asp.net user reset password control question/error!

Question

Hi I'm using the MS walk through to teach me how to build a simple ASP.Net web page I followed http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff184050.aspx to create the site and login.

and then from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/879kf95c.aspx i added the pw reset control.

the issue I have is that i create a test user i.e user name = test1 [email protected] and pw=mytest

I can login ok, I can change passwords ok however when I use the Reset Password I get the following error:

Server Error in '/Login' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.

Which is fine because the user name is not an Email address its test1!!! why is it looking for an email address?

If i enter the email address I get user not found which again is fine as there is no user [email protected] because its Users test1's email...

What am I missing here?

A sneaky second question! Can I set the create user control to require me to approve the account?

It will need an email address to send the reset password to but you mention you set this to [email protected]. Can you post more info from the error - line numbers, call stack? — PMC

Have you created the password reset page? Could you check on the Reset Password button the event handler it is associated to? — WorldIsRound

@Paul, I have set the SMTP information up, however this seems to be failing on the form validation as if the user name has to be an eamil address, if so the user creation control doesn't enforce this hence how I have a user test1... I just draged the the reset control on to a form setup the SMTP as per the steps in the second link above. — Adrian

@HeloWorld (I like your user name!) yes I have created the page. I'm not sure how these hook up as it seems it does it for you! I assume there must be a validation property I have missed as its looking for an email not a user name but I don't know where or what it is. double clicking the button just takes you to an empty method... — Adrian

Provide a valid email from address in your MailSettings.

It is essential (but a common pitfall)
