I am new to the asp.net MVC 5 identity framework andI am try to do update my details directly. Straight forward, What I want to do is to update my user information to the database. Previously, I changed my user details by using Migrations and I use entity framework in order to generate my controller, view and model it self. However, How do I update my user details. I have seen role methods..but I never understand, How can I do? without using role..Because, I want to update all of user information that I needed to do it in UserManageController...
Is it possible? in a different controller and getting values directly on generated user account? How to retrieve then?
Here is my Identity Models
// You can add profile data for the user by adding more properties to your ApplicationUser class, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=317594 to learn more.
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public string userFname { get; set; }
public string userLname { get; set; }
public string address { get; set; }
public string userContactNo { get; set; }
public string commercialName { get; set; }
public string commercialAddress { get; set; }
public string commercialEmail { get; set; }
public string userType { get; set; }
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
return userIdentity;
}
}
Here is my Registeration model
public class RegisterViewModel
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User First Name")]
public string userFname { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User Last Name")]
public string userLname { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User Address")]
public string address { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User Contact Number")]
public string userContactNo { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Commercial Name")]
public string commercialName { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Commercial Address")]
public string commercialAddress { get; set; }
[EmailAddress]
[Display(Name = "Commercial Email")]
public string commercialEmail { get; set; }
[Key]
[Required]
[EmailAddress]
[Display(Name = "Email")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Confirm password")]
[Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")]
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
[Required]
public string userType { get; set; }
}
How I do this,
UPDATED: As he commented in my answer bellow, he want to update a list of users in the same method. So this will work.
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult> UpdateUserInfo(List<RegisterViewModel> model)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
var userStore = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new
ApplicationDbContext());
var appManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(userStore);
// here you can do a foreach loop and get the email and assign new datas
foreach(var i in model)
{
var currentUser = appManager.FindByEmail(i.Email);
// here you can assign the updated values
currentUser.userFname = i.userFname;
// and rest fields are goes here
await appManager.UpdateAsync(currentUser);
}
var ctx = userStore.Context;
ctx.SaveChanges();
// now you can redirect to some other method or-else you can return
// to this view itself by returning the data
return RedirectToAction("SomeActionMethod");
}
And yes, you should have the fields in your view and there will be a @Html.BeginForm
and a submit button
to post your data. Or-else you can post by ajax
method
Hope it helps.
