I'm new to MVC (5). In order to add localization support to my website I added a " Language " field to my ApplicationUser : IdentityUser What's the best approach to now store this information in the browser and ensure that it gets re-created even if the user manually deletes it? TL; but I've got time What I've tried until now: I started creating a cookie in my method private async Task SignInAsync(ApplicationUser user, bool isPersistent) but I notice that: This method is not used if the user is already authenticated and automatically logs in using the .Aspnet.Applicationcookie and my language

As I've found out here , I can't call HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication.SignIn(...) in FacebookAuthenticationProvider OnAuthenticated event. It seems to be a different context. My users will be from Facebook, which means that I will need to retrieve data such as id , email ... This information is accessible on the OnAuthenticated event and I need this information to SignIn. I need to access this information on my controller...

I am working on exception handling and have written below code for the same. Web.Config <customErrors mode="On"></customErrors> Code Changes public class CustomExceptionFilter : HandleErrorAttribute { public override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext) { //_logger.Error("Uncaught exception", filterContext.Exception); ViewResult view = new ViewResult(); view.ViewName = "Error"; filterContext.Result = view; // Prepare the response code. filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true; filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Clear(); filterContext.HttpContext.Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true;

I am reading about Attribute Routing in Web API 2 from here The article says, Here are some other patterns that attribute routing makes easy. API versioning In this example, “/api/v1/products” would be routed to a different controller than “/api/v2/products”. /api/v1/products /api/v2/products How come? EDIT: I would do this in Normal Routing: public static class WebApiConfig { public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) { config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/v2/products", defaults: new { controller = V2_Products } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name:

I want to compress my web application with Gzip and I am using following class compression filter public class CompressFilter : ActionFilterAttribute { public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { HttpRequestBase request = filterContext.HttpContext.Request; string acceptEncoding = request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"]; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(acceptEncoding)) return; acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToUpperInvariant(); HttpResponseBase response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response; if (acceptEncoding.Contains("GZIP")) { response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding",

I get the following error when I try to register a new user, using Identity 2.0 and the default MVC 5 application: Invalid column name 'Email'. Invalid column name 'EmailConfirmed'. Invalid column name 'PhoneNumber'. Invalid column name 'PhoneNumberConfirmed'. Invalid column name 'TwoFactorEnabled'. Invalid column name 'LockoutEndDateUtc'. Invalid column name 'LockoutEnabled'. Invalid column name 'AccessFailedCount'. (repeats 2 more times, I have a total of 4 test users in AspNetUsers table.)

I'm stuck. Nothing seems to work for me. I'm new to MVC and EF so basically I think I need some sort of step-by-step guide.
