MVC :: Persisting The Country For The Logged On User?
Jun 22, 2010
I am new to ASP.NET MVC and I am using ASP.NET MVC 2. I am trying to implement the following feature and I need your expertise on this:
Authentication is Windows Authentication. Every user has at least one country associated to his/her account that he needs to manage.When a user navigates to the site we have to look up his/her associated country and persist it somehow (session?).With every call to the backend we need to pass the country as a filter. When a user has more than one country associated to his/her account, we need to display a dropdownlist on the site and the user should be able to change the "current" country at any time.
I have a couple of questions:
Where exactly in the lifecycle in the ASP.NET MVC framework should I retrieve the country or countries for the currently logged on user and where should this be persisted? In ASP.NET I would solve this by creating an intercepting filter using a HttpModule to set the Countries in the session state. What is a good way to implement this in ASP.NET MVC 2? (strongly typed session state wrapper?, magic strings?)Should I put a dropdownlist for the selection of the countries in my masterpage? How can I make sure that the current country remains selected in this dropdown?How can I make sure that with every call to the backend the country is passed, should I use an action filter?
i have one dropdownlist in the gridview. i have to load that dropdownlist when that page is loaded. dropdownlist should contain the country list from country table
In My project I have DoupDownList(ddl). In my ddl in need to bind country names along With Country Flag..So Can Any One Help Me In thi issue...Country Name And Country Flag Bouth i need to Bind in my ddl
I have a simple user control containing two text boxes which I am adding to placeholder on Button Click event. I am storing the number(count) of clicks in View state and running a loop using count to create all previously added user control. I am also adding IDs to each User control (appending "UC" and count). I have also checked in view source the ids are same each time they are created. I have another button which basically does an post back. I have EnableViewState enabled ="true" in all controlls all the way up to Page Level. My problem is that User Input does not persist on postback. Should this not be happening automatically for me?
I would like users to upload a profile picture when they register, and to then show that picture in a picture box control when they are logged in based on that specific user.
Lets suppose my application is deployed on a server located in USA. Now if any client visits my website from anywhere and from any device e.g Mobile , iPad , Surface or Laptop. Now if i want to save his local time then what should i use ?
DateTime.Now;
or
TimeZone curTimeZone = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone; var yourTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(DateTime.Now, TimeZoneInfo.Local, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(curTimeZone.StandardName));
I have four asp.net web page with masterpage where all the page is in English... now i have set four button on masterpage that are Italy,French,Germany,Spain once user will click in any button they will get all of my content should be convert to tht language..
I deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder. So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
I have the membership provider and the create user with tow steps, one of the steps contains a custom registration form, for each created user data will be in the database, and there is an account page shows the data that the new created user did insert during the registration process on the custom registration page,
the problem, when the user is created and logged into his account page, this account page shows only the information for the first created user, not the info on the logged in user , but the logged in user data still saved in database and not showing on his account page?
I have table called ROLE with fields (id,name,permission) example values (1001,madhu,hr)
I have another table called LOGIN with fields(id,DOB,password) example values(1001,24101989,madhukumar)
What i want is , if i login using the LOGIN table ,it check the id and permission in the ROLE table , if the permission is 'hr' it enable to access the menu , or if the permission is any other it just print the error message ("no permission")
Note: menu is placed in master page , but login is not in the master page ...

When I download from the above the ZIP folder has a DLL file and an XML file. Now, what do I do with these two? Like include in the project. Then what do I type in the code file?
Something like the following.
if (countryName=="France") { response.redirect("www.mysite.fr") [code]....
How do I go about it? Also do I really need to type SO many if blocks for ALL the countries. How do I shorten this code?
I would like to change the logged in user to another user temporarily to do some process.
For example, say I am logged in as "Joe". In my method, I want to make the logged in user from "Joe" to "SuperUser", do some process, then change the logged in user back to "Joe".
Our users are only only allowed to log into our site from one location at a time. If they attempt to login from a second location, how do I log them out of the first location?
I have a controller that gets data based on current user that is logged in. And I would like to assign a local variable like this:
[Code]....
Somehow I cant get the value for current user logged in. How should I fix this? I need to use that "CustomerID" in lots of places in my controllerclass.
I am using Microsoft visual basic 2010 for a asp.net site using c#.

I now there is a toolbox helper thing called Login View which does exactly what I want but as soon as I put a form inside the code won't compile because it cannot find the textbox fields.
How can I get the exact ID of a user that is logged into a site?
