ChangePasswordForm design mode exception

Posted by Community Admin on 16-Jan-2011 00:00

Hi,
After creating a new project, adding a page with a Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI.ChangePasswordForm control I get a System.IndexOutOfRangeException when trying to edit the page again. When I first added the control, it had the DisplayUserName property in False, but it shows the field anyway.
I need to provide my Front end users the ability to change their passwords. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hello Pablo,

Thanks a lot for reporting this issue. To workaround the exception, you could create your own control overriding Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI.ChangePasswordForm like this:

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI;

namespace SitefinityWebApp

public class CustomChangePasswordForm : ChangePasswordForm

protected override void CreateChildControls()

base.CreateChildControls();

var changePasswordContainer = this.FindControl("ChangePasswordContainerID") as ChangePasswordContainer;

if (changePasswordContainer != null)

changePasswordContainer.UserNameTextBox.Visible = this.DisplayUserName;

var userNameLabel = changePasswordContainer.FindControl("UserNameLabel");

if(userNameLabel != null)

userNameLabel.Visible = this.DisplayUserName;

protected override object SaveViewState()

object[] objArray = new object[] null, (this.MailDefinition != null) ? ((IStateManager)this.MailDefinition).SaveViewState() : null ;

for (int i = 0; i < objArray.Length - 1; i++)

if (objArray[i] != null)

return objArray;

return null;

The problem will be fixed in the next release.

Kind regards,
