What is the code to retrive the userid of the currently loged in user
from the asp)user membership databse using the new login controls of
asp.net 2.

How do i use that in the "configure database source. What is the source
would it be profile or from the cookie, and if it is profile what would be in
teh propery name?

Hi Tdar,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
Regarding on the getting Membership userid question, do you mean how to
access the underlying MembershipUser's identity value(primary key)? Based
on my understanding, we can get the MembershipUser's underlying database
identity through the following code:

================
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser();

Response.Write("<br>Username: " + user.UserName);
Response.Write("<br>:LastLoginDate " + user.LastLoginDate);
Response.Write("<br>ProviderUserKey: " +
user.ProviderUserKey.ToString());
}
================

the above code help display the current login user's ProviderUserKey.
However, the "ProviderUserKey contains the underlying user key identity
which is provider specific(generally it should be transparent to
developers...). So we do not recommend that we directly use it in our
asp.net web application. Also, for FormsAuthentication, the authentication
ticket is cookie based, and I think the authentication ticket only
contains username as the identity rather than the underlying UserKey.
Is there any particular scenario in your application that you need to use
the underlying Provider specific UserKey value? Please feel free to post
here if you have anything unclear.

Thanks,

I would like to use the key in a many to one database the (one being your
memebership database, many being favorate items for that user) for there
custom home page. In order to accomplish this I would need the userid
(unique key) that i can populate as a relationship between the two SQL
tables. And I would need to query for that information in that table after
words.

I am wondering how i could use that in when configuring the data connection.
should i just throw the userid in a hidden text box and they use the control
function in the configure dataconnection to do a where query on that user id,
or is there a better easier way to do that ??

Thanks for your response Tdar,

As for the profile service, it can be configured to use any different
underlying data strorage as long as there is proper provider for it(By
default we use Sql data store). And of course we can store mutliple lists
or other class instance or objects in the profile db for each user , the
requirement is that those class must be serializable (since it'll be
serialized before persisted into profile db...).

Hi Tdar,

As for the ID , it is used internally by the ServiceProvider which may not
expose public interfaces for us to query data through that UserKey. So
what's the information you want to get through this userkey?
In your former message, you mentioned that
===================

I would like to use the key in a many to one database the (one being your
memebership database, many being favorate items for that user) for there
custom home page. In order to accomplish this I would need the userid
(unique key) that i can populate as a relationship between the two SQL
tables. And I would need to query for that information in that table after
words.

=================

If I understand well, what you'd like to do is something like the Profile
service in ASP.NET 2.0. The Profile service can help store personal datas
(specific to a certain user) so that we can provide some customizable datas
for users( can work together with MembershipService...) Have you tried the
Profile service to see if it meet your requirement?

Here are some related reference on ASP.NET 2.0's profile service:

Hello,
Ok I have been this profile stuff somewhat working,
however it is not saving the profile info for each user right here is the
record of the two differnt users from the asp_profile table:
record 1 shippingtest user
{AF8020C2-4D36-47EE-B4EE-4D42AE080FD0}
PreferredBackgroundColor:B:0:187:<Binary> 11/15/2005 3:57:22 PM
record 2 djp user
{8DFE1B7D-2637-4DB8-862C-296F277BA77E}dbman_id_letter:S:0:1:PreferredBackgroundColor:B:0:187:dbman_user_password:S:1:4: QDP99 <Binary> 11/15/2005
3:55:20 PM

the page code is : ( i do use master pages)

Enter your preferred background color:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlColor" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>Aqua</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList><br />
<br />
Enter your dbman email letter(case sensitive):<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="dbmanletter" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<br />
Enter your dbman sales code:<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="dbmancode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<br />
<asp:button id="btnUpdatePreferences" runat="server" text="Click
to update your profile" onclick="btnUpdatePreferences_Click" />
<br />

The code behind is:

Partial Class MyProfile
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Sub btnUpdatePreferences_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
Profile.dbman_id_letter = dbmanletter.Text
Profile.dbman_user_password = dbmancode.Text
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.LocalPath)
End Sub

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
dbmancode.Text = Profile.dbman_user_password
dbmanletter.Text = Profile.dbman_id_letter
End Sub
End Class

I commented out this time because i am not sure yet and have not researched
yet how to put system.drawing in a code behind page thus i commented out
that line
'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor = Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)

for the djp user the stuff works file, but for the other shiptest users the
dbman letter and dbman code do not save

I really hope you expand on this prfile area in the future because I dont
see it being a viable for storeing a customers multiple shipping address
(unless it is because i have nto played with the seralization yet) and then
for creating reports such as mailing list using there address i see there has
to be alot of extra work splitting up the fields to pull the data directly
from the database for say a crystal report..

Hi Tdar,

Thanks for your further followup.
After viewing the code you provided and performing some tests on ourside,
here are some of my suggestions on this:

1. As for the ASP.NET Profiles, it is user specific, so please make sure
when you update the Profile , the current user has actually login the web
site. In other word, the current user is not under anonymous status. (We
can enable anonymousIdentify so as to enable anonymous user for profile
services....)

2. If #1 is ok. Then, we should make sure that each time after we set new
values on user's profile, we have actually update the Profile values into
the underlying persistent store (database....). Though we can set the
Profile service to update Automatically as below:

<system.web>
<profile enabled="true" automaticSaveEnabled="true" >

this only works when our page is normally ends, there is no other code
which end the page request in the middle. And in your code you use
Response.Redirect, it may cause the Profile values haven't been updated to
db, so to make sure this, I suggest you call the "Profile.Save()" before
you call Response.Redirect, like below:

=========
Sub btnUpdatePreferences_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
'Profile.PreferredBackgroundColor =
Color.FromName(ddlColor.SelectedValue)
Profile.dbman_id_letter = dbmanletter.Text
Profile.dbman_user_password = dbmancode.Text

Profile.Save()


Response.Redirect(Request.Url.LocalPath)
End Sub
=========

This works well on my side. BTW, as for System.Drawing.Color, you need to
reference the System.Drawing.dll in your web application first, then we can
access the System.Drawing Namespace.... Also, we can define the Color
propety in profile like:

<group name="Favorite" >
<add name="Color" type="System.Drawing.Color"
serializeAs="Binary"/>
.................


In addition, to use CustomClass in Profile, we can just define a custom
class(better to make it as [Serializable]) and deinfe it in profile like;

<add name="MyUnit" readOnly="false" type="CustomProfileClasses.MyUnit"
serializeAs="Binary"/>

=======code for custom class=====
[Serializable]
public class MyUnit
{
public string Name = string.Empty;
public int Count =0;
public bool Enabled = false;
}
===============


Then, we can access the custom class properties in Profile, just as other
buildin type properteis, e.g:

Profile.MyUnit.Name = "name"
Profile.MyUnit.Count = 3


Hope helps. Thanks,

Hi

I was seeing the post and got my attention coz I would like to know how
to do that.

My Database has many tables related to mey PersonalData (I can shift it
to the providers table) and they have forein keys that point to the
PersonalData table. What I want to know is how to get an ID (UserID or
whatever) that can connect all the tables together.

Thanks in advance
