Get ASP.NET MVC Membership

Question

I am writing a new application in ASP.NET MVC. I created my own MemberhipProvider that stores membership data in my own db schema. It all works, but how do I get a member in my application so that I can get the user key of the logged in user and load the model classes related to this user?

Answer 1

You can use the following:

using System.Web.Security; var user = Membership.GetUser(); 

Answer 2

Use the static Membership class to retrieve a user using GetUser . You need to configure the provider in the web.config file. When you log in, you get a username, presumably a text field in your form. After logging in, you can get it from the user property of the controller.

 string username = this.User.Identity.Name; MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser( username );
