In this article, we will learn how to list all users with Associated Roles in ASP.NET MVC 5 using Identity. ASP.NET MVC 5 does not come with an inbuilt feature to list users with associated roles by default. However ASP.NET MVC have inbuilt UserManager, SignManager and RoleManager to assist this.

We need this feature in each of our applications as users are to be maintained along with their associated roles. We can apply a number of ideas to do this. In this article, we will learn a very simple way to list users with their associated RoleName as in the figure below.

Step 1
Create a View Model as Users-in-Role_ViewModel
public class Users_in_Role_ViewModel 
    { 
        public string UserId { get; set; } 
        public string Username { get; set; } 
        public string Email { get; set; } 
        public string Role { get; set; } 
    } 

Step 2
Add a new method called UsersWithRoles inside ManageUsersController and add the following codes.
public ActionResult UsersWithRoles() 
        { 
            var usersWithRoles = (from user in context.Users 
                                  select new 
                                  { 
                                      UserId = user.Id,                                       
                                      Username = user.UserName, 
                                      Email = user.Email, 
                                      RoleNames = (from userRole in user.Roles 
                                                   join role in context.Roles on userRole.RoleId  
                                                   equals role.Id 
                                                   select role.Name).ToList() 
                                  }).ToList().Select(p => new Users_in_Role_ViewModel() 
  
                                  { 
                                      UserId = p.UserId, 
                                      Username = p.Username, 
                                      Email = p.Email, 
                                      Role = string.Join(",", p.RoleNames) 
                                  }); 
  
  
            return View(usersWithRoles); 
        } 

Note - context.Users represents the table AspNetUsers which has navigation property roles which represent the AspNetUserInRoles table.

Step 3
Now, let’s add a View of UsersWithRoles method of ManageUsersController.
@model IEnumerable<MVC5Demo.UI.ViewModels.Users_in_Role_ViewModel> 
@{ 
    ViewBag.Title = "Users With Roles"; 
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; 
} 
  
<div class="panel panel-primary"> 
    <div class="panel-heading"> 
        <h3 class="box-title"> 
            <b>Users with Roles</b> 
        </h3> 
    </div> 
    <!-- /.box-header --> 
    <div class="panel-body"> 
        <table class="table table-hover table-bordered table-condensed" id="UsersWithRoles"> 
            <thead> 
                <tr> 
                    <td><b>Username</b></td> 
                    <td><b>Email</b></td> 
                    <td><b>Roles</b></td> 
                </tr> 
            </thead> 
            @foreach (var user in Model) 
            { 
                <tr> 
                    <td>@user.Username</td> 
                    <td>@user.Email</td> 
                    <td>@user.Role</td> 
                     
                </tr> 
            } 
        </table> 
    </div> 
  
    <div class="panel-footer"> 
        <p class="box-title"><b>Total Users till @String.Format("{0 : dddd, MMMM d, yyyy}", DateTime.Now)  : </b><span class="label label-primary">@Model.Count()</span></p> 
    </div> 
</div> 
  
  
@section scripts{ 
    <script> 
        $(function () { 
            $('#UsersWithRoles').DataTable({ 
                "paging": true, 
                "lengthChange": true, 
                "searching": true, 
                "ordering": true, 
                "info": true, 
                "autoWidth": true 
            }); 
        }); 
    </script> 
} 

Now, the above method and View will return the users to their roles.

This post will tell you about Dynamic And Friendly URL Using ASP.NET MVC. Dynamic URL is a great feature working with MVC. Friendly URLs are even better. The following approach, I think, is the best way to work with friendly URL. So, let's define some premises. The URLs must be stored in a Repository. This means, I want to change and create new URLs in my repository. One or more URLs can be pointed to the same Controller/Action. This means, I want to have alias for URLs;
If a URL does not exist in my Repository, try to resolve it using MVC Controller/Action default behavior. It means, the MVC default behavior will still work;
The URL cannot contain an ID at the end. It means that the last segment of those URLs can be a long ID number.

First of all, MVC does not have a built-in feature for dynamic and friendly URLs. You must write your own custom code.

For solution, we will need the following.

• An MVC project;
• A class to handle route requests;
• A route repository;
• Controllers and Views;

PS-  I will not use a database to store those URLs but I will use the repository pattern and dependency resolver to configure it. So, you can create a database repository in future.

