How to pass values to DataAccess Layer for storing into database in asp.net MVC5 API? - api

Question

In my API application, I field values coming from registration view which I want to store into the database. On AccountController.cs, I have collected these values using the following code.
[Route("Register")]
public async Task<object> Register(UserDetails data)
{
var userRegister = new IdentityUser
{
FirstName = data.FirstName,
LastName = data.LastName,
UserName = data.Email,
Email = data.Email,
PhoneNumber = data.PhoneNumber,
PasswordHash = data.Password
};
UserManager<IdentityUser> _manager = new UserManager<IdentityUser>(new UserStore<IdentityUser>(new TachusApi.DBContext.AuthDbContext()));
string pHash = _manager.PasswordHasher.HashPassword(data.Password);
DBAccess dbaccess = new DBAccess();
dbaccess.SaveAdmin(userRegister, pHash);
return data;
}
What I want to do is to pass these values to the SaveAdmin method in DBAccess.cs for storing into the database. Here is my SaveAdmin method:
#region Save Admin User
public void SaveAdmin(string userRegister, string hash)
{
SqlConnection conn = null;
SqlCommand command = null;
int retValue;
conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
conn.Open();
command = conn.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "RequestedServiceUserDataInsert";
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
...
}
#endregion
I can't pass a valid format of the values to my SaveAdmin method where I can save them into the database. Is there anyone who may advise an effective way that can help me pass these values as an object for using them in my save method? Please advice

Answer 1

Since you define the userRegister object as an IdentityUser object
var userRegister = new IdentityUser
{
FirstName = data.FirstName,
LastName = data.LastName,
UserName = data.Email,
Email = data.Email,
PhoneNumber = data.PhoneNumber,
PasswordHash = data.Password
};
And then pass it to the SaveAdmin function of your dbaccess class
dbaccess.SaveAdmin(userRegister, pHash);
The SaveAdmin method needs to be set up to accept the userRegister of type IdentityUser. Right now it expects a plain string.
So, instead of having your SaveAdmin function declared as this:
public void SaveAdmin(string userRegister, string hash)
You need to have it declared like this:
public void SaveAdmin(IdentityUser userRegister, string hash)
That way the method gets the data it expects and you can access all properties of that object and insert them into SQL server.
