Problem: I created a custom profile object described by Joel here . Then I used the Jeremy method ( here ) to extend the custom profile to allow me to use the generate user and set these values. Then I created a ViewModel to display Memeberhip information and profile information so that the user can update their membership information (email) and profile information. ** The view displays all the fields that I entered in the updated information in the view, and click "Save", where I get the following error.
System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyNotFoundException: Property property 'FirstName' not found. **
Here is my user profile object (model):
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using System.Web.Profile; using System.Web.Security; namespace NDAC.Models { public class ProfileInformation : ProfileBase { static public ProfileInformation CurrentUser { get { if (Membership.GetUser() != null) { return (ProfileInformation)(ProfileBase.Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName)); } else { return null; } } } public virtual string FirstName { get { return ((string)(base["FirstName"])); } set { base["FirstName"] = value; Save(); } } public virtual string LastName { get { return ((string)(base["LastName"])); } set { base["LastName"] = value; Save(); } } public string Street { get { return ((string)(base["Street"])); } set { base["Street"] = value; Save(); } } public string Street2 { get { return ((string)(base["Street2"])); } set { base["Street2"] = value; Save(); } } public string City { get { return ((string)(base["City"])); } set { base["City"] = value; Save(); } } public string State { get { return ((string)(base["State"])); } set { base["State"] = value; Save(); } } public string ZipCode { get { return ((string)(base["ZipCode"])); } set { base["ZipCode"] = value; Save(); } } public string PhoneNumber { get { return ((string)(base["PhoneNumber"])); } set { base["PhoneNumber"] = value; Save(); } } public string SemesterID { get { return ((string)(base["SemesterID"])); } set { base["SemesterID"] = value; Save(); } } static public ProfileInformation GetProfile(string username) { return Create(username) as ProfileInformation; } internal static ProfileInformation NewUser { get { return System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Profile as ProfileInformation; } } } }
Here is the GetProcess UserProfile method:
[Authorize] public ActionResult UserProfile() { string id = User.Identity.Name.ToString(); MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(id); var model = new UserViewModel(); UserInformation userInf = new UserInformation(); userInf.Username = user.UserName; userInf.Email = user.Email; ProfileInformation currentProfile = ProfileInformation.GetProfile(user.UserName); model.Profile = currentProfile; model.UserInf = userInf; return View(model); }
As you can see, I am using the View Model to display the view. View Model:
public class UserViewModel { public UserInformation UserInf{ get; set; } public ProfileInformation Profile { get; set; } }
And finally, the HttpPost method for updating UserProfile:
[Authorize] [HttpPost] public ActionResult UserProfile(UserViewModel model) { ProfileInformation currentProfile = ProfileInformation.GetProfile(User.Identity.Name.ToString()); ProfileInformation.CurrentUser.FirstName = model.Profile.FirstName; currentProfile.LastName = model.Profile.LastName; currentProfile.Street = model.Profile.Street; currentProfile.Street2 = model.Profile.Street2; currentProfile.City = model.Profile.City; currentProfile.State= model.Profile.State; currentProfile.ZipCode = model.Profile.ZipCode; currentProfile.PhoneNumber = model.Profile.PhoneNumber; currentProfile.Save(); MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name.ToString()); user.Email = model.UserInf.Email; Membership.UpdateUser(user); TempData["SuccessMessage"] = "Your Profile information has been saved"; ViewBag.Title = "My Profile"; return RedirectToAction("ProfileUpdated"); }
The problem is that I cannot figure out where the error is coming from. The form displays the input of reliable information, and then they tell me: "The property of the settings" FirstName "was not found." It seems like UserViewModel is trying to update ProfileInformation.cs (a custom profile object), but it says that it cannot find the object ... I think because it does not have a profile to update ... but I can’t get to the error before what he will publish ... so frustrating! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to check this out.
I will also leave you with my Register method, which successfully uses the user profile object and even updates the name property to "ScoobyDoo" for testing purposes :)
[HttpPost] public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { // Attempt to register the user MembershipCreateStatus createStatus = MembershipService.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, model.SecretQuestion, model.SecretAnswer); if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success) { FormsService.SignIn(model.UserName, false /* createPersistentCookie */); Roles.AddUserToRole(model.UserName, "Student"); ProfileInformation.NewUser.Initialize(model.UserName, true); ProfileInformation.NewUser.Save(); string currentSemesterID = CurrentSemester; ProfileInformation profile = ProfileInformation.GetProfile(model.UserName); profile.SemesterID = currentSemesterID; profile.FirstName = "ScoobyDoo"; return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } else { ModelState.AddModelError("", AccountValidation.ErrorCodeToString(createStatus)); } } // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form ViewBag.PasswordLength = MembershipService.MinPasswordLength; return View(model); }
