Question

I need to get user id from asp.net mvc 3 app in console app. Here is my code: (mvc)

public class MembershipRepository : IMembershipRepository
{
    public Guid GetUserId(string name)
    {
        var providerUserKey = Membership.GetUser(name).ProviderUserKey; // HttpException
        if (providerUserKey != null)
            return (Guid)providerUserKey;
        throw new NullReferenceException("user with this username does't exist");
    }
}

(console) code:

ninjectKernel.Bind<IMembershipRepository>().To<MembershipRepository>();
var membershipRepository = ninjectKernel.Get<IMembershipRepository>();
Guid userId = membershipRepository.GetUserId("admin");

HttpException: Unable to connect to the Sql server database.

Before the exception occures the window pops up: This program has compatibility problems (microsoft sql seqver 2008 and 2008 r2).
I have sql server 2012 installed.

Besides, it’s only a small chunk of code. Before I’m trying to get userId I use other repositories to add data to the database and it works: when I check the table contents it’s full of new entries.

How do I need to change the code? Mabby there is some other way to get userId in console app?

Thanks!

App.config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add
       name="WebStoreConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0; DataBase=WebStore;
          AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\Aleksey\repos\working_copy\WebStore\WebStore\App_Data\WebStore.mdf;
          Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30"
          providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
    />

The exception occured because in MembershipRepository I used built-in Membership provider to return Users. I changed the impementation to work with data context:

public class MembershipRepository : IMembershipRepository
{
    private readonly WebStoreDataContext _dataContext;

    public MembershipRepository(WebStoreDataContext dataContext)
    {
        _dataContext = dataContext;
    }

    public IEnumerable<User> GetUsers()
    {
        return _dataContext.Users;
    }

    public Guid GetUserId(string name)
    {
        return _dataContext.Users.Where(u => u.UserName == name).Select(u => u.UserId).Single();
    }
}

everything works, and I doesn’t need to use web request)

So, you can create new instance of MembershipRepository or instance of YourAppNameDataContext (and workd directly with data context)
