App_Code in Web Application Project cause custom profile class casting error.

maxi_ng — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I spend two days on this problem and finally nailed it.

But the mystery remain unsolved.

If I put my custom profile class inside App_Code folder, casting HttpContext.Current.Profile into the custom class will throw casting exception.

But if I move it out of App_Code, it cast just fine.

I know WAP shouldn't have App_Code, but I suppose I can use that name or whatever name for my folder, right?

Why is there a trap? How that happens? Does anyone know?

Trying to display profile properties as label.text isn't working. Why?

penlandt — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work? I have confirmed that each profile property referenced in this code contains a value (and I can see the value when I step through the code) but only the last value (Preferred Name) displays on my form. I've been pulling my hair out over this all day and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help I can get.

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        SetProfileValues()
    End Sub

    Private Sub SetProfileValues()
        With Me
            .lblTitle.Text = Profile.Title
            .lblGivenNm.Text = Profile.GivenName
            .lblFamilyNm.Text = Profile.FamilyName
            .lblBirthdate.Text = Profile.Birthdate
            .lblNameSuffix.Text = Profile.NameSuffix
            .lblPreferredNm.Text = Profile.PreferredName
        End With
    End Sub

Custom profile provider: is it possible to manually set the parameters being passed to GetPropertyValues(SettingsContext context, SettingsPropertyCollection collection)

Rotem H — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a Custom Profile Provider, and it would be useful if I could modify

the parameters being passed toGetPropertyValues(SettingsContext context, SettingsPropertyCollection collection)

so they would contain additional information that would be used to determine how the data is stored.

The use case for it is that I would like each user to have 1..n item lists which will be persisted to the database

but will be stored in different rows. So when I make a call :

Profile.ItemList = ...

ideally I would like to somehow pass the identity of the current item list being used by the user, to the profile provider.

Is there a way to set the context or the collection parameters before they are passed to the profile provider ?

iPrincipal or Profile Provider

nsalcedo — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I'm trying to add additional user specific fields/columns in the database (e.g. company, occupation, etc).

I was going to use the Profile Provider since I am already utilizing the Membership and Role providers.

Then I read about this Principal (Identity) Object.

What is the difference between using iPrincipal or Profile Provider?

Thanks in advance.

Issues With Profiles on IE8 only

VeX_Harbinger — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Howdy All,

I'm having an odd issue with Profiles on IE8 only and so far cannot find any info on the topic.

This issue is only occuring in my Live env as well and not in my dev env. You can see the issue here;

http://www.tripatourium.com/

If you click on either of the prints on the right hand side then, click on add to cart under the large picture.
You will see the cart price (on the upper right) now reflects the change.
Then if you click on the other print (not the same, I have to fix that pathing) you will see the cart value is now empty again.

This does not occur in Moz or Chrome or in IE8 when testing locally.

Any info would be great.

Thanks,

Alex

Re: Account Page

Yanayaya — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Thank you for the advice, this has sorted the error message. Although I now have the problem that the Account page pulls absolutely no data across from the users logged in profile. As stated the idea was to give a user an account page that displayed there username, email, comments etc etc.

I have setup the scenarios as follows.

 <profile enabled="true">
        <properties>
            <add name="StaffName" type="System.String"/>
            <group name="Core"/>
        </properties>
    </profile>

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="myaccount.aspx.vb" Inherits="_myaccount" %>
<asp:Content ID="intro" ContentPlaceHolderID="content" Runat="server">
    <div>
    <p>You are logged in as <strong><asp:LoginName ID="AccountLoginName" runat="server" /></strong></p>
    <asp:ChangePassword ID="AccountChangePassword" runat="server"></asp:ChangePassword>
    
<legend>Name:</legend>
<asp:TextBox ID="StaffNameTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                 
</div>
</asp:Content>

Imports System
Imports System.Web.Security
Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Partial Class _myaccount
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            StaffNameTextBox.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(Profile.StaffName)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

I also have a table adapter in my DAL that selects things like Username, Email, Comments etc from the standard ASPNET login system.
So how can I tie this together to make it pull user info into an account page for the user to see and if required...update?

UI web page to edit Profile properties for a User?

TheRealMattSlay — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Is there not any kind of maintenance UI page to edit and maintaine the Profile properties of a User (I'm using VS2008 and the Web Application template), like in the WSAT Web Site Administratration Tool where you already can edit the basic Membership and Role properties for a User? I'm using the basic SQL Express data tables and the basic Membership and Role providers, and now I want to begin using the Profile provider to store and access additional properties for each User I create an account for. For instance, when I create a new User and assign them to a Role(s) on my web app, I use the WSAT tool, and now I also need to set certain Profile properties for them too. Is the only way to set these properties is programmatically? Surely there is an Admininstrative type of UI page for this so you can quickly view and edit Profile properties for a User.

Re: Profile Seems to be caching

Erik_with_a_K — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Supergriff, did you find a solution to your profile-based shopping cart value not updating post?

I seem to have the same problem with profile values. When ever I update a value that is stored in a profile, it seems to take an additional page refresh to display the latest value. For example, I have page that updates a user's balance. I also have a profile field named UserBalance that I use to display the user's balance in various pages. When I use the page to update a user's balance (which calls a SQL stored procedure that updates the value in the db), everything works fine except that on my confirmation page, Profile.UserBalance returns the old balance--not the new balance. As soon as I refresh the page or view another page, the new balance is correctly displayed.

I attempted to "re-load" the user profile using Profile.GetProfile(User.Identity.Name), but that doesn't work.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

-Erik

Profile Class Serialization issue (SQL Server Session)

ram007 — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hi, I am trying to move a web application session from InProc to Sql Server. We are getting the following error:

"[SerializationException: Type 'ProfileCommon' in Assembly 'App_Code.2z7l-uzj, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.] "

Then we created a custom profile class (inherits with ProfileBase class) and marked it as Serializable and also marked all the classes as Serializable.

Now we are getting "[SerializationException: Type 'ProfileBase' in Assembly 'App_Code.2z7l-uzj, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.] "

We are not storing any objects in the Profile, we are storing simple strings in profile. Please let me know if anyone faced the same scenario and has solution.

Thanks

Ram.
