(dr.GetValue(dr.GetOrdinal("Id"))); //fail

error message: specified method is not supported

Answer 1

• Guid.Parse() and Guid.TryParse() are only available in .NET 4.
• You cannot cast a string (guessing that's what's returned from dr.GetValue() to a Guid

So try this instead:

MembershipUser m = Membership.GetUser(new Guid(
  dr.GetValue(dr.GetOrdinal("Id"))
));