Class that identifies a URL -

Handlers/UrlHandler.cs
public sealed class UrlHandler { 
public static UrlRouteData GetRoute(string url) { 
    url = url ? ? "/"; 
    url = url == "/" ? "" : url; 
    url = url.ToLower(); 

    UrlRouteData urlRoute = null; 

    using(var repository = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService < IRouteRepository > ()) { 
        var routes = repository.Find(url); 
        var route = routes.FirstOrDefault(); 
        if (route != null) { 
            route.Id = GetIdFromUrl(url); 
            urlRoute = route; 
            urlRoute.Success = true; 
        } else { 
            route = GetControllerActionFromUrl(url); 
            urlRoute = route; 
            urlRoute.Success = false; 
        } 
    } 

    return urlRoute; 
} 

private static RouteData GetControllerActionFromUrl(string url) { 
    var route = new RouteData(); 

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) { 
        var segmments = url.Split('/'); 
        if (segmments.Length >= 1) { 
            route.Id = GetIdFromUrl(url); 
            route.Controller = segmments[0]; 
            route.Action = route.Id == 0 ? (segmments.Length >= 2 ? segmments[1] : route.Action) : route.Action; 
        } 
    } 

    return route; 
} 

private static long GetIdFromUrl(string url) { 
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) { 
        var segmments = url.Split('/'); 
        if (segmments.Length >= 1) { 
            var lastSegment = segmments[segmments.Length - 1]; 
            long id = 0; 
            long.TryParse(lastSegment, out id); 

            return id; 
        } 
    } 

    return 0; 
} 
}

Route Handler that handles all requests.

Handlers/UrlRouteHandler.cs
public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)  
{ 
var routeData = requestContext.RouteData.Values; 
var url = routeData["urlRouteHandler"] as string; 
var route = UrlHandler.GetRoute(url); 

routeData["url"] = route.Url; 
routeData["controller"] = route.Controller; 
routeData["action"] = route.Action; 
routeData["id"] = route.Id; 
routeData["urlRouteHandler"] = route; 

return new MvcHandler(requestContext); 
}

The route handler configuration.

App_Start/RouteConfig.cs

public class RouteConfig  
{ 
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)  
{ 
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); 

    routes.MapRoute( 
        "IUrlRouteHandler", 
        "{*urlRouteHandler}").RouteHandler = new UrlRouteHandler(); 
} 
}

Repository/IRouteRepository.cs
public interface IRouteRepository: IDisposable  
{ 
IEnumerable < RouteData > Find(string url); 
}

Repository/StaticRouteRepository.cs

public class StaticRouteRepository: IRouteRepository 
{ 
public void Dispose() { 

} 

public IEnumerable < RouteData > Find(string url) { 
    var routes = new List < RouteData > (); 
    routes.Add(new RouteData() { 
        RoouteId = Guid.NewGuid(), 
            Url = "how-to-write-file-using-csharp", 
            Controller = "Articles", 
            Action = "Index" 
    }); 
    routes.Add(new RouteData() { 
        RoouteId = Guid.NewGuid(), 
            Url = "help/how-to-use-this-web-site", 
            Controller = "Help", 
            Action = "Index" 
    }); 

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(url)) { 
        var route = routes.SingleOrDefault(r => r.Url == url); 
        if (route == null) { 
            route = routes.FirstOrDefault(r => url.Contains(r.Url)) ? ? routes.FirstOrDefault(r => r.Url.Contains(url)); 
        } 

        if (route != null) { 
            var newRoutes = new List < RouteData > (); 
            newRoutes.Add(route); 

            return newRoutes; 
        } 
    } 

    return new List < RouteData > (); 
} 
}

I have created 2 URLs. One URL will point to the Help Controller while the other one to the Articles Controller. For dependency resolver configuration, I used Ninject.
App_Start/NinjectWebCommon.cs
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel) 
{ 
kernel.Bind < Repository.IRouteRepository > ().To < Repository.StaticRouteRepository > (); 
}

The goal is to use a database to store images and use MVC to call those images, using custom routes. The premises are,
The URL must be something like this: “imagebank/sample-file” or “imagebank/32403404303“.
The MVC Controller/Action will get the image by an ID “sample-file” or “32403404303” and find out on some cache and/or database to display the image. If it exists in cache, get from cache if not get from database. So in HTML, we can call the image like this.

