ASP.NET profile properties are trivially available to the code-behind of an ASPX web page courtesy of the HttpContext.Current.Profile object.
In a .svc web service, how does one bring ProfileCommon and paraphernalia into scope?
I'm all new at MVC, so how do I access the users Profile attributes which are defined in the web.config file.With WebForms I would normally do something like this:
[Code]....
[Code]....
I really can't figure out how to do it in MVC 3 Razor.Would really like to see a working example,
In asp.net (using MVC, but this happens in regular too)
Profile.GetProfile(username);
will update the LastActivityDate for that user. This is not intended when someone else is viewing that user's profile.
In the membership class you can specify whether to update this date with a second param, like so:
Membership.GetUser(username, false); // doesn't update LastActivityDate
Membership.GetUser(username, true); // updates LastActivityDate
Is there anyway to do something similar in the Profile provider without writing my own provider?
I'm having trouble accessing custom profile properties that I've declared in my web.config using the TableProfileProvider available at [URL] I set everything up according to the instructions but keep receiving an error stating "The type or namespace name 'Profile' could not be found" whenever I refer to the Profile object in my codebehind. My web.config is:
<profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="TableProfileProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<!-- below is the asp.net default provider -->
<!--<add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="WebPortalDb" applicationName="/" />-->
<add name="TableProfileProvider"
type="Microsoft.Samples.SqlTableProfileProvider"
connectionStringName="WebPortalDb"
table="_ExtendedUserProfileData"
applicationName="WebPortal" />
</providers>
<properties>
<add name="FirstName"
type="string"
defaultValue="[null]"
customProviderData="FirstName;nvarchar" />
<add name="LastName"
type="string"
defaultValue="[null]"
customProviderData="LastName;nvarchar" />
<add name="EmailAddress"
type="string"
defaultValue="[null]"
customProviderData="EmailAddress;nvarchar" />
<add name="LastUpdateDate"
type="datetime"
defaultValue="[null]"
customProviderData="LastUpdatedDate;datetime" />
</properties>
</profile>
I'm having trouble getting started with the SqlTableProfileProvider. The documentation is here:[URL]I have set up my project exactly like the whitepaper example but I can't access the Profile.SomeProfileField. When I build the project it shows that the Profile object doesn't exist in the current context. I have included the System.Web.Security and System.Web.Profile namespaces. I tried to add a reference to System.Web.Profile but can't find that DLL anywhere to add. Can anyone push me in the right direction?
View 3 Repliesi'm trying to run a conditional statement in a class i'm placing in my App_Code folderthe condition is whether the person is logged in or not. I normally have two ways to do this in my masterpage and ASPX's
if (!User.IsAuthenticated) or if(Profile.username = "anonymous")
however neither of these things seem available to me in the .cs i'm making. anyone know what i'm missing? maybe a using namespace up top?

View 1 RepliesI am having some trouble with my IIS web server & SQL reporting services.
At the current time my site is playing host to both reporting services (/reports & /reportserver) as well as my personal website (domain.com)
Only just recently have I implemented a Theme on my site and as such I have placed a statement in my web.config file directing it to apply a certain theme in the following manner:
<pages styleSheetTheme="General">
Because of this when I try to access the report pages it fails, telling me it couldn't find the Theme. So, what I did was locate the source files for the /reports & /reportserver directories and placed the App_Theme folder in them hoping that would sort everything out.
What I am getting now is the following error:
*Using themed css files requires a header control on the page. e.g. head runat="server" *
Does anyone know how I can get around this? Do I have to hack the SQL reporting aspx pages? I do NOT want to remove the web.config declaration.
writing a web Service and one of its web method, I want it to download a png file in form
of buffer from remote server. And My consume application will write that buffer retured by Web service in to file on User's Computer.
However, I am able to do this using Local Web Service but when I published that service on my web server, I always get null retuned
And even in one of my test code while copying file from that server , I always get Access Denied.
Following things I have done for above issue.
1] I even tried making the Anonymous user for the web service the system administrator (with the correct password), to no avail.
2] I also tried sharing out the folder I'm pulling files from to allow access from Everyone.
[Previously same service was working fine on another remote server with IIS 7.0, we checked server IIS Settings but in vain.]
if you know where we are mistaken guide me to resolve this issue as its very urgent.

View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2010 Release candidate1. I have to deploy my web application which consists of a website, certain window services, certain WCF services and Sql Server 2005 database.I read Vishal Joshi's blog(http://vishaljoshi.blogspot.com/2009/09/overview-post-for-web-deployment-in-vs.html) detaing Web Package in VS2010. I want to know how to deploy window services and WCF services using Web Package. Also, I want to create a web setup (.msi) for deployment instead of Web Package so that the .msi takes care of all the application and database deployment like the web package does.
View 1 RepliesWe have a cient we are stting up that has 2 separate physical servers, one that is the web server the other the database server. Using impersonation we have been able to get the website to connect and retrieve data from the sql server so that part is not an issue. The problem is I have a windows service application that must be installed on the web server (as it process files downloaded to an ftp site) and it must be able to connect and write to the sql server as well.We tried adding a system.web block with the impersonation stuff to the app.config file which of course did not work. Can anyone tell me what/how we need to configure this properly?

View 1 RepliesI'm being stupid but don't know what I'm missing.I want to use asp.net profile and have a profile property.So in the webconfig for my site I've added:
<profile>

<add name="Name"/>

</profile>
But in the code behind a page I cannot use Profile.Visual Studio is just saying the Profile is not known in the current context.Thus I cannot do
Profile.Name = ....
or
x = Profile.GetPropertyValue(....)
