MembershipCreateStatus - An unknown error occurred

[christianbg]

How can i determine what the error is when none of the enumeration errors have been selected. this is my switch statement

switch (localStatus)
{
case MembershipCreateStatus.Success:
lblCreateUserStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "The user account was successfully created!";
//have to create user in CMM customer object also
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName:
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There already exists a user with this username.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail:
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There already exists a user with this email address.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidEmail:
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There email address you provided in invalid.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidAnswer:
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There security answer was invalid.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidPassword:
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "The password you provided is invalid. It must be seven characters long and have at least one non-alphanumeric character.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.ProviderError:
lblCreateUserStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There was a provider error; the user account was NOT created.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidProviderUserKey:
lblCreateUserStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There was a provider User Key error; the user account was NOT created.";
break;
case MembershipCreateStatus.InvalidUserName:
lblCreateUserStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "The username is invalid.";
break;
default:
lblCreateUserStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
lblCreateUserStatus.Text = "There was an unknown error; the user account was NOT created.";
break;
}



the default is always chosen is there a way to debug what error is really happening?

I would wrap the call to CreateUser in a try...catch block and see what the exception says.