    <img src="~/imagebank/sample-file" />   

If you want to use another URL, for instance “foo/sample-file”, you can change the image bank route name in web.config.
If you do not want to display the image and just download the file, use - “imagebank/sample-file/download“.

So, let's get started!

The image bank route configuration

App_Start\RouteConfig.cs
public class RouteConfig 
    { 
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) 
        { 
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); 
 
            routes.MapRoute( 
                name: "ImageBank", 
                url: GetImageBankRoute() + "/{fileId}/{action}", 
                defaults: new { controller = "ImageBank", action = "Index" } 
            ); 
 
            routes.MapRoute( 
                name: "Default", 
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", 
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } 
            ); 
        } 
 
        private static string GetImageBankRoute() 
        { 
            var key = "imagebank:routeName"; 
            var config = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.AllKeys.Contains(key) ? ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get(key) : ""; 
 
            return config ?? "imagebank"; 
        } 
    } 

The Image Bank Controller

Controllers\ImageBankController.cs 
public class ImageBankController : Controller 
    { 
        public ImageBankController() 
        { 
            Cache = new Cache(); 
            Repository = new Repository(); 
        } 
         
        public ActionResult Index(string fileId, bool download = false) 
        { 
            var defaultImageNotFound = "pixel.gif"; 
            var defaultImageNotFoundPath = $"~/content/img/{defaultImageNotFound}"; 
            var defaultImageContentType = "image/gif"; 
 
            var cacheKey = string.Format("imagebankfile_{0}", fileId); 
            Models.ImageFile model = null; 
 
            if (Cache.NotExists(cacheKey)) 
            { 
                model = Repository.GetFile(fileId); 
 
                if (model == null) 
                { 
                    if (download) 
                    { 
                        return File(Server.MapPath(defaultImageNotFoundPath), defaultImageContentType, defaultImageNotFound); 
                    } 
 
                    return File(Server.MapPath(defaultImageNotFoundPath), defaultImageContentType); 
                } 
                 
                Cache.Insert(cacheKey, "Default", model); 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                model = Cache.Get(cacheKey) as Models.ImageFile; 
            } 
 
            if (download) 
            { 
                return File(model.Body, model.ContentType, string.Concat(fileId, model.Extension)); 
            } 
 
            return File(model.Body, model.ContentType); 
        } 
 
        public ActionResult Download(string fileId) 
        { 
            return Index(fileId, true); 
        } 
 
        private Repository Repository { get; set; } 
 
        private Cache Cache { get; set; } 
    } 

The above code has two actions - one for displaying the image and the other for downloading it.

The database repository

Repository.cs
public class Repository 
    { 
        public static Models.ImageFile GetFile(string fileId) 
        { 
            //Just an example, use you own data repository and/or database 
            SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ImageBankDatabase"].ConnectionString); 
 
            try 
            { 
                connection.Open(); 
                var sql = @"SELECT *  
                            FROM    dbo.ImageBankFile  
                            WHERE   FileId = @fileId  
                                    OR ISNULL(AliasId, FileId) = @fileId"; 
 
                var command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection); 
                command.Parameters.Add("@fileId", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = fileId; 
                command.CommandType = CommandType.Text; 
                var ada = new SqlDataAdapter(command); 
                var dts = new DataSet(); 
                ada.Fill(dts); 
 
                var model = new Models.ImageFile(); 
                model.Extension = dts.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Extension"] as string; 
                model.ContentType = dts.Tables[0].Rows[0]["ContentType"] as string; 
                model.Body = dts.Tables[0].Rows[0]["FileBody"] as byte[]; 
 
                return model; 
            } 
            catch  
            { 
 
            } 
            finally 
            { 
                if (connection != null) 
                { 
                    connection.Close(); 
                    connection.Dispose(); 
                    connection = null; 
                } 
            } 
 
            return null; 
        } 
    } 

The repository is very simple. This code is just for demonstration. You can implement your own code. 

