Can't find Request.GetOwinContext

Question

I have been searching for an hour trying to figure out why this isn\'t working.

I have a ASP.Net MVC 5 application with a WebAPI. I am trying to get Request.GetOwin

Answer 1

This took me forever to find a simple answer: but what I did was use the Get extension of the single instance of the IOwinContext that was instantiated in the startup. So it came out like this:

private readonly IOwinContext _iOwinContext = HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext();

public ApplicationUserManager UserManager
    {
        get
        {
            return _userManager ?? _iOwinContext.Get() ;
        }
        private set
        {
            _userManager = value;
        }
    }
