CREATED ISSUE: Support profile code generation for using user classes in external libraries

RobertSchaftlein — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:31:50 GMT

e.g. A web project with the namespace MyNamespace.Web exists. This is where the UserProfile class is generated and used.
If I also have a separate library in the solution with the namespace MyNamespace.Business and I want to store a class from that library in the WebUserProfile, this is currently not possible with the automatically generated code.
<profile enabled="true" >
<properties>
<add name="CustomClass" type="MyNamespace.Business.ClassName, MyNamespace.Business" />
</properties>
</profile>

Currently, the code that is generated in the UserProfile.cs file needs to be modified to add a "using MyNamespace.Business" at the top of the class.
If this is not done, a compiler error stating "The type name 'Business' does not exist in the type 'MyNamespace.Web'"

Comments: I am getting the same error. I followed the documentation (.rtf file). In step 7, when I hit refresh twice I get this. When I add sample code then of I get Profile not found error. What am I missing?

i have used this part of code in my project just to verify.
it was looking working but found one error.
Please, look into it and if you have any suggestions or solution then post it here.

COMMENTED ISSUE: WebProfile.Current should not be a singleton

GotzBoost — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 10:48:48 GMT

The optimization you did for release 1.2.0 basically made the WebProfile.Current property a singleton pattern. Whomever's profile is accessed first through the WebProfile.Current property, is subsequently used in all user sessions. Lose the static WebProfile _current; caching and you'll fix the problem. It's un-usable as-is.

To see this problem, I have a website using forms authentication and profiling enabled. In one of my pages I store the user's preference for number of rows displayed on a grid. The default is 20. I login using IE as User1 and change my profile default from 20 to 10 and the grid responds by displaying only 10 rows. I now login using FireFox (so I can login as a different user simultaneously) as User2. I navigate to the page with the grid. I am expecting to see the default value of 20 rows displayed but I get only 10. As User2 I change the default to 100. Then switch to the IE browser where I'm logged in as User1. I refresh the page and the grid now displays 100 rows. Both (different) user sessions are accessing the same user profile through the WebProfile.Current property.

Comments: Just thought about using the cache, if you do so be sure to store it with users id/username as the key. Cache is also shared among sessions.

Comments: Incorrect, it needs to be a singleton; it just needs to be fixed for web usage. In a normal app this would work fine, but I forget that a static object in a web app is shared among all sessions because they are the same app. Do not revert back, let’s just fix this. Get rid of the static object and store it in the Cache, session state, or some other consistent state. Otherwise you will just be creating new objects upon each call, wasting cpu and memory. John

CREATED ISSUE: Auto check-out WebProfile.cs and WebProfileBuilder.user when using Source Control

MadDruid — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:04:44 GMT

I think that it would be a nice feature to auto check-out WebProfile.cs and WebProfileBuilder.user when using Source Control indeed of doing it manually every time.

CREATED ISSUE: Profile Properties - Support for Generics

tsmyrnios — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:32:22 GMT

Currently, the WebProfileBuilder v1.3 doesn't seem to properly support Generics. For example, if you use System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[string]], the WebProfile.cs (for C#) file generates incorrectly. If you use System.Collections.Generic.List`1[string], WebProfile.cs gets generated properly, but results in runtime configuration errors when attempting to get or set the property.

CLOSED FEATURE: Generate profile as partial class?

robolize — Mon, 05 May 2008 07:54:34 GMT

I'd like to have some properties on the profile that aren't directly generated from the config file. You could support this cleanly by following the same pattern as Microsoft's designers and code generators if you generate the WebProfile class as a partial class. That would let me keep my customizations that shouldn't be regenerated in a separate file that wouldn't be overwritten by the generated code.

Comments: Fixed in version 1.3.
