I noticed asp_membership uses uniqueidentifier, and to me, it seemed like a waste of space, because I could not think of a particular reason to not replace it with identity. However, SQL Server is not letting me change it to int. It says "Conversion from uniqueidentifier to int is not supported on the connected database server". After...
Hello, I am having an issue that I can't seem to figure out. Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction, or give me other ideas to look into. I won't provide much code now because honestly I don't think it's a coding issue. First, I have an ASP.NET 3.5 web application. I am using ASP.NET Membership libraries for my authen...
I don't know what I am missing, and I don't know what else to read to get it right. I will try this gray question to see if I get closer to the solution. I am building a .NET MVC application. This application is authenticating with OpenID using DotNetOpenAuth Library, all that is working ok. Once a user is authenticate I rebcord th...
What do large websites built in .NET use for their login components? I will be implementing the login and membership features of a large .NET web application. As I see it, there are 4 options: Leverage the default Microsoft Membership Provider Build a custom Membership Provider Use a different 3rd Party Component Build an entirely cu...
The MSDN documentation isn't precise on this point. It says in one place: "Gets a collection of membership users where the user name contains the specified user name to match." Later it says, "FindUsersByName returns a list of membership users where the user name matches the supplied usernameToMatch for the configured applicationName....
I know this might sound like something which is explained everywhere.. but I've been watching lots of asp.net/learn videos reading articles - and still there's something missing that explains how all this "Membership" ties together. On the one hand, there's this built-in .net user management which allows you to create roles, users etc....

My team is in the process of designing a domain model which will hide various different data sources behind a unified repository abstraction. One of the main drivers for this approach is the very high probability that these data sources will undergo significant change in the near future and we don't want to be re-writing business logic w...
Back in 2006, Scott Gu blogged about how the source code was available for the ASP.NET Membership Provider here. That was 3 1/2 years ago! Does anyone know if Microsoft has made any improvements to this provider and if there is updated source code? I would like to use the source code to create a custom provider but I know (in my heart...

I'm trying to create a user using the SQL membership provider on SQL Express. When I use the TransactionScope it prompts to DTC with no apparent reason, how can I avoid it? Here is my example code: using (var ts = new TransactionScope()) { MembershipCreateStatus status; Membership.CreateUser(username, password, null, null, null...
Hi I am using asp.net MVC with the asp.net membership but I starting to think that there is no point for me to use Asp.net membership. So I would like to figure out how to generate the same type of cookie with the same fields and the one the asp.net membership one does. Also is there any other settings I need? Like how about stuff lik...
When working with the the createuserwizard control, I found it always showed a "select a different password" message (in the example InvalidPasswordErrorMessage="Parola trebuie sa contina minim 7 caractere." ) when I try to add a user. The passwordregularexpression property is empty by default, I also tried to change it to some simple...

Hi all, When using a gridview and not logged into a asp.net website, the java scrpit does not appear to work. If I am logged in as a user, any pages with gridviews work fine. The only error I'm getting when checking the javascript with Firebug is 'ReferenceError: DES_ValOnSubmit is not defined.' This is a reference to a Peter Blum java...
So I need to add two new properties to the Profile object for asp.net membership. I added these two items to the properties tag in web.config. <group name="Terms"> <add name="Promotions" type="Bool" serializeAs="String" /> <add name="AcceptedTerms" type="Bool" serializeAs="string" /> </group> In my code behind I am able to do Pro...

Hi I ditching asp.net membership so I am guessing I need my own authorize tags(correct me if I am wrong). Since probably the ones they have all point to the membership classes(Not sure how to verify this though). Now I tried to do this public class MyTest : AuthorizeAttribute { protected override bool AuthorizeCore(HttpContextBase ht...
We've got an asp.net mvc website that is currently in a private beta state. As such we are sending out invite codes that must be supplied as part of the registration process for registration to succeed. We'd like to reduce the bar of entry such that users only have to supply the code to gain access rather than going through a more labori...