The image bank model class

Models\ImageFile.cs
public class ImageFile 
    { 
        public byte[] Body { get; set; } 
 
        public string ContentType { get; set; } 
 
        public string Extension { get; set; } 
    }  

Create table script

USE [ImageBankDatabase] 
GO 
 
/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[ImageBankFile]    Script Date: 11/16/2016 12:36:56 ******/ 
SET ANSI_NULLS ON 
GO 
 
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON 
GO 
 
SET ANSI_PADDING ON 
GO 
 
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ImageBankFile]( 
    [FileId] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL, 
    [AliasId] [nvarchar](100) NULL, 
    [FileBody] [varbinary](max) NULL, 
    [Extension] [nvarchar](5) NULL, 
    [ContentType] [nvarchar](50) NULL, 
 CONSTRAINT [PK_ImageBankFile] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED  
( 
    [FileId] ASC 
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY] 
) ON [PRIMARY] 
 
GO 
 
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF 
GO  

The Cache provider class

Cache.cs

public class Cache 
    { 
        public Cache() 
        { 
            _config = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/caching/outputCacheSettings") as OutputCacheSettingsSection; 
        } 
         
        private OutputCacheSettingsSection _config; 
         
        private OutputCacheProfile GetProfile(string profile) 
        { 
            return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(profile) ? _config.OutputCacheProfiles[profile] : new OutputCacheProfile("default"); 
        } 
         
        private object GetFromCache(string id) 
        { 
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(id)) throw new NullReferenceException("id is null"); 
            if (System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache != null) 
            { 
                lock (this) 
                { 
                    return System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache[id]; 
                } 
            } 
 
            return null; 
        } 
         
        public Cache Insert(string id, string profile, object obj) 
        { 
            if (System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache != null) 
            { 
                if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(id)) 
                { 
                    throw new ArgumentNullException("id", "id is null"); 
                }

                { 
                    throw new ArgumentNullException("profile", string.Format("profile is null for id {0}", id));

                } 
            } 
 
            return this;

Today, I will write about Button Loader Integration in ASP.NET MVC. User interaction & responsiveness are major aspects in any application. It is always good to tell the user that is happening in the application i.e. whether they have to wait for certain processing or they can proceed with another action,  etc.

Today, I shall be demonstrating the integration of a simple button loader plugin called Ladda, you can explore it more by visiting the website.

You can download the complete source code for this tutorial from here or you can follow step by step discussion below. The sample code is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.

Create new MVC web project and name it "ButtonLoader".

Download the Ladda plugin and incorporate its related JavaScript & CSS files into the project.

Create new controller under "Controller" folder and name it "LoaderController.cs".

Open "RouteConfig.cs" file under "App_Start" folder and change the default controller to "Loader" and action to "Index" as shown below.
    using System; 
    using System.Collections.Generic; 
    using System.Linq; 
    using System.Web; 
    using System.Web.Mvc; 
    using System.Web.Routing; 
    namespace ButtonLoader 
    { 
        public class RouteConfig 
        { 
            public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) 
            { 
                routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); 
                routes.MapRoute(name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new 
                { 
                    controller = "Loader", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional 
                }); 
            } 
        } 
    } 

Create new file "LoaderViewModels.cs" under "Models" folder and place the following code in it:
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; 
    namespace ButtonLoader.Models 
    { 
        public class LoaderViewModel 
        { 
            [Required] 
            [Display(Name = "Text")] 
            public string Text 
            { 
                get; 
                set; 
            } 
        } 
    } 

Here, we have created a simple model for observing our loader effect.
Now, open "LoaderController.cs" file under "Controller" folder and replace it with the following code:
    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------  
    // <copyright file="LoaderController.cs" company="None"> 
    // Copyright (c) Allow to distribute this code.

        using System.Threading; 
        using System.Threading.Tasks;

        using ButtonLoader.Models; 
        /// <summary>

            public ActionResult Index() 
            { 
                try

In the above code snippet, we have created a simple "HttpGet" & "HttpPost" methods to observer the behavior of the button loader. We have also placed a 5 sec delay in the post method at every response to observer the behavior of the button loader from server side as well.

