Web Forms :: Profile Properties Safe To Keep User Information?
Mar 19, 2010
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:
I am using my aspnet membership for storing user profile related information in the database and I am looking for a way to access that information out of database from a function like Member.GetProfile. I am just wondering of any of the membership classes give thet functionality that I can actually access the information out of Membership database.
Somebody suggested me follwowing thread:
[Code]....
I am "Profile" object is not recognized in my code I think they are trying to refer to some some instance of a class here by the word Profile but I am not sure what instance is that.
I want to pass an asp.net membership user name to a subroutine and retrieve the profile property named FullName for that user, how can i achive this in vb.net?
I need to know how to change aspnetdb to store profile information unique to each user so that I can restrict records in an sql table to only show that user's records.
So if I make a "companyID" int, identity column where would I put it?
Also, when I write the where clause to companyID = profile (companyID) would that work?
I m trying to use the profile system to get information of the authenticated user form the data base, just like the session system : the user is authenticated then I set same variable with information of this user coming from data base !I am familiar with PHP so i m trying to do it like that !Also, i woul like to join my own data base and the asp.net membership database !
I was implementing codes taken from[URL] .... and [URL] ....
It works fine separatly but when i want to integrate it gives me an error "Bad Request......"at so how can i get user info and his friend list on login button.
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?
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.
{System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'MyMachineASPNET'. File activation failure. The physical file name "MyApplicationPathApp_Dataaspnetdb_log.ldf" may be incorrect.
Using Profile propertiseAs aspnetdb.mdf and aspnetdb_log.ldf are supposed to get created automatically, but only aspnetdb.mdf is getting created log file is not created when i run application and get above error.
I am logged in as user1, and while creating a user in which I have additional information which would store first and last name into the profile database. I have the following code
[Code]....
But because I just have profile like that, it is updating the profile of user1 not the new user i just created
I have set up the Profile correctly in the web.config file, however I can not use them in the Home Controller.ie: I have a property called FirstName I can not fetch that property and or set a value to it.I added System.Web.
How do I get access to my custom strong-named properties of the common profile (page.profile) in ASP.NET for a classes that does not derive from page? I thought I could just pass in httpcontext.profile but I'm missing the custom properties.
There should be some class type that I can pass in? It appears the class type is ProfileCommon and is auto-generated.
We have added some custom profile properties to the web.config - what we want to do is have the code access them once (when user logs in) and cache this so that the code doesn't have to hit the database each time we call Profile.<our custom profile property name>
What we see is a call to GetProperties or GetProfile each time we access Profile. <our custom profile property name> - whats the recommended way to do this?
I am working in a Silverlight 4 + RIA Services application. On the server side I am using Entity Framework and SQL Server. The user authentication is performed in the application using the default ASP.NET Membership Provider.
I am also using some profile properties to store some user preferences. Unfortunately I came across a situation where I have to change one of this properties in all users.
Altought I am using EF to manage data persistence, the ASP Membership provider tables are not in my entities diagram, since everything I must do regarding membership is performed using the objects available on the provider.
So I was thinking to use this objects to change the user prefrences, but my question is about what happens if something fails? Is there any transaction object I could use on the Membership objects to perform an atomic operation?
I know EF supports transactions, but in this case I would have to add the asp.net membership tables to my diagram.. only for that operation.
I am useing asp.net membership to store my users and under each users profile there is a field for their supervisor. I would like to get a list of all the users with the supervisor "Jon Doe". Is there an easy way to do this or would I just have to loop through each user and see if there supervisor = "Jon Doe" then if it is store there username in a list?
I'm currently developing a web site that will make heavy use of asp.net membership. (Using Umbraco, but that just uses the regular asp.net membership provider).I want to store some extended information about a user and I'm considering if I should store the information in the profile or in a custom table. Is there any pros / cons to any specific method? Some properties like payment details are more natural to place in the profile, on the other hand, a transaction log seems less natural residing in the user profile (IMHO). Any thoughts on this?
We've been using the custom SQL table profile provider offered on the MSDN site.No problem configuring the new provider and saving profile values into our custom table while using the Create User Wizard.However, we cannot seem to be able to display the profile properties, using
[Code]....
The user is logged in, and there are no problems displaying all membership values and role values.
In my application I am using the aspnetdb membership for authorizing users. I created a new table UserProfiles that will hold their profile information. The UserID is linked to aspnet_users UserID with a foreign key. One of the columns in the table represent CompanyID (int). I want to be able to restrict logged in users to only see records from their company based on the CompanyID. There can be more than one user with the same CompanyID to the UserID would not work. I can restrict their access by UsedID to only see records they created by using code behind:
[Code]....
and my select statement is:
[Code]....
How would be the best way to restrict the selected data to UserProfiles.CompanyID?
I have a site I'm working on where the values being stored in user profiles can change so I need to iterate through all available profile options and display them (say in a label or gridview for instance). Here is an example of a web.config I threw together
I'm authenticating my users using the following code for the login event:
[Code]....
The following code runs in global.asax at Application_AuthenticateRequest:
[Code]....
Everything works great so far. Next thing that I need to do is add additional user information to the forms authentication ticket using user profile. When I try to add it right after the login code above, I end up getting an error message about anonymous profile. On the other hand, HttpContext.Profile is read only and doesn't seem to work. Is there any workaround for this?
I have created a custom user creation wizard to store custom user information, This is working fine. I am now trying to create a new page to give the newly created user to create users in there own company, so i need to retrieve the company information from the user profile created and automaticlly fill that information into the new create user wizard. ie User from A company logs in. (company_id from profile is stored in session) User A wants to make another user in company A (but cannot make a user in company B) User A fills in details for new user, Company A information is autofill into new user info. (possibly from session)
I have read alot about storing membership. info into session but i cannot find any code examples of how to do this. I need to find a way to store Company_id into session and then use that for creating a new user with the same Company_id.
i have defined profile properties in my web config file but unable to access them in code behind. even profile object is not available. i have to writer fully qualified name like System.Web.Profile. below is my web config
