Basic Steps:

• Add CreateUserWizard Control to the aspx page (e.g.CreateUser.aspx)
• Convert it to Template by customizing the CreateUserStep
• Remove the Question TextBox control and add a dropdownList.
• Make appropriate name and validation changes
• Add CreatingUser event handler to CreatUserWizard Control

Here is the code.

Part of CreateUserWizard markup showing the Password Question Dropdownlist:

<tr>

<td align="right">

<asp:Label ID="QuestionLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="QuestionDDL">Security Question:</asp:Label></td>

<td>

<asp:DropDownList ID="QuestionDDL" runat="server" Width="155px">

</asp:DropDownList>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="QuestionRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="QuestionDDL"

ErrorMessage="Security question is required." ToolTip="Security question is required."

ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1" InitialValue="Select a Question">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

<asp:TextBox ID="Question" runat="server" Enabled="False" Visible="False"></asp:TextBox>

</td>

</tr>

The PageLoad event handler for CreateUser.aspx:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

{

//Create a questions arraylist for this sample

//In real-world you would like to get this from some data store

ArrayList pwdQuestion = new ArrayList();

 pwdQuestion.Add("Select a Question");

pwdQuestion.Add("Q1");

pwdQuestion.Add("Q2");

 pwdQuestion.Add("Q3");

//Get reference to Questions DropDownList inside CUW and bind it to the datasource

DropDownList Questionddl = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizardStep1.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("QuestionDDL");

Questionddl.DataSource = pwdQuestion;

Questionddl.DataBind();

}

}

protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatingUser(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e)

{

DropDownList Questionddl = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizardStep1.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl("QuestionDDL");

CreateUserWizard1.Question = Questionddl.SelectedValue;

}