Now, in "Views->Loader" folder create a new page called "Index.cshtml" and place the following code in it:
    @using ButtonLoader.Models  
    @model ButtonLoader.Models.LoaderViewModel  
    @{  
    ViewBag.Title = "ASP.NET MVC5 C#: Button Loader Integration";  
    }  
     
    <div class="row"> 
        <div class="panel-heading"> 
            <div class="col-md-8"> 
                <h3> 
                    <i class="fa fa-file-text-o"></i> 
                    <span>Bootstrap Modal with ASP.NET MVC5 C#</span>

            </div> 
        </div> 
    </div> 
    <div class="row"> 
        <section class="col-md-4 col-md-push-4"> 
            @using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", "Loader", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", OnSuccess = "onLoaderSuccess" }, new { @id = "LoaderformId", @class = "form-horizontal", role = "form" }))  
            {  
                @Html.AntiForgeryToken()  
     
            <div class="well bs-component"> 
                <br /> 
                <div class="row"> 
                    <div class="col-md-12 col-md-push-2">

                                @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Text, new { placeholder = Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.Text), @class = "form-control" })  
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Text, "", new { @class = "text-danger custom-danger" })  
                            </div> 
                        </div> 
                        <div class="form-group"> 
                            <div class="col-md-18"></div> 
                        </div> 
                        <div class="form-group"> 
                            <div class="col-md-4 col-md-push-2"> 
                                <div > 
                                    <button type="submit"

                        </div> 
                    </div> 
                </div> 
            </div> 
    }  
     
        </section> 
    </div> 
In the above code snippet, we have created a simple text input box and a button, for Ladda plugin to work however, you have to use following structure on button i.e.
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning ladda-button" value="Process" data-style="slide-down"> 
        <span class="ladda-label">Process</span> 
    </button> 
Unfortunately, Ladda plugin does not work with input type buttons.

Under "Scripts" folder, create a new script called "custom-loader.js" and place the following code in it:
    $(document).ready(function() 
    { 
        Ladda.bind('.ladda-button'); 
        $("#LoaderformId").submit(function(event) 
        { 
            var dataString; 
            event.preventDefault(); 
            event.stopImmediatePropagation(); 
            var action = $("#LoaderformId").attr("action"); 
            // Setting.  
            dataString = new FormData($("#LoaderformId").get(0)); 
            contentType = false; 
            processData = false; 
            $.ajax( 
            { 
                type: "POST", 
                url: action, 
                data: dataString, 
                dataType: "json", 
                contentType: contentType, 
                processData: processData, 
                success: function(result) 
                { 
                    // Result.  
                    onLoaderSuccess(result); 
                }, 
                error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) 
                { 
                    //do your own thing  
                    alert("fail"); 
                    // Stop Button Loader.  
                    Ladda.stopAll(); 
                } 
            }); 
        }); //end .submit()  
    }); 
    var onLoaderSuccess = function(result) 
    { 
        if (result.EnableError) 
        { 
            // Clear.  
            $('#ModalTitleId').html(""); 
            $('#ModalContentId').html(""); 
            // Setting.  
            $('#ModalTitleId').append(result.ErrorTitle); 
            $('#ModalContentId').append(result.ErrorMsg); 
            // Show Modal.  
            $('#ModalMsgBoxId').modal( 
            { 
                backdrop: 'static', 
                keyboard: false 
            }); 
        } 
        else if (result.EnableSuccess) 
        { 
            // Clear.  
            $('#ModalTitleId').html(""); 
            $('#ModalContentId').html(""); 
            // Setting.  
            $('#ModalTitleId').append(result.SuccessTitle); 
            $('#ModalContentId').append(result.SuccessMsg); 
            // Show Modal.  
            $('#ModalMsgBoxId').modal( 
            { 
                backdrop: 'static', 
                keyboard: false 
            }); 
            // Resetting form.  
            $('#LoaderformId').get(0).reset(); 
        } 
        // Stop Button Loader.  
        Ladda.stopAll(); 
    } 

I have also combined modal here to display server response. The following piece of code will bind the button loader plugin with the button i.e.
    Ladda.bind('.ladda-button');  
So, whenever, I click the button the button loader will start. The following piece of code will stop the button loader effect whenever I receive a response from the server side:
    // Stop Button Loader.  
    Ladda.stopAll();  
   
Now, execute the application. I hope it works for you!

