I want to prevent the user from double registration,meaning when i'm registering the user,the system has to check if the email or phone number exist in the database. which method will i use to perform the validation? please i used peta poco and not entity framework

What I have tried:

this is the actions in the controller

public ActionResult Create()
        {
            var sexlist = new SelectList(new[] { "Male", "Female" });                        
            ViewBag.SexList = sexlist;
            return View();
        }

        
        [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Create(Member member)
        {
            AchimotaGCDb repo = new AchimotaGCDb();
            var sexlist = new SelectList(new[] { "Male", "Female" });
            ViewBag.SexList = sexlist;

            repo.Insert(member);
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

this is the class

public partial class Member : AchimotaGCDb.Record<Member>  
    {



		[Column] public int MemberId { get; set; }





		[Column] public string FirstName { get; set; }





		[Column] public string LastName { get; set; }





		[Column] public string Phone { get; set; }





		[Column] public string Sex { get; set; }



        [DataType(DataType.Date)]
        [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]           
		[Column] public DateTime? DOB { get; set; }





		[Column] public string ActivationCode { get; set; }



	}

Then try to check if the member already exists or not, something like this would work,

C#

AchimotaGCDb repo = new AchimotaGCDb();
var sexlist = new SelectList(new[] { "Male", "Female" });
ViewBag.SexList = sexlist;
 
if(repo.First(x => x.MemberId == member.MemberId) == null) {
   // No exists
   repo.Insert(member);
} else {
   // Exists
}

There are other functions available as well, such as Contains, IndexOf etc, you can try them out as well, the overall logic remains the same — you search for a member with specific details and then if the user does not exist, you add him, otherwise you return; or show an error.
