I have an MVC application which uses the Membership services.I am importing a user list from another application that doesn't have any sort of Membership use, so I'm just using a csv file for the import, and writing a standalone C# app to do it. How do I get the standalone app to use the MVC application's database? The code works, in that calls to Membership.CreateUser are returning, but I'm not seeing the users appear in the correct database. So if the database is on my local machine and called "FooBar" how do I tell the Provider to use that instead of whatever default it's using?
i have a secure ASP.net application ,login page and all these stuffs, i want to create a windows desktop application for some resones but i want to use the same security of the asp.net , is there anyway to get the login information of the asp.net to login to my windows desktop application?
a. I want to have User A as a common user for both application X and Y. b. User A can have different roles on X and Y. Eg. Read permission on Y and Write Permission on Y.
How do i configure ASP.NET membership to achieve about functionality.
I'm trying to convert an ASP application to a .NET one. In the old ASP application methodology we have a "users" database with all our users and is indexed by an auto-increment integer which is used across our database (~25-30 tables) relationally. I'm recreating the tables from scratch, so no need to worry about merging data. Let's assume we just have a large relational database that we want to connect to the .NET security model.
Now - with .NET, there is the concept of members and roles being handled for you. I took a look at the aspnet_Users table and it shows a GUID for members I created using the ASP.NET Configuration tool. Basically I need advice on how to link the ASP.NET user's login to my custom database. Any tutorials/links are welcome, I'm not afraid of reading!
It would be great for the Context.User.Identity.Name to store the auto-increment integer PK as well because that could be used in all of my SQL queries to grab information for given users.
p.s. I'm trying to write it as an MVC2 application with a lot of Linq to SQL to keep it all strongly typed and awesome.
I'd like to know if its possible to use two membership providers within a single application. I need to have a membership provider "power users" and administrators on a site and a different one for clients and customers who will want to register on the site. I'd like to know if its possible to have two different membership providers to handle these two different sets of users. If it is, how do i go about it?
I need to add a column name contact id in asp.net memebership table.I get the contact id from the contacts table and i need to pass that contact id in asp.net membership table when user creation event fires.
I am trying to build my own custom Membership Provider in an MVC 3 Web Application using C#.
Here is my code:
[Code]....
As you can see, I am just starting with it, and yet I've encountered problems. According to this tutorial when I right click on MembershipProvider, I should get the option to [ Implement Abstract Class ], but I don't get that ! I am using Visual Studio 2010.
I have a small windows forms application that uses the membership provider that is defined in my app.config file. I want to get rid of my app.config file and initialize the membership provider completely from code. The reason behind this is because I want to be able to dynamically connect to different databases containing asp.net user tables and I want the user to be able to enter the desired database information into a text box at run time. Is this possible or is it required that I have an app.config file?
Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver. That is working, so, so far so good. My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there? The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.
As mentioned in subject line I'm not able to configure role based website in IIS7. Please find details below.

Problem:-
After setuped my website in iis7 while trying to Login in web page even I entered correct password it says Incorrect password in Login control.After long googling I suspecty that we need to add "Provider to trusted provider" to Authorized provider. I have gone http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/management/trustedProviders/add but didn't works for me. Can you anyone please help me in this.
I have finished developing an executable desktop application to generate a fractal image based on the passed-in arguments. The output type is JPEG.Now I am developing a site under ASP.NET MVC 3. I want to use the executable from within my site.
Is it possible to use it as is without converting it to a class library and recompiling?
I just added System.Web reference to a dll assembly, the assembly is for windows applications and for web applications. IF the assembly will be deployed on a server, System.Web will be shared using GAC, and there is no overhead. But what about windows clients. I am wondering if there are extra resources or any kind of problems when System.Web is loaded into memory?
I have developed a Web and windows application, both in C#.NET. Now, what I would like to do is when a button is clicked on a particular page in the web application, a signal has to be sent to the windows app saying a link has been clicked. How could I do this really easily? I would like to stay away from socket programming...
I thought of the web app storing cookies and the desktop application monitoring the cookies folder but that seems a bit clumsy.
I'm going to develop a desktop tool that will require a database.
How would I go about doing it in a way that will allow me to post the code to a website so that all of the desktop applications see a new version and download the database.
I am developing one Intranet Que type project for a small Travel agency. I need one logic to route the customer que over all sales agent so anyone once free he will be buzzup to pickup the customer till here is Okay. But i need some timeout if no sales agent pickup the Que it will forward to the supervisor. Now here is my Question should i make a small desktop application and run in server to moinitor the time and forward the task.... or Is Web Service is suitable for this? (Forward means just it will update one field of table so it will start displaying in Supervisor screen.)
Is there a way to make a desktop application easily interfaceable via Web ? Meaning, can you have a way to interface with a single desktop application as if you were remote desktop'd into the machine but not? I am looking at doing this in ASP.NET or Silverlight.
I am trying to develop a web application(Using ASP.NET and c#) that uses a specific database hosted on web server. I will have another desktop application that will use a local database. Both databases have same structure and data at start up. Then databases will change when users add data to web application and an employee adds data to the desktop application. After a while I have to sync both databases.
What will be best way to do this? Is there any opensource example/ starter kit to start with?
Is it possible to take a page object, or maybe just a single ASP.NET control, and render it in a desktop application in some way? For example, Visual Studio, being a desktop application renders ASP.NET controls in the design surface. I want to do something similar.
Edit:
I am brainstorming on how to make a very simple designer for a very simple data entry application. I would have some custom ASP.NET data entry controls, and I want lay users to be able to see what the page might look like as close as possible. So I would want a panel in the application to show the rendered collection of controls, but the panel does not need to be interactive in any way. I.e. no click and drag or resizing of controls, etc. There will be standard windows form controls that the form author interacts with for defining the layout of the page.
I will simply save a list of the controls they added with some other information the "designer"(who are non-technical experts) provides, and I will use that information to later create the actual aspx page, either through a manual or automated process, TBD.
Is it possible to invoke/execute a particular desktop application why entering an URL in the browser. i.e, when a specific request is executed on the browser, our desktop application should be invoked.
I would like to use the Role Membership and User Security database as my application database too. That is, just add the tables and relationships required by my application's data access layer to the Membership and Roles Database to save on hosting fees, (I have to pay extra for having two databases instead of one). Of course, the connection string would have to be adjusted, but I don't see a downside considering the application's database is actually an Access database. What can I say, it was a requirement at the time.
Basically, I would like to do the opposite of this: http://forums.asp.net/p/1162485/1925262.aspx#1925262
We are implementing some business functionality that it exposed through the asp.net web service. At the current stage user interface is required for some peace of it and we are going to implement it inside of already existing desktop application (it is MFC C++ application, but we are considering to integrate some WinForms/Wpf components). In the nearest future we plan to replace current desktop application with a web site version (it will be asp.net web site, or PROBABLY Silverlight application). Therefore, I would like to implement UI once on the web site and just re-use it in some way from desktop application. Am I clear enough? Is there any way to do that? For sure, I can implement web service and use it from desktop application right now and re-use it from web application when it will be required... But I hope there is a better way to do that.
I have a web application and on that application i update a sql database what i want is that when i update the database from the web application a notification will be sent to any one openening my application or a pop up appears to them on their desktop informing them that the database is updated to check all this will be in an intranet. I'm using ASP.Net and I'm the admin for all the PCs in the network and the server.
is there any way i can make use of windows programming in my asp.net based application and i can determine if my application is running on server or desktop?
