Hi,

I have just upgraded a client site from v4.1 to v6. The client site allows people to subscribe to their newsletters using a custom form submission. In Kentico v4.1 they were able to set custom fields to the 'Subscriber' class object using:

sb.DataClass.SetValue(<field name>,<value>);

e.g. sb.DataClass.SetValue("SubscriberTitle", ddlTitle.SelectedItem.Text);

This is no longer possible in v6. The same (previosuly working) line of code now returns a compilation error:

CMS.DataEngine.AbstractInfo<CMS.Newsletter.Subscriber>.DataClass is inaccessible due to it's protection level.

So how do I assign custom fields to Subscriber objects in Kentico v6?

The previous working section of code is as follows:

// Get subscriber info
        Subscriber sb = SubscriberProvider.GetSubscriberByEmail(txtEmail.Text,CMSContext.CurrentSiteID);

        if (sb == null)
        {
            // Create subscriber
            if (sb == null)
            {
                sb = new Subscriber();
            }

            // E-mail
            sb.SubscriberEmail = txtEmail.Text.Trim();
            sb.SubscriberFirstName = txtFirstName.Text;
            sb.SubscriberLastName = txtLastName.Text;

            // Full name
            sb.SubscriberFullName = sb.SubscriberFirstName + " " + sb.SubscriberLastName;

            //TODO assign custom fields here
            //sb.DataClass.SetValue(<field name>,<value>);
            sb.DataClass.SetValue("SubscriberTitle", ddlTitle.SelectedItem.Text);
            sb.DataClass.SetValue("SubscriberState",ddlState.SelectedItem.Text);
            sb.DataClass.SetValue("SubscriberNewsletterType", ddlType.SelectedItem.Text);

            // Create guid
            sb.SubscriberGUID = Guid.NewGuid();

            // Site
            sb.SubscriberSiteID = CMSContext.CurrentSite.SiteID;

            // Save subscriber info
            SubscriberProvider.SetSubscriber(sb);
        }

        // Return subscriber info object
        return sb;
