ASP.NET MVC List All Users

Question

I'm trying to show a list of all users but am unsure how to go about this using the MVC model.

I can obtain the list of all users via the Membership.GetAllUsers() method however if I try to pass this to the view from the ActionResult, I'm told that Model is not enumerable.

Answer 1

You have to set the View to accept an object of type MembershipUserCollection

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<MembershipUserCollection>" %>

In your action:

 public ActionResult GetUsers()
        {
            var users = Membership.GetAllUsers();
            return View(users);
        }  

then you can write in your view something like:

 <ul>
       <%foreach (MembershipUser user in Model){ %>

       <li><%=user.UserName %></li>

       <% }%>
</ul>
