This is my code to add user directly. The membership section works, but AddUser returns this error :

 

 An exception occurred creating the user. The type initializer for 'DSC' threw an exception. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotShoppingCart.Commercial.Base.Constant.DSC..cctor()

 

 

MembershipCreateStatus status;

            try
            {
                MembershipUser m = Membership.CreateUser(nU.UserName, nU.PassWord , nU.Email , "The greatest band ever?", "none", true, out status);
                if (m == null)
                {

                    errorMsg += GetErrorMessage(status) + Environment.NewLine;
                    Error.Msg = errorMsg;
                    return (0);
                }
                else
                {
                    errorMsg += "User " + nU.UserName + " added " + Environment.NewLine;

                   DSC.User.AddUser(nU.UserName, nU.NewsLetter , CoreHelper.GetReferralId(), nU.FirstName,
                                 nU.LastName, nU.CompanyName, nU.Address, nU.Address2, nU.City, nU.State,
                                 nU.Zipcode,  nU.CountryId , nU.Phone , nU.PhoneExt  , nU.Created, false );

                  string roleName = HttpContext.Current.Session["registerRole"] as string;
                  if ((!string.IsNullOrEmpty(roleName)) && (roleName != Constant.Security.AdminRole))
                  {
                      Roles.AddUserToRole(nU.UserName, roleName);
                  }
               
                    return (1);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                errorMsg += "An exception occurred creating the user." + Environment.NewLine + "\n\r" + e.Message +  "\n\r" + e.InnerException ;
                Error.Msg = errorMsg;
                return (0);
            }
        }