HostForLIFE.eu is European Windows Hosting Provider which focuses on Windows Platform only. We deliver on-demand hosting solutions including Shared hosting, Reseller Hosting, Cloud Hosting, Dedicated Servers, and IT as a Service for companies of all sizes. We have customers from around the globe, spread across every continent. We serve the hosting needs of the business and professional, government and nonprofit, entertainment and personal use market segments.

In ASP.NET MVC, our system is built such that the interactions with the user are handled through Actions on our Controllers. We select our actions based on the route the user is using, which is a fancy way of saying that we base it on a pattern found in the URL they’re using. If we were on a page editing an object and we clicked the save button we would be sending the data to a URL somewhat like this one.

Notice that in our route that we have specified the name of the object that we’re trying to save. There is a default Model Binder for this in MVC that will take the form data that we’re sending and bind it to a CLR objects for us to use in our action. The standard Edit action on a controller looks like this.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
    try
    {
        // TODO: Add update logic here
 
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    catch
    {
        return View();
    }
}

If we were to flesh some of this out the way it’s set up here, we would have code that looked a bit like this.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(int id, FormCollection collection)
{
    try
    {
        Profile profile = _profileRepository.GetProfileById(id);

        profile.FavoriteColor = collection["favorite_color"];
        profile.FavoriteBoardGame = collection["FavoriteBoardGame"];

        _profileRepository.Add(profile);

        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    catch
    {
        return View();
    }
}

What is bad about this is that we are accessing the FormCollection object which is messy and brittle. Once we start testing this code it means that we are going to be repeating code similar to this elsewhere. In our tests we will need to create objects using these magic strings. What this means is that we are now making our code brittle. If we change the string that is required for this we will have to go through our code correcting them. We will also have to find them in our tests or our tests will fail. This is bad. What we should do instead is have these only appear on one place, our model binder. Then all the code we test is using CLR objects that get compile-time checking. To create our Custom Model Binder this is all we need to do is write some code like this.

public class ProfileModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
    ProfileRepository _profileRepository = new ProfileRepository();

    public object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext,
        ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        int id = (int)controllerContext.RouteData.Values["Id"];
        Profile profile = _profileRepository.GetProfileById(id);

        profile.FavoriteColor = bindingContext
            .ValueProvider
            .GetValue("favorite_color")
            .ToString();


        profile.FavoriteBoardGame = bindingContext
            .ValueProvider
            .GetValue("FavoriteBoardGame")
            .ToString();

        return profile;
    }
}

Notice that we are using the form collection here, but it is limited to this one location. When we test we will just have to pass in the Profile object to our action, which means that we don’t have to worry about these magic strings as much, and we’re also not getting into the situation where our code becomes so brittle that our tests inhibit change. The last thing we need to do is tell MVC that when it is supposed to create a Profile object that it is supposed to use this model binder. To do this, we just need to Add our binder to the collection of binders in the Application_Start method of our GLobal.ascx.cs file. It’s done like this. We say that this binder is for objects of type Profile and give it a binder to use.

ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof (Profile), new ProfileModelBinder());

Now we have a model binder that should let us keep the messy code out of our controllers. Now our controller action looks like this.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(Profile profile)
{
    try
    {
        _profileRepository.Add(profile);

        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
    catch
    {
        return View();
    }
}

That looks a lot cleaner to me, and if there were other things I needed to do during that action, I could do them without all of the ugly binding logic.

In this tutorial, i will show you how to make a Star Rating in MVC Using AngularUI. You may have seen in many websites, that they ask for feedback in the form of rating stars. No problem --  it very easy to implement. Just follow the below steps to create a StarRating system in your Web Application.

Implementing StarRating in MVC using AngularUI

Create a Web Application using the MVC template (Here, I am using Visual studio 2015).
It is better (Recommended) to implement an Application in Visual studio 2015 because VS2015 shows intelligence for Angular JS. This feature is not present in the previous versions.

