Adding roles to the 'CreateUserWizard'

Hi (I'm pretty new to this),

Is it possible to add roles to the 'CreateUserWizard' tool so that you tick boxes (or view roles in a drop down menu) and once one or more have been chosen, this information is added to the asp.net configuration automatically?

I have the following code:

<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server" BackColor="#F7F6F3" BorderColor="#E6E2D8" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" Height="260px" Width="568px">
        <WizardSteps>
            <asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1" runat="server">
                <ContentTemplate>
                    <table border="0" style="font-size: 100%; width: 568px; font-family: Verdana; height: 260px">
                        <tr>
                            <td align="center" colspan="2" style="font-weight: bold; color: white; background-color: #5d7b9d">
                                Create a New Account</td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td align="right">
                                <asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="UserName">Username:</asp:Label></td>
                            <td>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName"
                                    ErrorMessage="User Name is required." ToolTip="User Name is required." ValidationGroup="CreateUserWizard1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td align="right">
                                <asp:Label ID="PasswordLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Password">Password:</asp:Label></td>
                            <td>
                                <asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
                                <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"

Briefly, what you need to do is to add the roles dropdown/checklist control somewhere in the <asp:CreateUserWizardStep><ContentTemplate> section.

Since the control is in a Template, you need to use the following code to find the control in the code behind:

roleDropDownList = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizard1.CreateUserStep.ContentTemplateContainer.FindControl( "RoleDropDownList" );

You'd bind it like you normally would bind a control in the Page_Init.

To add the user to the role, use the CreatedUser event of the CreateUserWizard control.

protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  Roles.AddUserToRole( CreateUserWizard1.UserName, roleDropDownList.SelectedValue );
}
