We have recently changed our website configuration to make certain fields mandatory. We also set "Require valid profile for login" to True, so that existing users can fill out the missing information the next time they log in.
The problem is that when users log in, the profile update form displayed to them is totally blank. DNN does not pre-fill the form with information that the user already provided in the past. Even fields such as First Name and Last Name are empty.
Is this the expected behaviour?

No, that is not expected behavior.

I would look at the Manage Profile Properties page (it is under User Accounts) and make sure that the visibility of the various profile items permits viewing by the user.

Thanks Joe.
After a lot of digging around, I found that we had put some custom code in the profile.ascx.vb file, that was breaking this functionality for some reason. The scenario was: We had a custom profile property, whose value decided whether to add a user to a particular role. To make sure the user is added to/removed from appropriate roles whenever the user updates his profile, we needed to know what the old value of that property was. Now, in the cmdUpdate_click event, when we inspect the profile properties, they already have the new values - even before a call to
So, we put some code in the Page_Load event to store the initial profile values. When we removed the code from the Page_Load event, everything works fine.

Yikes!

I know!
