Use Custom SqlMembershipProvider To Store Users (and Roles) In Cache?
Feb 15, 2011
I'm developing a "small" warehouse-management WebApplication for few users(5-10 parralel) but with a complex authorization system(checking if pages,menus,TabPanels, UserControls and even single controls are visible or enabled) and permanent and frequent access. Because i've only limited experiences with the ASP.Net MembershipProvider, i'm unsure what's the best approach for following goal:
I want to hold all users, roles and frequently used masterdata in the Cache(in a Dataset). Hence every readonly access should be faster and causes less traffic than always using the database. On updates,deletes and inserts i would update the cached dataset and also the database.
Can i use or extend the SqlMembershipProvider to achieve this goal and if possible how?

I have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:
<membership defaultProvider="MyProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyProvider"
[code].....

For example lets say I want only admins to be able to see and edit CustomerID in details view, moderators can see this value but it is not editable, and regular users cannot even see it.

I am creating a website using asp.net mvc model. When you create an mvc application asp.net automatically creates roles/profiles for user and admins (as far as i know) and corresponding tables in sql server database.I a need a new profile/role names "sponsor" that has all the benefits of users/admins (like authorization etc).

I have a winforms (VB 2008) based app that I'm developing and I want to use custom roles for user access.Application Layout:I have a Main form that opens a login form when certain actions occur.The Login form intern uses an authentication class that I've created, to authenticate users and set access rights.On my Applications settings page, I have Authentication Mode set to Application-defined because I cannot use Windows Authentication in the environment where this will be deployed.
The application uses a MS SQL 2005 db and the 3 tables I'm using in the authentication process are the User_Account , User_Roles and User_Access tables. The combination of an account in the User_Account and the roles within the User_Roles table are the bases for the User_Access table. Using the User_Access table is how I assign access to the various functions within the application
Authentication Method:To authenticate a user, I'm using the "My.User.CurrentPrincipal" (Code below) method. The My.User object works great and allows the use of "My.User.Name" property throughout the app when referring to the currently authenticated user.
Access Method:In order to set the current users access levels I'm using a function within my Authentication class and passing in My.User.Name as a variable. The function uses a Dataset Table Adaptor and a Select Case statement inside a For loop to assign all the access levels for the user (Function code below).
My Problem:This method of assigning access rights to a user does work but it's not persistent throughout the application as the My.User object is.I would like to find a way to create custom roles through the My.User object using its .IsInRole property. I would like to have these roles dynamically created using my User_Roles table.This would allow the custom roles to be used throughout my application using the My.User.IsInRole ("MyRole")syntax ...similar to how I'm currently able to use My.User.Name.Unfortunately the only roles I can currently validate against are the built in Windows
type accounts (Adminisrator ...ect.).
'User Authentication example:
If Authenticate.CheckPassword(tbxUserName.Text, strPassword) Then
My.User.CurrentPrincipal = New GenericPrincipal(New GenericIdentity(tbxUserName.Text), Nothing)[code].....

I am looking for ways to implement custom user-roles in windows application with vb.net. I got a database table called Roles with Administrator and User entries. User cannot see some of the form data. In ASP.NET MVC we can do like.

I'm trying to build a single-instance application, but not in the traditional sence. Instead of a simple silent prevention of launching a second application, I want it to send a message to said application so it launches a second mainform in my original process.
(I want some read-only cache (language, style,...) shared, and a few sources like local settings shared, but other then that all resources reside in the mainforms and act as seperate applications.)
(I'm not looking for specific code, more for hints/tips and/or general directions, more specificaly on what parameters do you check process equality, and what method do you use to pass the message? Windows Messages? Sockets? ...)

i just recently completed a simple windows project with security authentication that used SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRolesProvider. btw, the application connects to the db via Sql Server authentication. that means all user uses the same connectionstring to access the db.are there loop holes? is these style the least desirable? is these "hackable"?how would this type of implementation would fare compared to windows-based authentication, passport authentication, or a webapp that used same approach above?

I'm a newbie in visual basic. I'm doing a login system. I'm done with the GUI. but for the programming part, I want to know where to store new user's information along with the username and password. I've done research. seems like it has something to do with database. p/s: I'm looking for high security in storing data to prevent hacking.

I have made my program but I want to give users the option of choosing a custom color for text. I have an inputbox that works and then converts it to Color.whatever. But seeing as the user types in what they want and it is not done by the program itself it can throw exceptions.
Dim directresponse As String
Dim actualcolor As String
Dim isgood As Boolean
[code]....
That is my Sub, it will make Color.(userinput) but I need to check if Color.(userinput) is actually a color that VB.NET can understand and add set.
I have tried "System.Drawing.Color" I get told it is a type and cannot be used in this context.use System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor to convert it to a color and check if it is real and then set it.

I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.Close()

I have an issue to do with roles in mvc 3 vb.net app..Say I have Admin, Developer, PowerAdmin roles.. if I want to restrict view options based on roles I have been using a if statement in the view to hide the link all together such as:[code]I am also decorating controller actions with authorize in places. The Problem is this say I have several actions that should only be available to say a user who is in all three roles or even 2 of the roles in any combination.. Would I simply nest the if statements in the view to hide those view items? What about controller functions.. Is it possible to decorate controller functions with something like [code]and then have that function only accessible by someone with both roles????

1.I�d like to publish a free vb.net desktop application for the users to download and use meanwhile I�d like to collect usage information ex: user ip address, user�s registration information, used features, time spent� if the user allows the report to be sent back.
2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.

Is there a way to write an if statement in here to detect what url I am on so I can allow a certain role for that certain URL.
Example code in my head of what I kind of want to see:
If (UCase(Url) = UCase("URL")) Then
<allow roles="ROLES"/>
ElseIF(UCase(Url) = UCase("URL")) Then
[code]....
Is this even allowed in the web.config? I have 3 websites. One for Dev, UAT and PROD. Now for each sites I have different user groups for each set up. I just want to find a way that I can just find what URL i'm at and point it at the certain user group. I'm guessing I have to make a web.config for each because you can't do conditional statements but I'm just making sure. If I have to make a web.config for each how can I go about setting that up?
