AspNet Identity 2.0 Extensible Project Template

This project expands upon the work done by the ASP.NET Identity Team in the Identity Samples project. The goal is to provide a basic project template wherein the core identity Model classes are easily extensible without messing about with the generic type arguments.

While extending the basic ApplicationUser class provided in the original Identity Samples project was always relatively straightforward, Extending the Role implementation required some significant work.

In this project, you can simply add additional properties and/or methods to any of the Identity Model classes as defined in the IdentityModels.cs file.

For more information, see:

• ASP.NET MVC and Identity 2.0: Understanding the Basics

• ASP.NET Identity 2.0: Customizing Users and Roles

The code in this repo is for a project where the Identity models use string keys. If you prefer integer keys (and database PK fields) see this repo instead:

AspNet Identity 2.0 Extensible Project Template (integer keys)

There is a lot of good information here about how things work under the hood with the generic types, even if you don;t plan to use the integer keys:

each line of above Register method that exist 'RoleManager' word I'm getting compile time error as below

   // POST: /Account/Register
    [HttpPost]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model, HttpPostedFileBase upload, params string[] selectedRoles)
    {

        try
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var user = new ApplicationUser { UserName = model.UserName, Email = model.Email };                      


                var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);

                if (result.Succeeded)
                {
                    //Add User to the selected Roles 
                    if (selectedRoles != null)
                    {
                        var addroles = await UserManager.AddToRolesAsync(user.Id, selectedRoles);
                        if (!addroles.Succeeded)
                        {
                            ModelState.AddModelError("", result.Errors.First());
                            ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(await RoleManager.Roles.ToListAsync("Name", "Name"));
                            return View();
                        }
                    }

                }

                else
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("", result.Errors.First());
                    ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(RoleManager.Roles, "Name", "Name");
                    return View();
                }

                return RedirectToAction("Index");
                // AddErrors(result);
            }

        }

        // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
        catch (RetryLimitExceededException /* dex */)
        {
            //Log the error (uncomment dex variable name and add a line here to write a log.
            ModelState.AddModelError("", "Unable to save changes. Try again, and if the problem persists see your system administrator.");
        }

        ViewBag.RoleId = new SelectList(RoleManager.Roles, "Name", "Name");

        return View(model);
    }

Using the generic type 'RoleManager' requires 2 type arguments

which means I'm getting 3 compile time errors in above method.

ApplicationUser must be convertible to microsoft.aspnet.identity.framework.identityuser inorder to use it as parameter TUser

Thank you so much for the template. I am not very experienced program however manage to use the template. I am trying to import users information from an old project using SqlMembership, I need to use SQLPasswordHasher which I got from this example: http://www.asp.net/identity/overview/migrations/migrating-an-existing-website-from-sql-membership-to-aspnet-identity.

I am trying to add UserManger:
public MyUserManager ()
: base(new UserStore(new ApplicationDbContext()))
{
this.PasswordHasher = new SQLPasswordHasher();
}
I get the above error.
When I change the public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser I don't get this error

I would appreciate your suggestions.
