MVC :: Customising The User Table To Add Functionality?
Aug 11, 2010
I wanted to add a field called "Account" to the User table (default Membership user system provided in ASP.NET) and this field would store a certain value, perhaps the shortname of a country (ie. "AU" or "NZ").I could then use this attribute to decide which rows of a particular database table to display to that user (based on the "Account" value in the displayed table linked with the "Account" value in the User table).
How can I modify that table without causing damage? Or is there a better way to do this?
I want to check if a user in User table is found either in UserName Column or in FriendUserName Column in UserFollow table and if yes display lable found, But if no display lable notfound. This code will be excuted onse a user logs in the connection code
I want to use forms authentication on my ASP.NET MVC site. All I need is a place for users to login, a page to add a user, and a page to edit a user. I'm using all the default ASP.NET forms authentication tables for SQL Server (aspnet_Profile, aspnet_Roles, aspnet_Users, etc.). The only difference is that I've added an Employees table to my database, which contains a FK to aspnet_Users to create a one-to-one relationship. The Employees table contains columns for FirstName, LastName, StartDate, etc. It's a way for me to keep additional information for the users.
I'm having trouble finding any sort of tutorial that would help me build a basic page in MVC, everything I find is for WebForms. For my page to add a user, I'd like there to be fields for the Employees table. I don't know if I can modify the CreateUserWizard to add those fields, or if I'd be better off just creating my own custom page.
can one web user control gives two different functionality on two different web pages,suppose i use web user control on web form 1 and also web form 2 , but i want some more work from this control on web form1 but this more work not affect on web form 2. for example: button click event of web user control gives me Good Morning message on screen, when i use this control on web form 1 and web form 2 ,it will give me Good morning message on screen,when i click this button, But i want that ,this control give me Good Morning message and some other messages like good after noon on web form 1 only, one control but different functionalty on two different pages
i want to add the functionality of adding profile images for each user, which i found are based on just uploading images to the web application but without linking these images to the login user.
We have an ASP.NET Web App, where we want to provide a link 'Sign in as a different user' on a page. Authentication mode is Windows. Went through a couple of articles (like setting the statuscode =401). We want to authenticate the user, and then redirect him to a specific page (say 'ReviewTask.aspx');
I am trying to add some client side functionality to a user control that I have written.
A really simplified version of my scenario is as follows:
I have a control called MyControl. This has a javascript method called doSomething that simply shows the current date and time in an alert box.I add an instance of MyControl to a page called WebForm1. I want to be able to call myControl1.doSomething when a regular (non ASP.NET) button on WebForm1 is pressed.
I'm sure this is really simple but I can't for the life of me figure out what I need to do make doSomething available.
i currently develop an asp.net mvc 2 web app using asp.net membership and role management for authenticating and authorizing my users. I get complaints though that when adding a role to some user, he is not able to see new role assigned functionality, unless he re-enters (logout and login again) the application.
I have an asp.net database which has users table. In this table password is saved as sncrypted. Now, I am creating my own users table. I want to copy user's data from my old table t this table. I can to decrypt old users table password. Which encryption technique is used by default in aspnet database for passwords.
Our application lets the administrator create new users. Since the administrator is logged in, I have set Logincreateduser = false so that the administrator is not logged out even after creating the new user.
The problem is :I need the userid of the newly created user to store additional details of the user in another database table. I see that i can get the username using Createuserwizard1.username; but how do I get the userID?
I am using profiles to store extra information about users. The thing that I want is that I am changing user name. But on the other side I have photo album gallery where I have stored the User name (Creator of album). These two tables (aspnet_Profiles and PhotoAlbum) are in different databases.
I have tried the following code while changing the user name
Private con As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("Photo").ConnectionString) Dim updateSql As String = "UPDATE PhotoAlbum SET UserName = @UserName WHERE UserName = " & userName.Text con.Open() Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(updateSql, con) myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserName", newUsername) myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() con.Close()
Here newUserName is the new user name field and UserName is the previous name stored in PhotoAlbum table.
