I like to enable users to choose their role on register in asp.net mvc web application. I have previous add roles via asp.net addministration tool. Here is the code I am using in register methods
public ActionResult Register()
{
ViewData["roleName"] = new SelectList(Roles.GetAllRoles(), "roleName");
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, null, null, true, null, out createStatus);
if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "roleName");
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false /* createPersistentCookie */);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", ErrorCodeToString(createStatus));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
While in Register View I got this code
<label for="roleName">Select Role:</label>
@Html.DropDownList("roleName")
@Html.ValidationMessage("roleName")
Roles are written in the database and users although. However UsersInRoles table is empty and I got this exception
System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The role 'roleName' was not found.
Does anybody had the same problem?
