    Default Difference between CreatecCustomer and CreateAccount event handler...

    Does anyone know the difference between when CreateCustomer and CreateAccount are fired by the event handler?

    Since there are events for UpdateCustomer, DeleteCustomer and NukeCustomer I'm kind of assuming that I want to set up the event handler to be fired whenever a new login is created in the system using CreateCustomer, right?

    I did some searches through the source code over the weekend and couldn't find any instances where CreateAccount is even called.

    I did find CreateCustomer event but it appears to only be called at the end of the MakeAnonCustomerRecord() method.

    So, from that I can only assume that I'll REALLY be wanting to use the UpdateCustomer event.

    Anyone have any other thoughts on this subject?

    The CreateCustomer event is triggered whenever a new customer ID has been generated. While the CreateAccount is triggered whenever a customer account is created.

    So, CreateAccount is triggered when an anonymous customer is converted into a full-customer account?

    Funny that doing a search through the source code I was unable to find where CreateAccount was ever called as an EventHandler... Do you know which methods it is called from?

    That's in createaccount.aspx.cs, in the CreateAccount method. Line 662 by default in 8.0.1.2

    For "CreateCustomer", the parameter "CreatedCustomerID" is returned..
    However, for "CreateAccount", no ID parameter is returned..

    Wouldn't it create a problem?

    It seems messages about eventhandling are ignored nowadays..
