asp.net-membership

Using asp.net profiles, I've stored a complex type (class) and retrieved it. But it is returning a new object that is not initialized instead of null? Is this the expected behavior, if so how can I determine if I've saved data for the given user? should be some easy points for someone to pick up.. Your question is a little unclear, but I think you're asking why there's a non-null profile data object for a user who you haven't stored data for yet? This article might hopefully clear it up for you. Some of the relevant bits: A user profile is a collection of values that the ASP.NET 2.0 runtime

I'm somewhat confused by membership providers for .NET. I have built a MVC 3 web application, but obviously login pages don't work out-of-the-box because I need to wire up a membership provider. I would have expected this process to be easy, but when I search for help I find numerous articles on writing custom providers. Can't I just set up a table or two, wire up a few details in web.config and have things work based on some default MVC membership provider? I have no desire to re-invent the wheel! TIA. The MSDN membership installation documentation is still applicable through to .NET 4,

I have an existing project that i'm working on that uses .net membership. We want to expand the project to allow anonymous users but we seem to have hit a snag as we use the UserId of the aspnet_Users table as a foreign key in many of our database tables. The following call returns null as there is no record in the aspnet_Membership table for anonymous users Membership.Provider.GetUser(Request.AnonymousID, false); Is there any way to get the UserId of an anonymous user through the standard API's? or will I have to write an extension that can do it?

With the default membership provider for MVC 2 projects, I can reference User.Identity.UserName as per whatever it creates by default. I don't want to do this--want to use my own tables. So, I implemented the System.Web.Security.MembershipProvider class. The only thing I've implemented, as per many posts on the web and SO, is ValidateUser(string username, string password) I can easily see this accepts username and password strings, I access my database context (LINQ to Entities, actually the dotConnect provider for MySQL), and check the username and password--simple enough. But, how can I make

I need some clarifications for ASP.NET Membership; please help me with it. I am using ASP.NET MCV 3 framework and intending to use ASP.NET Membership for users & authentication management using either LDAP or SQL. For what I've understood until now; ASP.NET Membership is: [User] has [Role] or [Role] has [Users] But in my project I have a more complex business logic; where I need this hierarchy to next level like [User] has [Role] -> has [Tasks] So I can dynamically assign/revoke tasks/permissions to my MVC controllers or actions; I plan to get started with Membership with SQL Provider and than

This is the Model code generated in MVC3 for Account/Membership class for a sample project I created. I do not see UserId field/attribute or Roles information.. Where is the UserId and Roles information ? public class ChangePasswordModel { [Required] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Current password")] public string OldPassword { get; set; } [Required] [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "New password")] public string NewPassword { get; set; } [DataType(DataType

How do you add the option to upload a profile image to the default RegisterModel in MVC 4? This answer converts the image to a byte array so that you can then save it in a database. It can easily be modified if you wanted to save the image to file store. The code for the View Model.
