Deleting a user error - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Hello everyone

I just wish to delete a user from Sitefinity and I am encountering the following error:

No data provider decorator could be found for the provider 'DynamicModule.ns.Wrapped_ValpakRoleDataProvider_ea66db37a0c74552869fecc7fd948a0b'. The method 'GetDirtyItems()' has to be overridden and implemented.

How would I go about deleting a user and/or implementing the GetDirtyItems() method?

Apologies if I'm being thick.

Hello Richard,

There is no need to apologize, we know that Sitefinity's learning curve can be steep. In general you do not need to use the GetDirtyItems method in order to delete a user. All you need to do is to get the user by a certain identifier, say Name, and then execute the Delete statement of our UserManager. The code below shows you just that:

public static void DeleteUser(string username)

UserManager userManager = UserManager.GetManager();

UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

User user = userManager.GetUsers().Where(u => u.UserName == username).SingleOrDefault();

if (user != null)

SitefinityProfile userProfile = profileManager.GetUserProfile<SitefinityProfile>(user);

if (userProfile != null)

profileManager.Delete(userProfile);

userManager.Delete(user);

profileManager.SaveChanges();

userManager.SaveChanges();

You can get a clear idea of how to Query users in our Documentation.
