I am trying to get to grips with the new Membership system introduced in ASP.NET MVC 5 and I've come across a small issue which I am pretty sure you will be able to help me with.
I am going based off this tutorial and have introduced custom properties to ApplicationUser such as Name, Surname, DOB, etc.
However, instead of creating the user, I am trying to update the currently logged in one. I am looking at the controller method which is currently used to change password.
public async Task<ActionResult> Manage(ManageUserViewModel model)
{
string userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();
bool hasLocalLogin = await IdentityManager.Logins.HasLocalLoginAsync(userId);
ViewBag.HasLocalPassword = hasLocalLogin;
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = Url.Action("Manage");
if (hasLocalLogin)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
IdentityResult result = await IdentityManager.Passwords.ChangePasswordAsync(User.Identity.GetUserName(), model.OldPassword, model.NewPassword);
if (result.Success)
{
return RedirectToAction("Manage", new { Message = "Your password has been changed." });
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
}
else
{
// User does not have a local password so remove any validation errors caused by a missing OldPassword field
ModelState state = ModelState["OldPassword"];
if (state != null)
{
state.Errors.Clear();
}
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Create the local login info and link it to the user
IdentityResult result = await IdentityManager.Logins.AddLocalLoginAsync(userId, User.Identity.GetUserName(), model.NewPassword);
if (result.Success)
{
return RedirectToAction("Manage", new { Message = "Your password has been set." });
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
How exactly would I go on about updating an ApplicationUser's Surname for example? Do I need to call the DbContext or?
I hope my question is clear.