And here is the final output:

1. Add Controller and View
Add a controller and name it (Here, I named it HomeController).
Create an Index Action method and add view to it.
Now, add the script ,given below, and reference file to an Index page.
    <script src="~/Scripts/angular.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/angular-animate.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/angular-ui/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/app.js"></script><!--This is application script we wrote--> 
        <link href="~/Content/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" /> 

2. Add Angular Script file
Now, create another script file for Angular code to implement StarRating in the Application.
Replace the Java Script file, with the code, given below:
    angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ngAnimate', 'ui.bootstrap']); 
    angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('RatingDemoCtrl', function ($scope) { 
        //These are properties of the Rating object 
        $scope.rate = 7;    //gets or sets the rating value 
        $scope.max = 10;    //displays number of icons(stars) to show in UI 
        $scope.isReadonly = false;  //prevents the user interaction if set to true. 
        $scope.hoveringOver = function (value) { 
            $scope.overStar = value; 
            $scope.percent = 100 * (value / $scope.max); 
        }; 
        //Below are the rating states 
        //These are array of objects defining properties for all icons.  
        //In default template below 'stateOn&stateOff' properties are used to specify icon's class. 
        $scope.ratingStates = [ 
          { stateOn: 'glyphicon-ok-sign', stateOff: 'glyphicon-ok-circle' }, 
          { stateOn: 'glyphicon-star', stateOff: 'glyphicon-star-empty' }, 
          { stateOn: 'glyphicon-heart', stateOff: 'glyphicon-ban-circle' }, 
          { stateOn: 'glyphicon-heart' }, 
          { stateOff: 'glyphicon-off' } 
        ]; 
    }); 

3. Create UI
Replace and add the code, given below, in the Index.cshtml page.
    @{ 
        Layout = null; 
    } 
    <h2>Star Rating in Angualr UI</h2> 
    <!doctype html> 
    <html ng-app="ui.bootstrap.demo"> 
    <head>    
        <title>www.mitechdev.com</title> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/angular.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/angular-animate.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/angular-ui/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js"></script> 
        <script src="~/Scripts/app.js"></script><!--This is application script we wrote--> 
        <link href="~/Content/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" /> 
    </head> 
    <body style="margin-left:30px;"> 
        <div ng-controller="RatingDemoCtrl"> 
            <!--Angular element that shows rating images--> 
            <uib-rating ng-model="rate" max="max" 
                        read-only="isReadonly"  
                        on-hover="hoveringOver(value)" 
                        on-leave="overStar = null" 
                        titles="['one','two','three']"  
                        aria-labelledby="default-rating"> 
            </uib-rating> 
            <!--span element shows the percentage of select--> 
            <span class="label" ng-class="{'label-warning': percent<30, 'label-info': percent>=30 && percent<70, 'label-success': percent>=70}" 
                  ng-show="overStar && !isReadonly">{{percent}}%</span> 
            <!--This element shows rating selected,Hovering and IS hovering or not(true/false)--> 
            <pre style="margin:15px 0;width:400px;">Rate: <b>{{rate}}</b> - Readonly is: <i>{{isReadonly}}</i> - Hovering over: <b>{{overStar || "none"}}</b></pre> 
            <!--button clears all the values in above <pre> tag--> 
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-danger" ng-click="rate = 0" ng-disabled="isReadonly">Clear</button> 
            <!--this button toggles the selection of star rating--> 
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-sm btn-default" ng-click="isReadonly = ! isReadonly">Toggle Readonly</button> 
            <hr /> 
            <div>Mitechdev.com Application-2016</div> 
        </div> 
    </body> 
    </html>

Here, we need to talk about some expressions used in <uib-rating> tag.

•     on-hover: This expression is called, when the user places the mouse at the particular icon. In the above code hoveringOver() is called.
•     on-leave: This expression is called when the user leaves the mouse at the particular icon.
•     titles: Using this expression, we can assign an array of the titles to each icon.

We have customers from around the globe, spread across every continent. We serve the hosting needs of the business and professional, government and nonprofit, entertainment and personal use market segments.

As with the most things in ASP.NET MVC 6, just about everything is handled within your Startup.cs file. With this tutorial, you will set up all your necessary routing, services, dependency injection, and more. And setting an expiration for a persistent cookie, turns out to be no different.
 

