Examples

The following code example uses the FindUsersByEmail method to retrieve membership user information and displays the results in pages of data.

Note

This example uses the Membership class to call the SqlMembershipProvider specified as the defaultProvider in the Web.config file. If you need to access the default provider as the type SqlMembershipProvider, you can cast the Provider property of the Membership class. To access other configured providers as a specific provider type, you can access them by their configured name with the Providers property of the Membership class and cast them as the specific provider type.

Remarks

FindUsersByEmail returns a list of membership users in which the email address contains a match with the supplied emailToMatch for the configured ApplicationName.

The SqlMembershipProvider searches for a user name that matches the emailToMatch parameter value, using the LIKE clause. SQL Server wildcard characters can be included in the parameter value. For example, if the emailToMatch parameter is set to "address@example.com", then information for users with the email address "address@example.com" is returned, if it exists. If the emailToMatch parameter is set to "%@example.com", then information for users with the email address "address@example.com", "address2@example.com", "admin@example.com", and so on is returned.

The results returned by FindUsersByEmail are constrained by the pageIndex and pageSize parameters. The pageSize parameter identifies the maximum number of MembershipUser objects to return in the MembershipUserCollection. The pageIndex parameter identifies which page of results to return, where zero identifies the first page. The totalRecords parameter is an out parameter that is set to the total number of membership users for the configured applicationName. For example, if there are 13 users for the configured applicationName, and the pageIndex value was 1 with a pageSize of 5, the MembershipUserCollection returned would contain the sixth through tenth users returned. The totalRecords parameter would be set to 13.

Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from the emailToMatch parameter value.
