Getting A Username From A UserID (guid) In Web Forms?
Mar 26, 2011
So I'm almost finished my project but I'm stuck. In my application's database I save some records that contain the currently logged in user's userID - and so when it comes to displaying these records, I've been just been outputting the userID whilst developing the rest of the application. Through googling I've found this line of code that will get the a username based on a userID:
Dim membershipUser As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser(New Guid(userGUID))
Which works great if I can supply it with a GUID - but I'm struggling to see how I can use this line of code if for example I want to show the usernames for comments on an article which are contained in a repeater control.Maybe it would be simpler to just merge my application's database with the asp.net membership database (ASPNETDB.mdf) so I can just select the username in SQL instead - but I'm not even sure how to do that.

I'm creating a web project for one of my uni modules using Visual studio 2010. I'm using asp.net membership and have all of my sql-server tables set up correctly (I'm pretty sure).
I have a form that I have created myself that inserts into the database using sqlDataSource.insert(). I had some problems initially with not being able to insert any data into the table at all, but I have cleared that up.
My problem now is that I need to insert the currently logged in user's userID into one of the columns of the table. But every time I hit the submit button, I am told I cannot insert null values in the userID column.
I can retrieve the userID using this snippet:
[Code]....
This is the code behind for the page:
[Code]....
As you can see it is a bit of a mess, I've been frantically trying different variations, as I need to catch up a little with other uni modules.
Here is my SQLDataSource from the .aspx page, The controlparameters work fine for the other data I am inserting. maybe the <asp:parameter name="userID" /> is wrong?
[Code]....
I'm relatively new to vb, and I come from a html & css background.

We have a system where an administrator can login and create other users. If the administrator creates another user, then logs out and immediately logs back in with the new user information the UserID Guid is not available. If you log out and login again with the new username it works, or if you simply refresh the page it works.
Why does it not work on the first run?

I have followed this tutorial which provides me with Membership, Role, Profile etc.

Everything is working fine, but I noticed that the userid is in standard INT, not GUID. Is it possible to get around this? I want the userid as GUID.

I'm trying to insert userid that is a System.Guid into an additional table into the same userid field that is uniqueidentifier. It seems as it cannot insert the System.Guid type there wether I'm passing it directly as the System.Guid or as a String then converting.
<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute _
(System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Insert, True)> _
Public Function InsertUserInterests( _
ByVal strUserId As String, ByVal strCode As String) _
As Boolean
Dim userInter As New DS1.tblUserInterestsDataTable
Dim userInterRow As DS1.tblUserInterestsRow = userInter.NewtblUserInterestsRow
Dim ug As System.Guid = New Guid(strUserId)
userInterRow.UserId = ug ' This didn't go through I beleive
userInterRow.InterestCode = strCode
userInter.AddtblUserInterestsRow(userInterRow)
Dim rowsAffected As Integer = Adapter.Update(userInter)
Return rowsAffected = 1
End Function

I want to assign Guid to UserId of my UserDTO if UserId is Null. Is it possible to do this in the CreateMap or creating any formatter?. I am using automapper as an attribute on my Actions in controller.
protected override void Configure()
{
Mapper.CreateMap<User, UserDTO>()
.ForMember(d => d.FullName, o => o.MapFrom(s => s.FirstName + " " + s.LastName));
}

I am setting up membership and rolls for a small forum site that im working on. All this info is stored in the standard aspnetdb database. When a user is logged in and saves a post to the forum, their UserId is saved to a database in unique identifier format such as: b40e346d-0399-4bbb-90ee-c7c440726cfd. I want to set up a web service so that the name of the author of each post can be clicked on to retieve details about him or her. Rather than passing along the UserId of the author to the web service, I want to pass along the UserName and use that to retrieve the user's Id, which will in turn be used to query the database. I cant seem to find info on how to do this. I can find how to retrieve this kind of info for the current logged in user, but not any or all users in general.

I have seen a lot of question asking about known user name and how to retrieve UserId accordingly. How about the other way around?
For some reason I have UserId, but I don't want to include aspnet_User table into my data entities. Is there any way I can retrieve the user name without querying against aspnet_User table?

I have a confusing question, I have a user table and it stores all the usual data for a user that you would expect but im trying to figure out how a user could add another user?
Sounds strange but each user in the User table has his own UI which is UserID how could I add another table where UserID can have a relationship with another UserID?
i.e how would I right the syntax for the above question if I wanted to display all the UserIDs friends on a page. How would I add a friend.

I am still new to ASP.net and it has been some time since i worked with code in general, so please forgive me for sounding stupid. I am using SQL to populate several drop down lists in a form, and later using the values selected to populate a datagrid. My issue is that the value i am trying to assign is a GUID in the database. So when I:
Do While (reader.Read())
Dim newListItem
As
New ListItem()Loop
newListItem.Value = reader.GetGuid(0)
newListItem.Text = reader.GetString(1)
Stat.Items.Add(newListItem)
I get an error stating :"Value of type 'System.Guid' cannot be converted to 'String'". My solution to this was to change "newListItem.Value = reader.GetGuid(0)" to
newListItem.Value = reader.GetGuid(0).ToString
that worked to generate the drop downs which was great, but now i am trying to use that value in a sql statement to populate a listbox and since the value is now a string, i cannot use it in my where clause to against a GUID field in the database. I would prefer to not have to convert the GUID in the first place, but have no idea how i could keep it in that format for my drop down list, and if that is not possible how can i convert the data back to GUID from String?
