I store user data in a MSSQL table called Users. What I want to is to have accessible all user's data for actually logged user (email, address, phone, if the user is subscriber etc.).

When a user logs in to my site, the date of the visit is stamped in the database (User table). This is handled by the (custom) membership provider. However, if the user checks the "Remember me?" option when logging in, they are (naturally) not prompted to log in on subsequent visits. As the membership provider is not employed in this sit...

Hi, My scenario is I have a asp.net 2.0 application web application which had the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider properties as: enablePasswordRetrieval="false" and passwordFormat="Hashed" But now the need has risen to store user's passwords unencrypted as clear text and display them to Superusers. I have done this by changing the AspNetSq...
I'm trying to integrate an existing schema into a custom provider but the MembershipUser object only seems to have ProviderKey, an object, based on a uniqueIdentifier. How can I store my existing set of ID's for my users in this object as well and pull them from the DB when I get user information? I need the legacy key to access all my...
