ASP.NET MVC Membership, Get new UserID
- by Vishal Bharakhda
I am trying to register a new user and also understand how to get the new userID so i can start creating my own user tables with a userID mapping to the asp.net membership user table.
Below is my code:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Register(string userName, string email, string position, string password, string confirmPassword)
{
ViewData["PasswordLength"] = MembershipService.MinPasswordLength;
ViewData["position"] = new SelectList(GetDeveloperPositionList());
if (ValidateRegistration(userName, email, position, password, confirmPassword))
{
// Attempt to register the user
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus = MembershipService.CreateUser(userName, password, email);
if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
{
FormsAuth.SignIn(userName, false /* createPersistentCookie */);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("_FORM", ErrorCodeToString(createStatus));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View();
}
I've done some research and many sites inform me to use Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey; but this throws an error as Membership is NULL.
I placed this line of code just above "return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");" within the if statement.
Please can someone advise me on this...
Thanks in advance
