Hi,

If I understand your question correctly (you're using code to create CustomerContact whenever an user register on front-end site) , I believe when creating a CustomerContact, you can call this to clear the cache for that contact specifically:

CustomersCache.RemoveFromCache(CustomerContact.ClassName, string.Empty, "GetContactById", contactId.ToString())

before getting back the customer contact

change "GetContactById" by the method you're using.

Regards.

Hi, 

I've tried to replace my call to CustomersCache.Clear() with both of these, but it does not seem to clear the correct cache as I still receive the basic CustomerContact object without any profile information:

CustomersCache.RemoveFromCache(CustomerContact.ClassName, string.Empty, "GetContactById", contact.PrimaryKeyId.ToString())
CustomersCache.RemoveFromCache("Contact", null, null, contact.PrimaryKeyId.ToString());

Can you confirm that the contactId passed into the method should be contact.PrimaryKeyId.Value?

If you're using GetContactById then, yes - it should be a guid.

Note

"change "GetContactById" by the method you're using." 

If this does not work then I think I would need to take a look at the code you're using to create contact then get it back.

Regards.

I'm using CustomerContext.Current.CurrentContact, which as far as I can see is using the "GetContactById" method. 

I've created some example code where this problem occurs: 

     RegistrationForm registrationForm = new RegistrationForm()
            {
                Address = "Testveien 1",
                City = "Oslo",
                Email = "test@test.no",
                Alias = "Alias",
                EmailContactConsented = true,
                Password = "test123!",
                FirstName = "Testnavn",
                LastName = "TestSlutt",
                MobilePhone = "99999999",
                PostCode = "0555"
            };

            MembershipCreateStatus status;
            MembershipUser user = Membership.CreateUser(registrationForm.Email, registrationForm.Password, registrationForm.Email, null, null, true, Guid.NewGuid(), out status);
            if (user == null)
                return false;

            CustomerContact customerContact = CustomerContact.CreateInstance(user);
            customerContact = customerContact.SaveChanges();

            SecurityContext.Current.AssignUserToGlobalRole(user, AppRoles.EveryoneRole);
            SecurityContext.Current.AssignUserToGlobalRole(user, AppRoles.RegisteredRole);

            customerContact.FullName = string.Join(" ", registrationForm.FirstName, registrationForm.LastName);
            customerContact.FirstName = registrationForm.FirstName;
            customerContact.LastName = registrationForm.LastName;
            customerContact.Email = registrationForm.Email;
            customerContact[Constants.Metadata.Customer.MobilePhone] = registrationForm.MobilePhone;
            customerContact[Constants.Metadata.Customer.EmailContactConsented] = registrationForm.EmailContactConsented;
            customerContact[Constants.Metadata.Customer.Alias] = registrationForm.Alias;
            customerContact.RegistrationSource = "Test";
            customerContact.CustomerGroup = "Customer";
            customerContact = customerContact.SaveChanges();

            bool valid = Membership.ValidateUser(registrationForm.Email, registrationForm.Password);
            if (valid)
                membershipService.CreateAuthenticationCookie(user.UserName, false);

            // If I uncomment the following line, it works...
            //CustomersCache.Clear(); 

As mentioned above, calling CustomerContext.Current.CurrentContact after running this code gives me a CustomerContact object containing only the email and firstname (which is set to the email address).

Because you're using CurrentContact, it'll be a bit different. CurrentContact is cached by the MembershipUser.ProviderUserKey  instead of contactId :)

You are right, I had to use the MembershipUser.ProviderUserKey: 

MapUserKey mapUserKey = new MapUserKey();
string uniqueSuffix = mapUserKey.ToTypedString(user.ProviderUserKey);

CustomersCache.RemoveFromCache("Contact", string.Empty, "GetContactById", uniqueSuffix);

Thank you so much for you help! 

Karolines solution didn't do it for me but this code did:

var key = CustomersCache.CreateCacheKey("Contact", string.Empty, "GetContactById", "String:" + username);
HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove(key);

sorry about the spam but i something clearly went wrong with the site when i posted my last reply...
