Problem with Membership.GetUser()

[Majid Shahabfar]

Hi there, I use the following codesnipet to retrieve the user information: MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser("username"); but I get this error: Specified cast is not valid. any idea?

[Lost User]

This error might occur if your aspnet_ tables have some invalid records or if you edit the aspnet tables directly without using tools like ASP.NET confuguration tool. Delete the asp_net tables and recreate them. Hope this will help you.

MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser("username"); in this the getuser is a method i think so u have to cast like the below code //CheckBox chkBxSelect = (CheckBox)e.Row.Cells[1].FindControl("chkselect");