But it does not seems to work.On debugging it reports Invalid Column Name "userName"
When creating a foreign key to the membership user table, is it better to refer to the user_id column or is it ok to use the username column? I assume that the Membership spec enforces uniqueness in the username since there is a method Membership.GetUser(username) that returns one user. Using the id is a bit awkward in code because I have to end up casting all over the place like (int)user.ProviderUserKey. The username would give more information quickly when viewing raw data as well. Just wondering if someone knows a reason why I shouldn't use it as the foreign key.
I am retrieving user data from aspnet_user table from aspnetdb database but I also want to retrieve data (such as first name, last name, email, address etc) from aspnet_profile table. I am using dropdownlist which retrieves user names from the aspnet_user table.
I want to put up a table with a couple columns, and have the user select a row. This will all be from code; not through a DataConnection. GridView seems like it wants to deal with bound controls. What control should I use? ListView doesn't do columns. A table doesn't seem to allow selection. Specifically, what I'm doing is letting the user find a person in active directory. They'll enter the name, and I'm going to present a list of the Active Directory matched results that they can choose from. Is there already some built in control or package that will do this?
ASP.NET MVC Can I use an extra table to store user profile? And how to do that?Something I've done here:I have a database table has userId name, email, password stuff.I want to use all the information in this table for user authentication, and also for user profile. How can I do that in Asp.net Mvc2 project
I'm using SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRoleProvider for user management.
Users are created by
Dim MCS As System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus Dim NewUser As MembershipUser = Membership.CreateUser(TB_UserName.Text, TB_Pw.Text, TB_Email.Text, TB_SecQuestion.Text, TB_SecAnswer.Text, False, MCS) later, after email confirmation, I take the user into a specified role Dim myUser As System.Web.Security.MembershipUser = Nothing myUser = Membership.GetUser(New Guid(Request("RegID")))Catch If myUser IsNot Nothing Then myUser.Comment += " approved " Membership.UpdateUser(myUser) Roles.AddUserToRole(myUser.UserName, "role") End if
After this I have two entries with the same UserName in aspnet_Users table, but with different UserId's. One UserId is referenced in aspnet_Membership table and the other in the aspnet_UsersInRoles table.
I have a TextBox entry field where the user will enter a integer value. And then there is a "Create" button, which when clicked upon must generate a Table with 2 columns :
"Name" and "Email" being the column headers.
I want each row to have a textbox in each of these columns.
All of this has to happen after the button is clicked. I have discovered that if you dynamically add a control in ASP.NET(I am using C#) then the controls are lost during postback. And I don't know how to prevent that from happening.
Can somebody give me some ideas regarding how to go about adding rows dynamically to a table (I tried using the asp.net Server side table control but ran into the "lost-during-postback" problem - can I try with something else like a gridview ? but afaik a GV will not work without data bound to it )
Point to note is that my table has textboxes for user entry and it is not for showing data ..rather it is for accepting data from the user which will be later used to persist details to the database.
I am working with asp.net 2.0 and sql server 2005. so trying to describe it below:
THE SITUATION
I have a few tables to hold data for billing information. The first table has each dedicated to each location, and a serial number that can be incremented. The concept is to update this data based on location, every time there is a new bill, so may be location A has serial 25 since it is doing well but location B has serial 5.
THE PROBLEM
SO based on this requirement I need to update a table to get the latest serial for a particular location and then use that serial for other tables which will be holding the billing details. The second part is as regular as it can be, but generating a new number, and getting this value is my problem. Since this will be multi user system, so I want some robust solution. I do not know whether I can use a identity field for this purpose or not.
i m working on mvc 3.0 application and using bulting feature of membership for creating account and i have using ASPNET_REGSQL.EXE command than i have migrated table in our database but when i create any user in membership mvc user account but in database, records are not inserted of user ...
Users login to an MS Access database table called users with a password and the time logged in is also captured in the same table.If this user updates a record in another table called KTdata, I want that user's name stamped in this table.
When inserting, i would like to check if the record exists in the table, then if it doesn't, insert it, else either redirecting to a different page, or showing a message box saying "Record already exists" ...
