NEW POST: Can't send the class over WCF

Calin — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:34:49 GMT

Hi,

Thank you for this useful piece of software.

I have a small issue, I can seem to be able to send the WebProfile class over WCF, I suppose because it is not serializable, any chance this class will become serializable ?

Thank you,
Calin,

NEW POST: Web Site with Web App sub-application & single sign-on

mcgmatt — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:01:57 GMT

I have FirstName and LastName defined as custom profile properties in the Web.config, and the values are stored in the aspnet_Profile table. I have a Web Site project in the root, and a Web Application project in a virtual directory, with <authentication> and <machineKey> set up in the Web.config so signing in to the root signs in allows the user to remain signed in for the virtual directory app with the same FormsAuth cookie. The <membership>, <profile>, and <roleManager> elements in the Web.config are also identical for the Web Site project and the Web Application project.

The WebProfile class appears to be built out as it should be for my Web Application project, with the FirstName and LastName properties. But those properties' values are not being set to the values from the aspnet_Profile table. WebProfile.cs calls ProfileBase.GetPropertyValue("FirstName"), but nothing is returned. The LastActivityDate and LastUpdatedDate properties are also set to 1/1/01, not the actual profile values. Is there more built-in Web Site project code that needs to be added to the Web Application to get the data from the profile?

// Web Site project
ProfileCommon profile = Profile.GetProfile( Page.User.Identity.Name );
if( profile != null )
{
int propCount = profile.PropertyValues.Count; // 2
string fn = profile.FirstName; // "John"
string ln = profile.LastName; // "Doe"
}

// Web Application project
WebProfile profile = WebProfile.GetProfile( Page.User.Identity.Name );
if( profile != null )
{
int propCount = profile.PropertyValues.Count; // 0
string fn = profile.FirstName; // ""
string ln = profile.LastName; // ""
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

NEW POST: A bit of cleanup

Is it possible to make the generated code use tabs for indenting, instead of spaces? Spaces are so 1998 :P

Also, with the using statements at the top of the page, you don't need to write out full namespaces like System.Web.Profile.ProfileBase throughout the code.

Thanks!

Yes, I need the Membership.GetAllUsers() too.

NEW POST: "BuildWebProfile" task failed unexpectedly...

I installed the profile builder 1.3 . By default it is installe in c:\Program files\MSBuild\WebPRofileBuilder. Now I am following the documetnation (.rtf) file to create an ASP.NET Web Application project. In step 7 I pressed the Refresh once where I get this warning:

"BuildWebProfile" task failed unexpectedly" excepton. System.ArgumentNullException: Sting reference not set to an instance of String.

The second time I press Refresh, I see warning - "BuildWebProfile" task failed".

I am using VS 2008.

NEW POST: namespace=""

MADCookie — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:48:03 GMT

I would prefer the generated class file to NOT have a namespace notation. When I use the following config, it gives me a namespace of my web project. Maybe I'm not understanding a deeper notation.

What I'd like to see is setting nameSpace to empty would make the generated class file not have a namespace declaration.

Thanks
Mike

I have exactly the same questions and would really appreciate an answer if anybody has one. Thanks!

NEW POST: Can You add new method with getting user by GUID?

GrZeCh — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:38:20 GMT

and maybe new method which returns all users just like Membership.GetAllUsers() does

NEW POST: Can You add new method with getting user by GUID?

GrZeCh — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:58:40 GMT

Question like in title.

Something like

var user = WebProfile.GetProfile(new Guid("...GUID HERE..."))

Thanks in advance

NEW POST: WebProfile versus ProfileCommon

john_cade — Tue, 06 May 2008 03:55:43 GMT

I just performed my first Web Site to Web App conversion, and I very much appreciated the discussion and development effort of the Web Profile Builder tool. I've downloaded the docs and the examples. Good stuff.

My question is: One of the advantages of Profiles in the first place is being able to reference them by "Profile.xxxxx". Since ProfileCommon is generated on the fly on a web SITE and not generated at all in web APP, why not duplicate the generated code, ie, reproduce ProfileCommon? I also noticed that WebProfile is not inheriting ProfileBase as ProfileCommon does.

Please enlighten me as to the finer points I'm missing. There's gotta be something else missing preventing ProfileCommon from being reproduced(?)
