Hi As per the last message ive now got some code together and it works, im trying to let the user select there account type during registration so i can structure content dependent on the role, the problem i now have is that i have 4 roles, Administrator, Customer, Landscaper, Wholesales, Code below.

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<script runat="server">
    Protected Sub ActivateStep(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        ListBox1.DataSource = Roles.GetAllRoles()
        ListBox1.DataBind()
    End Sub
 
    Protected Sub DeActivateStep(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Roles.AddUserToRole(User.Identity.Name, ListBox1.SelectedValue)
    End Sub
</script>
 
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
    <asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1" runat="server">
        <WizardSteps>
            <asp:CreateUserWizardStep runat="server">
            </asp:CreateUserWizardStep>
            <asp:WizardStep runat="server" Title="Choose Account Type" OnActivate="ActivateStep" OnDeactivate="DeActivateStep">
                Select Account Type:<br />
                <br />
                <asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" CssClass="normaltext"></asp:ListBox>
            </asp:WizardStep>
            <asp:CompleteWizardStep runat="server">
            </asp:CompleteWizardStep>
        </WizardSteps>
    </asp:CreateUserWizard>
 
 
</asp:Content>

What is your Role's object type and could you post the code for the GetAllRoles() method.

Thanks

I decided to drop the GetAllRoles() Method, its not mine and is part of .net 2.0 and visual studio library but its really useful but i couldnt modify that, instead i added an sqldatasource for the roles table and bound this to a drop down, i then added the sql query so that it wouldnt show anything with administrator,

Just edit the section

 if (AvailableRoles.Items[i].Selected == true)
                Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard2.UserName, AvailableRoles.Items[i].Value);
 
  To THIS CODE 
If admin is selected  in place of Admin  a default local role will be added
 if (AvailableRoles.Items[i].Selected == true)
            { 
 
                if (AvailableRoles.Items[i].Text != "admin")
                {
                    Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, AvailableRoles.Items[i].Value);
                }
                else
                {
                    Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, "Member");
                }
            }
