Does an asp.net website developed locally with VWD 2010 and SQL Express need an SQL server on the the remote webserver or does asp.net have sufficient functionality to handle the SQL connection & requests? In particular I am using the membership features of asp.net to log users in and out.
View 3 RepliesI'm running IIS7 ( in integrated mode ) and Net. 4.0 framework on Windows 7.
a) If web application runs within Asp.Net v4.0 pool, then both Net Users and Net Roles features are not available.
b) I assume Asp.Net 4.0 apps can only run within Asp.Net v4.0 pools?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to code a user admin page, but the Membership API doesn't allow much in terms of direct updates to e.g. password question.
View 1 RepliesI have a database of users that we used to have on a different system. The users already have their username and passwords associated with.
Now we are switching the entire system to .Net , and we will be using the membership to authenticate the users and start creating the new users with the wizard.
My question is : how could we import the users from a different database (mysql) , to the membership database on MS SQL ?
And also the passwords on the mysql database are in clear text , when we import them to the membership database on ms sql , is it going to apply the hash on them ?
I created a Membership login system for my client, now they do NOT want the user to use one of his 5 last passwords when it comes time to create a new one.
Is that something that is build in or how could I accomplish that?
I had to upgrade a sites ecuroty from a custom system to .net membership. I created all the users like this.
ds = Wservices.SelectBulkUsers()
If Not ds Is Nothing AndAlso Not ds.Tables(0) Is Nothing AndAlso ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
For Each dr In ds.Tables(0).Rows
username = dr("username")
password = dr("password")
role = dr("SecurityClearance")
email = dr("email")
Dim newUser As MembershipUser = Membership.CreateUser(username, password, email, "", "", True, status)
Select Case role
Case "1"
Roles.AddUserToRole(username, "normal user")
Case "2"
Roles.AddUserToRole(username, "administrator")
Case "3"
Roles.AddUserToRole(username, "super administrator")
End Select
If newUser Is Nothing Then
errorMsg = username & " - " & status.ToString & "<br />"
End If
Next
litResult.Text = errorMsg
End If
I thought everything was fine and then went through the labourious task of replacing all the usersids used a as a foreign key in all the tables. It was only after doing this and trying to log on I couldnt, and noticed the membership table was empty. I assumed (stupidly) as it had done the users/ roles it must have done the membership. As I have already re-assigned the old user ids I dont want to import again as the userid will chnage. So my question is: Can I create a membership for each of the users in my aspnet_users table? I have the passwords etc in varchar fields at min from old table.
how can I add default users in my web.config to test my asp: login control
View 1 RepliesI currently built a custom form using VS 2005 to accommodate administrators when deleting users from the membership "aspnetdb" database.
I set the method for the objectDataSource to use "DeleteUser(String username, Boolean delete All Related Data), returns Boolean".
When I run the application and click the delete link from my gridview I receive the following error message:
"Value cannot be null. Parameter name: username"
How do I get the value for username?
I have been diligently learning all about the asp.net membership framework and have a test site running it all. However, during my testing, it became apparent that deleting users would be useful. I can delete users from the "aspnet_users" & "aspnet_Membership" tables simply by right-clicking on the table in server explorer, selecting "show table data", highlight the rows and press delete!!
However, this is a pain and I would much rather do this properly from code behind.
I have found out that the membership schema supplies a large number of "stored procedures" including "Delete_Users" however, when I execute this one manually, I have no idea what the last two parameters are (number of tables and something else from memory - the first two "application name" and "username" are easy to copy in to the dialog.
show me a sample set of VB code that I can use behind a "Delete User" button on my webform including how I supply the parameters. I have set up a drop down list box from teh "aspnet_users" table which displays the "UserName" and has as the SelectedValue "UserId".
I used [URL] as a guide and have something configured to show me the users which are logged into the system. This uses the aspnet_Users.LastActivityDate column to see when someone last did something on the system. It also uses the userIsOnlineTimeWindow within the web.config to determine whether a user is online or not.
But because of this userIsOnlineTimeWindow limitation of .NET, even when someone logs out of the system or closes their browser window, the system still sees them as being online. Also, if they are on a page and don't do anything for 10 minutes, the system will show them offline until they refresh their page or go to another page. know of a better, more real-time way to tracking users which are logged in, logged out, etc?
I don't want to wait 10 minutes for the system to show that a user is offline and also if there's 10 minutes of inactivity, it shows them being offline.
I would like to collect all the emails from all users in a certain role. How would I do this ?
View 1 RepliesHad a recent issue with my CMS and discovered today that all of my users created in the last week were deleted. The good news is that I have a backup of the DB, and that it uses standard ASP.NET Membership tables.
Is there a way to do a restore of this data without restoring the whole DB? The membership tables are something of a maze... is there an existing stored proc or utility out there? I'm not sure which tables would be required and which ones would not.
I want to send out an email to all users where their birthday is today. i am using the built-in asp.net (3.5) membership. All users have a profile (stored in aspnet_Profile) which contains a date/time property called 'birthday'. I need to get a list of users email addresses from the 'aspnet_Membership' table where a users birthday is today, along with the users 'firstname' which is string property in the aspnet_Profile table. i would like a list returned preferrably using C# LINQ. i am not sure how to access the birthday property in the profile table, based on the way it is stored in the db table i.e name/value columns

I want to migrate users and posts from an existing forum I am using to a ASP.NET membership table without using CreateUser. Basically I want to maintain userIDs so that when I migrate posts they continue to associate with the correct users. Is there a way to do this or would I be better off just using CreateUser and then finding a way to re-assign the post-by-UserIDs to the correct new IDs?

I'm trying to do a bulk insert of data into the aspnet_Membership table. I have existing records from a previous version of the system I am re-building in asp.net. I've been researching and asking questions, but I am still missing something. What is the best way to do this? I believe I need to grab my previous table and iterate over each record and insert into the new membership table via the Membership.CreateUser method. So far I have been unable to make it work. My code so far in the on click event of a button is below.
