POMVC 5 custom user

copied!<p>So I have been playing with MVC 5 recently and I love it. I have come across something that I thought would be simple to do, but has ended up eating into hours of my day and I am none the wiser.</p> <p>Basically I want to extend the <strong>User</strong> model by adding my own properties. I did this:</p> <pre><code>public class IdentityUser : User { public IdentityUser() //: this(String.Empty) { } public IdentityUser(string userName) : base(userName) { } public string UserId { get; set; } public string CompanyId { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredTitle")] public string Title { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredFirstName")] public string Forename { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredLastName")] public string Surname { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredUserName")] public string UserName { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredEmail")] public string Email { get; set; } public string JobTitle { get; set; } public string Telephone { get; set; } public string Mobile { get; set; } public string Photo { get; set; } public string LinkedIn { get; set; } public string Twitter { get; set; } public string Facebook { get; set; } public string Google { get; set; } public string Bio { get; set; } public string CompanyName { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredCredentialId")] public string CredentialId { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Resources), ErrorMessageResourceName = "RequiredSecurityCode")] public string Code { get; set; } public bool IsLockedOut { get; set; } public bool IsApproved { get; set; } public DateTime LastLoginDate { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Can only edit own assets")] public bool UserCanEditOwn { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Can edit assets")] public bool UserCanEdit { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Can download assets")] public bool UserCanDownload { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Require approval to upload assets")] public bool UserRequiresApproval { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Can approve assets")] public bool UserCanApprove { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Can synchronise assets")] public bool UserCanSync { get; set; } public bool AgreedTerms { get; set; } } public class IdentityUserContext : IdentityStoreContext { public IdentityUserContext(DbContext db) : base(db) { this.Users = new UserStore<IdentityUser>(this.DbContext); } } public class IdentityUserDbContext : IdentityDbContext<IdentityUser, UserClaim, UserSecret, UserLogin, Role, UserRole> { } </code></pre> <p><strong>User</strong> is the default User class in EF </p> <pre><code>namespace Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework { public class User : IUser { public User(); public User(string userName); [Key] public string Id { get; set; } public string UserName { get; set; } } } </code></pre> <p>I have inherited it because I read somewhere that you have to do that if you want to use a custom class. Anyway, I then changed my Register model to look like this:</p> <pre><code>public class RegisterViewModel { [Required] [Display(Name = "User name")] public string UserName { get; set; } [Required] [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Password")] public string Password { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Confirm password")] [Compare("Password", ErrorMessage = "The password and confirmation password do not match.")] public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } [Required] public string Forename { get; set; } [Required] public string Surname { get; set; } [Required] public string Email { get; set; } public string CompanyName { get; set; } [Required] public string CredentialId { get; set; } [Required] public string Code { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>and the method to look like this:</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] [AllowAnonymous] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { try { // Create a profile, password, and link the local login before signing in the user var companyId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); var user = new IdentityUser( model.UserName) { CompanyId = companyId, Title = model.Title, Forename = model.Forename, Surname = model.Surname, Email = model.Email, CompanyName = model.CompanyName, CredentialId = model.CredentialId }; if (await IdentityStore.CreateLocalUser(user, model.Password)) { await AuthenticationManager.SignIn(HttpContext, user.Id, isPersistent: false); return RedirectToAction("Setup", new { id = user.CompanyId }); } else { ModelState.AddModelError("", "Failed to register user name: " + model.UserName); } } catch (IdentityException e) { ModelState.AddModelError("", e.Message); } } // If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form return View(model); } </code></pre> <p>When I try to register I get this error:</p> <pre><code>Mapping and metadata information could not be found for EntityType 'TestProject.Models.IdentityUser'. </code></pre> <p>I can't figure out why.</p> <p>Am I missing a step or something?</p> <p>any help would be greatly appreciated</p>