To set your persistent cookie expiration, you will need to associate the cookie to your current Identity provider. This is handled within the ConfigureServices method of the previously mentioned Startup.cs file, as you can see on the following code:
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)   
    { 
                // Add Entity Framework services to the services container along 
                // with the necessary data contexts for the application 
                services.AddEntityFramework() 
                        .AddSqlServer() 
                        .AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration["Data:IdentityConnection:ConnectionString"])) 
                        .AddDbContext<YourOtherContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration["Data:DataConnection:ConnectionString"])); 
     
                // Add Identity services to the services container 
                services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>(i => { 
                            i.SecurityStampValidationInterval = TimeSpan.FromDays(7); 
                        }) 
                        .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()                    
                        .AddDefaultTokenProviders(); 
     
                // Other stuff omitted for brevity 
    } 

You might have noticed after a quick peek at this code what exactly you need to be setting. That's right. The SecurityStampValidationInterval property:
    // This will allow you to set the duration / expiration of your 
    // authentication token 
    i.SecurityStampValidationInterval = TimeSpan.FromDays(7); 

This example would only require the users to re-validate if they have not logged into the application within seven days. You can simply adjust this interval value to suit your needs.

In this post, I will explain you about using filters and attribute class in ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET MVC provides an easy way to inject your piece of code or logic either before or after an action is executed. this will be achieved by using filters and attribute classes.

Types of Filters
The ASP.NET MVC framework provides five types of filters and executes in the same order as given below,

    Authentication filters
    Authorization filters
    Action filters
    Result filters
    Exception filters

Build an action method in HomeController and declare Attribute classes Above Action Method.
    public class HomeController: Controller 
     
    { 
        [CustomAuthorizationAttribute] 
        [CustomActionAttribute] 
        [CustomResultAttribute] 
        [CustomExceptionAttribute] 
     
        public ActionResult Index()  
        { 
     
            ViewBag.Message = "Index Action of Home controller is being called."; 
            return View(); 
        } 
    } 

Now, build a Filters Folder in your application and add the following attribute classes.

    CustomAuthorizationAttribute.cs
        public class CustomAuthorizationAttribute: FilterAttribute, IAuthorizationFilter 
         
        { 
            void IAuthorizationFilter.OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnAuthorization = "IAuthorizationFilter.OnAuthorization filter called"; 
            } 
        } 
    CustomActionAttribute.cs
        public class CustomActionAttribute: FilterAttribute, IActionFilter  
        { 
            void IActionFilter.OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnActionExecuting = "IActionFilter.OnActionExecuting filter called"; 
            } 
            void IActionFilter.OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnActionExecuted = "IActionFilter.OnActionExecuted filter called"; 
            } 
        }
    CustomResultAttribute.cs
        public class CustomResultAttribute: FilterAttribute, IResultFilter 
        { 
            void IResultFilter.OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnResultExecuting = "IResultFilter.OnResultExecuting filter called"; 
            } 
            void IResultFilter.OnResultExecuted(ResultExecutedContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnResultExecuted = "IResultFilter.OnResultExecuted filter called"; 
            } 
        } 
    CustomExceptionAttribute.cs
        public class CustomExceptionAttribute: FilterAttribute, IExceptionFilter  
        { 
            void IExceptionFilter.OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)  
            { 
                filterContext.Controller.ViewBag.OnException = "IExceptionFilter.OnException filter called"; 
            } 
        } 

View
Index.cshtml
    @{ 
    ViewBag.Title = "Index"; 
    } 
    <h2> 
    Index</h2> 
    <ul> 
    <li>@ViewBag.OnAuthorization</li> 
    <li>@ViewBag.OnActionExecuting</li> 
    <li>@ViewBag.OnActionExecuted</li> 
    <li>@ViewBag.OnResultExecuting</li> 
    <li>@ViewBag.OnResultExecuted</li> 
    <li>@ViewBag.Message</li> 
    </ul> 

The following image is the output:

Today, I will tell you about Dynamic Auto Complete in MVC for any Table of DataBase. With the following code, we can file record of product code on the basis of product name. Now write the code below:

View
@model string < input type = "hidden" 
id = "[email protected]" 
value = "@Model" / > @Html.TextBox("txtCode_" + @Model) 
@Html.TextBox("txtName_" + @Model) < script type = "text/javascript" > $(function () 
{ 
    $('#[email protected]').autocomplete( 
    { 
        source: function (request, response) 
        { 
            alert("hi"); 
            var id = $('#[email protected]').val(); 
            $.ajax( 
            { 
                url: "/Common/AutocompleteName/" + id + "?name=" + $('#[email protected]').val(), 
                dataType: "json", 
                type: 'POST',
