I am developing an MVC 3 project and want to add a user to a role when they are registered, using Forms Authentication. So I'd like to create some check boxes, or a drop down list showing the roles, which are selected and the user is assigned to the role as they are registered.
I have this code so far, which works:
public ActionResult Register()
{
ViewData["roleName"] = new SelectList(Roles.GetAllRoles(), "roleName");
return View();
}
And in the view I have:
<label for="roleName">Select Role:</label>
@Html.DropDownList("roleName")
@Html.ValidationMessage("roleName")
This is HttpPost section of the controller, and this is the part that I don't know what to code:
[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)
{
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);
So, all the roles do show up in the view. All I need to know is what to add to the HttpPost section to get this working.
Thanks a lot, Amy
Try this. It's should work
