Web Forms :: Create A Profile In Which The User Can Create And Edit His Profile?
Jun 25, 2010
I got the followig task.Create a website (Profile.aspx) in which the User can create and edit his profile.Well, I know how to write in a database, but how do I get the UserName oder the UserID to make a PrimaryKey?If the user is logged in a session will be started. In this session is the UserName but I don't know how to read out the UserName with ASP.NET to make an PrimaryKey. If I would try to read out the UserName with C# I must save it in an variable and give it somehow to my form.
im creating a multi step create user wizard for new members but I run into a problem. If the create of an account is in step 3 how do I capture the values from step 1 and 2. Should I try to pass the values to sessions or is there some other code. Here is some codebehind I tried so far (did not work).
I am building a social networking site for employees and where an employee can sign up and create a profile and enter job employment history, interests etc. into text boxs and a aspx. page will be created showing all their details. Then in a data grid a preview of their profile would be shown allowing a user to click on that field which would direct them to that persons profile.
I am finding it hard to find information on how to automatically create a profile for each user that signs up.
I am using ASP.NET 3.5 and SQL SERVER 2008. And I have a very simple code within my ASP.NET page :

[code]....
The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express instance using a database location within the applications App_Data directory. The provider attempted to automatically create the application services database because the provider determined that the database does not exist. The following configuration requirements are necessary to successfully check for existence of the application services database and automatically create the application services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the web server account must have read and write access to the applications directory. This is necessary because the web server account will automatically create the App_Data directory if it does not already exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web server account only requires read and write access to the applications App_Data directory. This is necessary because the web server account will attempt to verify that the Sql Server Express database already exists within the applications App_Data directory. Revoking read access on the App_Data directory from the web server account will prevent the provider from correctly determining if the Sql Server Express database already exists. This will cause an error when the provider attempts to create a duplicate of an already existing database. Write access is required because the web server accounts credentials are used when creating the new database. Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user profile. See the readme document for details on how to create a local user profile for both machine and domain accounts.
I am using profile services to store some attributes of users registered in the website. Now I am making a display profile page for a user. The problem is that the profile loads easily when I am running the site from VS 2010, but it gives the following error when I run it from IIS7 on my local machine:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I am currently useing forms authenticantion with users set up with the Membership API and I have there other information like first name and work phone number stored useing the Profiles API. I want to create a company directory useing a grid view to display every user and there profile information. I can use Membership.GetAllUsers() or ProfileManager.GetAllProfiles() but it does not list any of the custom profile information like name and phone. What is the best way to get a grid view to show all the user information?

in that i have also put a image control and upload control for uploading a book image and image uploaded is stored in a seperate folder only image name is stored in database.what i want is when user upload image he can view it on tha page without storing it on server folder directly from where image is selected and when he click on save only than image and its name is stored.problem is i can not view uploaded image without stroing it in folder.is there any way i can store image temporary to view and if user dont save data image is deleted from thereor image is directly viewed from client`s pc in the page.
I wan to be able to allow a user to edit their profile in a details for or other controlLooking at the ASPNETDB tables is is not clear to me how to do this.
I am trying to create my own profile provider based upon the tables I have made for my website, I have watched the video and read several articles on creating one, but none of them goes very indepth when you have several tables and groups to profile from. First: I have three groups
1. Employees 2. Customers 3. Applicants
PROBLEM: Video and tutorials don't show how to integrate groups into your profile. Based upon the UserId, I want to load only Table ID's into the profile. IE for a customer it would be
CustomerID from [customer_data] LocationID from [customer_location] ContactID from [customer_contacts]......................
I'm trying to update/create the user profile for a specific user that will not be the logged on user of the moment. I'm able to do this with the following code:
'Dim p As ProfileBase = ProfileBase.Create(Email, False)
you could create your own custom Profile provider that operates against existing database tables .i want u to help me out if u have an idea where i can get steps by steps to carry out the above operation.i know there are various options in creating profile , particularlly the use of web. configuration, the default ASPNETDB, and XML files, BUT i wish to use an existing database which i prefer.
i,m workign on mailing project , and in a user table i added the UserImage feild in the user table and i uploaded the images to the database as bytes but it make the size of the database too large so i wanna upload images for users to a folders but link them to database table to use them when i make queries to retrive user image or user data like (Request.Querystring["ID"])
I have to find User Profile property name programatically, not for a particular user, I have to find all properties name for all users at a time(not to iterate one by one) to display in webparts as columns.
I have a web site [URL] which had users profiles and accounts, and each user has his own user account name, I want once the user enter the url then his account user name after that to redirect him to his account page
ex. a user account name is xxx once he go to url [URL] it will automatically redirect him to [URL]
I want to use Profile Properties to keep some user information and move them between pages. I'm wondering if those profile properties are keeping data session based or when I assigned them is it same for all sessions/ Is this a safe method to use them:
