Changing a filename of an uploaded file

STEVE.com — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I have a photo sharing site and I'm allowing users to upload photos. I have the form set up but I have a filename field that the user types in the filename for me to later point to that filename using databinding on a separate page.

The problem is that if user 1 has a photo named img3 and user2 has a photo named img3 they would get overwrited. I would like for when I upload a photo it changes the name of the file to something I define (i.e. img001, img002, img003, etc...)

Also if there is a way to upload certain photos to certain folders depending on the user, but if not I would like to focus mostly on the first questions.

Thanks,
Steve

Security - Storing user data

magicjoef — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hi All,

I am considering making an application that allows people to sign up to a site and become members. I am looking into using the standard ASP.NET membership system (adding it to my existing database) and also connecting a couple of extra tables in the database to store more detailed profile information such as postal address etc.

However, I would like to know how secure this would be? I haven't dealt with an application that stores members before. Should I be encrypting all data? Would this slow down the application to a crawl every time I try to access my data?

Any tips/articles to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Authentication in MVC

joaoluizbt — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hi friends,

I need to manage the user's access in the system, but the standart MVC authentication just register and make login.

I need to restrict the access of some users that can't make inputs or delete informations, and still some users can see some information and other users can see other things.

I have an user table, but i cant find the MVC user's table to use it.

What i have to do?

Thanks.

Retriving groups a user is a member of using input from a form

y2gray — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've made an .asp webpage where a user inputs a user name and the code returns the groups that that user is a member of.

The only problem is, the code only works when I enter a group name (i.e. it will return groups that a group is member of), but not a user name.

The code is below. It starts searching at the root of my DC and searches for every object type, so I'm fairly certain that isn't the problem.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there, got a little problem... oh and I'm new

Monoko — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Hey everyone

I'm working on a chat made in asp.net right now, but I got a little problem.

I took the basic code for the chat from here <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2007/03/01/1785048.aspx">chat</a> so I could see how it works and then I would add my own functionality to it. But I soon realized that this code was quite different from what I used to work with. Now I'm stuck since I dont really understand how this code works and where to add my own code.

For example:

    Public Shared Function ActiveChatters() As Dictionary(Of Guid, Chatter)
        Dim retval As Dictionary(Of Guid, Chatter) = New Dictionary(Of Guid, Chatter)

        If (Not (HttpContext.Current.Application("Chatters")) Is Nothing) Then

            Dim chatters As List(Of Chatter) = CType(HttpContext.Current.Application("Chatters"), List(Of Chatter))

            For Each chatter As Chatter In chatters
                retval.Add(chatter.Id, chatter)
            Next

        End If

        Return retval

    End Function

I think this must be the function that lists the users in the userlist but it's hard for me to understand what exactly it does since I never used some of the classes that are used here.

A function in the global.asax file adds some (unreal) users when the page is loaded, I understand how the function works but where do I use it so I can add users with a login function, so as soon as they log in, the username is send to the chat and added to the userlist.

Could anyone explain this to me or give me a hint?

Thanks

Monoko

Cannot create users or roles

jimbojonesowns — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and have installed MySQL Connector/Net 5.2.5.0. I am using Windows Vista Business 32bit.

I have used this article http://blog.nolanbailey.com/2008/03/08/mysql-aspnet-membership-and-role-provider/194 (and several others) to properly setup my web.config. The autogenerateschema parameter is set to "true".

I am using a shared hosting provider (www.hosteurope.de) that runs a MySQL 5 database.

When starting the ASP.NET Configuration the my_aspnet_xxx tables were created successfully.

When I click "Create Roles" an error occurs: " Unknown column 'r.name' in 'field list'" So I searched the web and found in this article http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,210186,210537 that i have to rename the colum "Rolename" into "name" in the table my_aspnet_Roles. So I did. Now I can see the page to manage roles.
When I want to create a role I get the error "Column count doesn't match value count at row 1".

I cannot create users too. When I try to create a user i get something like "Your account has not been created. Repeat the process." (i get a german error message)

I guess there went someting wrong with the automatic table creation since the MSSQL-Tables inside Visual Studio have different colum-names than the created mysql-tables.

here is my web.config: http://uploaded.to/?id=xq15zd

here are screenshots of the structure of the autogenerated mysql-tables:

Strange problem of newly added roles not being able to log in (custom membership provider)

magicjoef — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Hi, I am having a very frustrating problem!

When I add a new role and user to my ASP.NET membership scheme, it is not being granted access to the secure section of my site. I don't get any error messages, the page seems to flicker like it is refreshing, and the login boxes just go blank. It does detect if I enter in details incorrect.

To test it I created a user in an existing role that I set up initially that works. No problem. I then create a new role and give it access to the secure section of my site, and when I move the user into the new role, no luck.

I am using a custom membership provider, but it worked when I first set it up, and I can't work out what has changed.

The new users/roles are created properly in the database, and web.config file in the secure section of my site also shows to be updated correctly.

Has anybody encountered a problem like this before, any help or hints much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Deleting Users through a webform

magicjoef — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I have a create user wizard to allow for the creation of new users on my site. I have also built an admin area on the site to manage various bits and pieces, but I can't work out how I can delete users.

I thought I might be able to do it using gridview, but when I try and turn on Insert, Update and Delete on my sqldatasource for the asp.net users table, it won't let me.

Any ideas why this might be happening, or if there is another simple way to do it?

Many thanks in advance
