ASP.Net UserName to Email

Question

I am working with the new ASP.NET Identity (RTM) and I was wondering how would I go on about changing registering and login from being a UserName to an Email.

The id

Answer 1

I get this working.

First go to accountViewModels and add a Property for the UserName

Public Class RegisterViewModel
    
    
    Public Property UserName As String

    
    
    
    Public Property Email As String

After modify your Register view adding the username property

        @Html.LabelFor(Function(m) m.UserName, New With {.class = "col-md-2 control-label"})
        

            @Html.TextBoxFor(Function(m) m.UserName, New With {.class = "form-control"})
        
    
    

        @Html.LabelFor(Function(m) m.Email, New With {.class = "col-md-2 control-label"})
        

            @Html.TextBoxFor(Function(m) m.Email, New With {.class = "form-control"})
        
    

Once this is done, modify too your Login view

                @Html.ValidationSummary(True, "", New With {.class = "text-danger"})
            

                @Html.Label("User Name", New With {.class = "col-md-2 control-label"})
                

                    @Html.TextBoxFor(Function(m) m.Email, New With {.class = "form-control"})
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(m) m.Email, "", New With {.class = "text-danger"})
                
            
            

                @Html.LabelFor(Function(m) m.Password, New With {.class = "col-md-2 control-label"})
                

                    @Html.PasswordFor(Function(m) m.Password, New With {.class = "form-control"})
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(Function(m) m.Password, "", New With {.class = "text-danger"})
                
            

That is all you need. This way you can LogIn with the UserName not with the email address.
