Error approving membership user

[John]

Hi

I am trying to approve a user as below;

Dim User As MembershipUser
User = Membership.GetU ser("MyUsername ")
User.IsApproved = False

I am getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
error on the last line. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

Re: Error approving membership user

User = Membership.GetU ser("MyUsername ")

You are sure that this gives a user back?

If GetUser() is returning null, then there was probably no user found with
the specified username.
