Configure Microsoft.AspNet.Identity to allow email address as username

Question

I\'m in the process of creating a new application and started out using EF6-rc1, Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core 1.0.0-rc1, Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework 1.0.0-rc

Answer 1

If you are using ASP.Net webforms and are trying to accomplish this, simply open up your IdentityModels.vb/cs file and under Public Class UserManager, have it look as so:

Public Class UserManager
Inherits UserManager(Of ApplicationUser)

Public Sub New()
    MyBase.New(New UserStore(Of ApplicationUser)(New ApplicationDbContext()))
    Users = store
    UserValidator = New UserValidator(Of ApplicationUser)(Me) With {.AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames = False}
End Sub

Public Property Users() As IUserStore(Of ApplicationUser)
    Get
        Return m_Users
    End Get
    Private Set(value As IUserStore(Of ApplicationUser))
        m_Users = value
    End Set
End Property
Private m_Users As IUserStore(Of ApplicationUser)

End Class
