Where To Store And Set User Site Wide Data In MVC
Feb 16, 2010
I have an application in which a user can choose from different (learning)groups. User has only access to registered groups. When the user enters the site, he can choose (in a dropdown) which group he wants to see, so the complete site filters content related to that group. So every controller needs to access this global "group" object.What is the best way to do this in ASP.NET MVC? I've thought about a BaseController or ActionFilters. Is there any other best practice?I've build a WebForms application and there I used a BasePage so that any other page has access to the group.

What is the recommended or usual way an ASP.net web application(in C# language) can store/access values that are needed accross the various pages in a website. For example a basic company website might need the company's name and other related information available to multiple pages. Where do I declare these variables/values and how do I access them. Coming from c++ application programming I would usually store such data in a Singleton class object.

How do I store a variable or object application wide in ASP.net MVC. In regular ASP, you had the Application object, and in ASP.net too apparently.

I get the following message while trying to access the Security tab in ASP.NET Web Site Administration:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)I have configured my own data store following this guide. Which essentially tells you to run aspnet_regsql.exe to set up a data store in order to keep authentication data for a SharePoint site (which is what I want to do).This is what I've written in the web.config at the end of the tag <system.web> for the Visual Studio 2008 project initiated to deal with the Web Site Administration:
<membership defaultProvider="AcAspNetSqlMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="AcAspNetSqlMembershipProvider"

I have a requirement where I have to transfer a user from Web Site 1 on Server A to web Site 2 on Server B.
On Web Site 1, I have to provide controls to enter user id and password and which have to be validated on Web Site 2 on server B, after validating them I have to redirect the user to Web site 2.
what is best way fo doing it. code examples are greatly appreciated.
Note: On Web Site 2, user login functionality is already existing and it is provided by ASP.Net login control, am not sure how to handle the user login process from two different places.
or is it the best way to move Web Site 2 from Server B to Server A so that, the same login controls will be shown using Iframe on Web Site A.

I'm am building an web application that needs to be able to scale.We want to store, an connection string, an object that says what organization the user is working on right now and the identity of the user.
We could serialize down this and send through the userdata property in the FormsAuthenticationTicket, but that feels to not be the optimal solution, cause its is 4-5 strings of data that is unncessesary, but the main issue is that we are sending an encrypted connectionstring to the user which we dosent want to.
So what are our options?Can ASP.NET Cache be our solution?, can we couple the expiration of the asp.net cache and the formsauthenticationcookie?

I'm using the ASP.NET SQL Membership Provider. So, there's an aspnet_Users table that has details of each of my users. (Actually, the aspnet_Membership table seems to contain most of the actual data). I now want to store some per-user information in my database, so I thought I'd just create a new table with a UserId (GUID) column and an FK relationship to aspnet_Users. However, I then discovered that I can't easily get access to the UserId since it's not exposed via the membership API. (I know I can access it via the ProviderUserKey, but it seems like the API is abstracting away the internal UserID in favor of the UserName, and I don't want to go too far against the grain).
So, I thought I should instead put a LoweredUserName column in my table, and create an FK relationship to aspnet_Users using that. Bzzzt. Wrong again, because while there is a unique index in aspnet_Users that includes the LoweredUserName, it also includes the ApplicationId - so in order to create my FK relationship, I'd need to have an ApplicationId column in my table too. At first I thought: fine, I'm only dealing with a single application, so I'll just add such a column and give it a default value. Then I realised that the ApplicationId is a GUID, so it'd be a pain to do this. Not hard exactly, but until I roll out my DB I can't predict what the GUID is going to be. I feel like I'm missing something, or going about things the wrong way. What am I supposed to do?

I am using Visual Studio 2008.
I created a New Project ASP.NET Web Application.
I created a Textbox named VisitorName. The visitor puts in their name and it goes in VisitorName.Text
There is a Label that says "Which do you own?"
There is a RadioButtonList. It has Cat, Dog and None.
There is a button that says Add to list.
The button needs to add the results of the above items and put them in the list.
Now you keep adding people and their pets.
Once there are all entered you press send and I get the results for everyone entered during that session via email.
I have no database access and the information does not need to be stored in such a way.
I would like to use a datatable or datalist or something to that sort.
Oh and I would like the visitor to be able to click on a name in the table and edit the data using the form controls not in the datalist or datatable itself.

I have implemented my own custom MembershipProvider with a custom data store. No problems so far. I would like for people to login using their email instead of a username. Because I have my own data store, this is not a major issue, I can just pass the email as the username for the MembershipProvider.
My question is, how do I store additional custom user data along in the FormsAuthenticationTicket? I want to store a couple of things that will never change, such as their UserId, First/Last Name and Country. I started looking into creating FormsAuthenticationTicket with the UserData, but quickly got confused. How do I store multiple things into this UserData, and how do I easily read this data back on every single ASP.NET MVC2 page. I found many samples, none that really seemed that great in terms of MVC2. There has to be a simple way to do this.
It would make no sense to read the UserId, First/Last Name and the Country from a database on each and every request because it would never change. Plus, while I want the user to login using their email, I'd want to store their UserId in the auth cookie so that it can be used in nearly every user related database query rather than the email (because in all the tables, the user data is stored along with the UserId - not the email because technically the email could be changed - I already figured that stuff out when it comes to the MembershipProvider).
What is the best practices for storing additional user data like this in ASP.NET MVC2?

I have one parent gridview where each record will link to its details page (another child gridview in modal popup). May I know how do I store the values of the child gridview temporary (maybe in session) and repopulate the data into the parent gridview? Current problem is: once I click save in the child modalpop gridview, it binds the parent gridview before the child gridview data is stored in session. I want to store the data temporary until user click save in the parent gridview.

I need to store a large amount of data in user's session but I guess using Session Object is not the best way of doing that. Is there any other way around??? Remember I don't have small variables to store, I have large collections.

I am currently trying to implement a small class attendance system, where the student names are taken from a database, stored in a List<Student>, and bound to a Repeater control. Each row of the Repeater contains two columns: The first is the student's name, and the remaining column contains a RadioButtonList with three ListItems (Present, Absent, Sick).Now, once the user presses "Submit", I want to be able to store their attendance status based on the user selection. However, after submission, the SelectedIndex is always 0, no matter what option is selected.

Our application lets the administrator create new users. Since the administrator is logged in, I have set Logincreateduser = false so that the administrator is not logged out even after creating the new user.
The problem is :I need the userid of the newly created user to store additional details of the user in another database table. I see that i can get the username using Createuserwizard1.username; but how do I get the userID?

I just set up user profiles using asp.net 3.5 using wvd. For each user I would like to store data that they will be updating every day. For example, every time they go for a run they will update time and distance. I intend to allow them to also look up their history of distance and time from any past date. My question is, what does the database schema usually look like for such a set up? Currently asp.net set up a db for me when I made user profiles. Do I just add an extra table for every user? Should there be one big table with all users data? How do I relate a user I'd to their specific data? Etc.
