I am trying to convert my vb.net 2010 web forms application into a C#

  • 0

I am trying to convert my vb.net 2010 web forms application into a C# MVC 4 application. Since my membership is already setup, I would prefer to just continue using the membership provider instead of the simplemembershipprovider.
Hi,

I am using PluralSight to learn MVC, but have not been able to find any reference on how to convert membership code to mvc.

I have a custom table that is linked by UserID to the mememberships User table. This custom table, asp_customUser, stores additional information about the user.

In the account controller, there is a register action, with the view and model. The register process does not handle roles, much less my custom data.

What I would like to know is, how do I add roles and custom user information to the database, when part of the fields in the registration view come from the membership library and the other part go to my custom table.

Thanks

    Yes, you can use the old membership. Just copy and paste your membership provider from the old web.config to the new one.

    If this is running on a different computer, you may need to set the machine key, however, in order for it to be able to correctly validate the password hashes.

    You would then remove the Simple membership initialization attribute from the Account controller, and you would need to remove all the other simple membership code. You would also be giving up the OpenId authentication, because normal membership does not work with WebSecurity, so you would have to remove all that as well.
