ASP.NET MVC 5 identity application user as foreign

问题:

I know Visual Studio 2013 launches officially tomorrow and hopefully there will be more accompanying documentation especially as it regards ASP.NET Identity. I am hopping that in the meantime someone can help me out.

All I am trying to do is to get the UserID of the currently logged in user as foreign key to a table I called Retailer.

First here is the error message I am getting

An entity object cannot be referenced by multiple instances of IEntityChangeTracker.

Here is my POCO:

public class Retailer
{
    [Key]
    public int RetailerId { get; set; }
    public string BusinessName { get; set; }
    public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
    public string ManagerName { get; set; }
    public Enums.Industry Industry { get; set; }
    public virtual ApplicationUser UserProfile { get; set; }

}

Here is how Entity Framework CodeFirst created the table from the above class:

CreateTable(
    "dbo.Retailers",
    c => new
        {
            RetailerId = c.Int(nullable: false, identity: true),
            BusinessName = c.String(),
            PhoneNumber = c.String(),
            ManagerName = c.String(),
            Industry = c.Int(nullable: false),
            UserProfile_Id = c.String(maxLength: 128),
        })
    .PrimaryKey(t => t.RetailerId)
    .ForeignKey("dbo.AspNetUsers", t => t.UserProfile_Id)
    .Index(t => t.UserProfile_Id);

And here is where I am trying to save a record to this table in my Controller:

if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var currentUser = await UserManager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId());
    retailer.UserProfile = currentUser;
    db.Retailers.Add(retailer);
    await db.SaveChangesAsync();
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

And for full disclosure here is some of the stack trace:

回答1:

UserManager uses it's own DbContext to load data from the database. You will need to retrieve the user from the same dbContext that you use to add a reference to. Something like:

var currentUMUser = await UserManager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId());
var currentUser = db.Users.Find(currentUMUser.UserID);
retailer.UserProfile = currentUser;
db.Retailers.Add(retailer);
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");

Of course, you will have to retrieve the user from your DB using whatever method actually works for your models and DbContext.

Add the using statement:

using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;

Then you can retrieve the UserId with:

var a = User.Identity.GetUserId();
