Public Overridable Property Answer As String
<asp:CreateUserWizard Answer="String" />

Property Value

Type: System.String
The end user's answer to the password recovery confirmation question. The default value is an empty string ("").

The membership provider specified in the MembershipProvider property will determine whether the question and answer text boxes are displayed at run time.

If an answer is required by the membership provider specified in the MembershipProvider property, then the answer text box will appear on the CreateUserWizard control. Each text box displayed on the CreateUserWizard control has a RequiredFieldValidator object associated with it.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and ASP.NET Globalization and Localization.

The following code example modifies the e-mail message in the SendingMail event to include the user's password recovery confirmation answer in the message that is sent to new users.
