<%= Page.User.Identity.Name %>
or
<%= Membership.GetUser().UserName %>
What is the difference when retrieving username for the view?
<%= Page.User.Identity.Name %>
or
<%= Membership.GetUser().UserName %>
probabaly a daft question but when creating a user using .net membership, can i exclude the username and just have the email as the 'username' like this?
Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, ....
or leave blank...
Membership.CreateUser("", model.Password, model.Email, ......
I am able to change a username by directly accessing the asp.net membership user tables. However, the old username is preserved in a new row and assigned a new UserID automatically by asp.net. How do I stop that from happening?
EDIT: only in the users table and roles table, not the membership table.
var mUser = dc.aspnet_Users
.Where(u => u.UserId == (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey)
.Select(u => u).SingleOrDefault();
mUser.UserName = newName;
mUser.LoweredUserName = newName.ToLower();
try
{
dc.SubmitChanges();
}
catch
{}
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 2 tables: Users and Accounts. The Accounts table has CreatedBy, UpdatedBy fields for audit purposes.
On my UI I need to display: ABC Inc. was last modified by "John Smith" - where John Smith is the UpdatedBy ID from the user's table.
In my DataContext file I have removed all relationships. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the username for the foreign key.
I want to use email address as username in membership api instead of accepting a username.
i want that user can signup to my site using email address and he can login using email id+password instead username and password.
1. I want to use membership functionality without username/password
instead I want to use this functionality based on tracked IP's. Is it possible
Is it a good idea? I want to use my application on all famous mobile platforms and desktops mac/win
2. Is it hard (or is it good idea) to have user info stored into database for specific amount of time based on IP instead of persistent cookies? (I mean user can close browser, etc. Usually this time will be 1 hour)
I could retrieve current username, but how Could I get CurrentUserID. I ma using builtin asp.net membership provider and UserID field is UniqueIdentifier.
View 5 RepliesI have secured my website using Web.Config (authentication mode Forms)
Now I want to create an Admin area where administrator can edit the password.
But how do I retreave password from Web.Config?
Want the password to be displayed in TextBox.
Have found this:
[Code]....
Once the user has authenticated, I would like to base all of the information displayed to the user based on their username. Isn't that saved in the cookie?
For instance, I would like to pull all of their client information using a GridView and have the parameter set to the appropriate authentication information.
How to get the username and password of the user in ASPNETDB. I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.
I have configured the membership provider. I want to retrieve the username and password from the aspnet db?
How do I retrieve the UserName for a logged in user? Membership.GetUser().UserName doesn't work for me - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I need it to get the associated UserID which my own db tables use as primary keyFurthermore, as I am a rookie is the best approach to achieve this through LoggedIn as below?

I'm using Membership but allow to change UserName of specified user. I had user named Customer bound to role Customer, and then his username was changed to 123. Then i try to do something to get Roles of this user and get an error or empty result.
View 2 RepliesI have an Employee class in my App_Code folder. On my login page I am trying to create an Employee using the asp.net username as a parameter in my Employee constructor.
I have tried creating the employee in the page load event when it is a post back. I have tried doing it in the Login1_LoggedIn event. For some reason I cannot pull the username in either one of these places, but if I redirect after logging in and do the same thing on another page, it works.
How can I get it done on the login page?

I need to get know how SiteMapProvider.IsAccessibleToUser() works. Built-in XmlSiteMapProvider calls HttpContext.User.IsInRole() which uses System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal in case of forms authentication.
Where does the current user gets its roles? Which provider loads this kind of information? I want to overload it and use custom logic.
I would like my website to fetch the data for username and password from a database in SQL server and authenticate that. I have used a login control in the website.

When I click the "delete" linkbutton, it can delete the all User info from my "UserDetail" table in my "JobPost.mdf", it also delete the corresponding "aspnet_Users" & "aspnet_Membership",but the "UserInRole" still contain that UserName. Even though I specified the Code:Membership.DeleteUser(UserName, true);
I thought true is for bool deleteallrelated data, but it doesn't really delete the userInRole. So next time the user registers with the same name, it automatically get the "admin" role right. This "deleteUser" page I keep it inside a protected "admin"folder. How to solve it? Why Membership.DeleteUser(UserName, true) doesn't delete UserInRole?

var query = from u in db.UserDetails
where u.UserName == UserName
select u;
foreach (var item in query)

I have an ASP.NET VB website in which I am using the Membership functionality to authenticate users. I am doing this through the Login control on the HTML page. I have working that it will authenticate the user and then opens a welcome screen in which I have a button they can push to open a Reports.aspx page. On that page I have a dropdown box that is being populated from a datasource connection query to my SQL Server database table. It is a hard coded query but want it to query the table off the username text value that the user provided on the login (i.e. select <something> from inventory where username = <username>). I have not behind code but only HTML at this point. Here it is ...

I recently got a form to work with the "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString" String. That basic idea was I needed a hidden form field so that each record submitted would include the UserName of the user logged in to the membership. However, whenever I try to create a custom query for the gridview, it doesn't submit. how I would go about doing this? Code as below:

When I first implemented forms authentication I consulted an article that told me to store the user's custom IPrincipal object in the cache. Is this wrong? Should I have stored it in the session?
