    MemberService.GetByUsername does not appear in IMemberService

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 7

    When I try and use the following:

    ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.GetByUsername("username").

    I'm receiving the following error?

    Umbraco.Core.Services.IMemberService' does not contain a definition for 'GetByUsername'

    Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this.

    Thanks J

    Hi Josh

    What version of Umbraco are you using?

    Just tested in 7.7.7 and 7.8.1 - it works for me

    7.7.something..

    I know it worked for me in the same controller elsewhere so I’m a bit stumped as to what could possibly be different....

    I’ve got a registration function that this works perfectly, then in the function it just falls over!

    I’m at a bit of a lose really, so was wondering if any one could figure out where I’m being stupid..

    Another thought; should I be using the membership helper for this? I’m want to check if a member already exists before I create a new member.
