Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function FindUsersByName ( _
usernameToMatch As String _
) As MembershipUserCollection
Dim usernameToMatch As String
Dim returnValue As MembershipUserCollection
returnValue = Membership.FindUsersByName(usernameToMatch)
public static MembershipUserCollection FindUsersByName(
string usernameToMatch
)
public:
static MembershipUserCollection^ FindUsersByName(
String^ usernameToMatch
)
public static function FindUsersByName(
usernameToMatch : String
) : MembershipUserCollection
FindUsersByName returns a list of membership users where the user name matches the supplied usernameToMatch for the configured applicationName.
The SqlMembershipProvider performs its search using a LIKE clause against the usernameToMatch parameter. Any wildcards that are supported by SQL Server in LIKE clauses can be used in the usernameToMatch parameter value.
Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from all parameter values.
The following code example uses the FindUsersByName method to retrieve membership user information from the membership database based on user input and displays the results in pages of data.
Security Note: |

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview. |
