2.1.5.5 FindUsersByEmail

This method returns a collection of users whose e-mail addresses match the specified e-mail address.

Declaration

// C#
public override MembershipUserCollection FindUsersByEmail(string emailToMatch,
   int pageIndex, int pageSize, out int totalRecords);

Parameters

  • emailToMatch

    The email address to search for.

  • pageIndex

    The index of the page of results to return. The PageIndex is zero-based.

  • pageSize

    The size of the page of results to return.

  • totalRecords

    The total number of matched users.

Return Value

Returns a MembershipUserCollection object that contains MembershipUser objects.

Exceptions

ArgumentException - One of the following conditions exists:

  • The emailToMatch parameter is an empty string or is longer than 256 characters.

  • The pageIndex parameter is less than 0.

  • The pageSize parameter is less than 1 or the page upper bound is larger than Int32.MaxValue.

ArgumentNullException - The emailToMatch, pageIndex, pageSize, or totalRecords parameter is null.

Remarks

Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from the emailToMatch parameter value. The results returned by the FindUsersByEmail method are constrained by the pageIndex and pageSize parameters. The pageSize parameter identifies the maximum number of MembershipUser objects to return in the MembershipUserCollection object. The pageIndex parameter identifies which page of results to return. Zero identifies the first page, as the value is zero-based. The totalRecords parameter is an out parameter for the total number of users that matched the emailToMatch value.

The OracleMembershipProvider class supports extensive searching by accepting the percent character (%) as a wildcard.
