I am trying to set up a log in page on my ASP.NET MVC site. I have a working database that stores all the data needed for my site. When I started my site, I used the base template in visual studio because I wanted a basic layout so I could get right into displaying the data I needed and then I could go back later and change the styling. This template created a log in page, which works but I need it to store the tables in my existing database, not a new database. When I register a user it creates a database on my local db server named "aspnet-KU_PLAN_DEV-20140909071149". I need it to store these tables in my "KuPlan" database on my local db server. In my application, my connection string in my web.config file is named "KuPlanEntities" and my model is named "KuPlan.edmx". I can't figure out why it still creates this new database for the tables needed for authentication/security and would appreciate any tips/help that will help me store them in my current database.
Thank you.
Go to Model Folder -> IdentityModel.cs
Change
public ApplicationDbContext()
: base("DefaultConnection", throwIfV1Schema: false)
{
}
To
public ApplicationDbContext()
: base("KuPlanEntities", throwIfV1Schema: false)
{
}

I have a working site right now.
But ı have to make some changes on site system.
Now i read stripe settings from appsetting.json and configure
services.Configure<StripeSettings>(Configuration.GetSection("Stripe"));
But i have to move this settings to my database and read it from there. How can i configure this setting from database in startup.cs. I can get my data from db but this methods require IConfiguration object.
How do i convert that.
Thanks.
I solved this problem with this piece of code if anyone need.
services.Configure<StripeSettings>(opt => {
opt.PublishableKey = "value1";
opt.SecretKey = "value2";
});
I want to use breezejs api for storing data in local storage (indexdb or websql) and also want to sync local data with sql server.
But I am failed to achieve this and also not able to find sample app of this type of application using breezejs, knockout and mvc api.
My requirement is:
1) If internet is available, the data will come from sql server by using mvc web api.
2) If internet is shutdown, the application will retrieve data from cached local storage (indexdb or websql).
3) As soon as internet is on, the local data will sync to sql server.
Please let me know Can I achieve this requirement by using breezejs api or not?
If yes, please provide me some and links and sample.
If no, what other can we use for achieving this type of requirement?
Thanks.
Please help me to meet this requirement.
You can do this, but I would suggest simply using localstorage. Basically, every time you read from the server or save to the server, you export the entities and save that to local storage. THen, when you need to read in the data, if the server is unreachable, you read the data from localstorage and use importentities to get it into the manager and then query locally.
function getData() {
var query = breeze.EntityQuery
.from("{YourAPI}");
manager.executeQuery.then(saveLocallyAndReturnPromise)
.fail(tryLocalRestoreAndReturnPromise)
// If query was successful remotely, then save the data in case connection
// is lost
function saveLocallyAndReturnPromise(data) {
// Should add error handling here. This code
// assumes tis local processing will be successful.
var cacheData = manager.exportEntities()
window.localStorage.setItem('savedCache',cacheData);
// return queried data as a promise so that this detour is
// transparent to viewmodel
return Q(data);
}
function tryLocalRestoreAndReturnPromise(error) {
// Assume any error just means the server is inaccessible.
// Simplified for example, but more robust error handling is
// warranted
var cacheData = window.localStorage.getItem('savedCache');
// NOTE: should handle empty saved cache here by throwing error;
manager.importEntities(cacheData); // restore saved cache
var query = query.using(breeze.FetchStrategy.FromLocalCache);
return manager.executeQuery(query); // this is a promise
}
}
This is a code skeleton for simplicity. You should check catch and handle errors, add an isConnected function to determine connectivity, etc.
If you are doing editing locally, there are a few more hoops to jump through. Every time you make a change to the cache, you will need to export either the whole cache or the changes (probably depending on the size of the cache). When there is a connection, you will need to test for local changes first and, if found, save them to the server before requerying the server. In addition, any schema changes made while offline complicate matters tremendously, so be aware of that.
Hope this helps. A robust implementation is a bit more complex, but this should give you a starting point.
I created a visual studio 2012 MVC4 App. I am testing the "publish" functionality by right clicking the project and choosing publish. I followed the instructions here. I can connect to the remote web server and the folders get published to the correct folder, except the content folder for some reason.
When I run browse to the remote web server it prompts me for login so the app is working. However, the migrations never happened. The only tables created are the simplemembership tables, so I know the web server is connecting to the remote db server. No other tables are created and the seed method doesn't run. I seed the roles and a default user.
I checked the box in publish settings that says "Execute Code First Migrations (runs on application start)"
Everything works fine on my localdb connection string for local testing. Just can't figure out how to create db from existing migrations and seed when I publish to live site, note I will only seed once. Is there a way to specify which migrations to run again? I can copy the migrations and run on the database server but why the extra step?
EDIT:
When adding the database.setinilizer to my context I now get an error saying some of my fields in my userprofile table are not there, I use simple membership. This error occurs on the first page load after web publish, then on proceeding page loads I get an error The "WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection" method can be called only once.
HOwever, it does create my simplemembership tables now but my migration for all other tables never runs, that is why I am missing the additional user profile fields.
EDIT:
Basically I am not checking if websecurity is initialized prior to calling WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection so that resolved that issue. Now I have it partially working. The app creates the simplemembership tables fine but since I added tables to the UserProfile table I can't seed until I change them. So instead I manually create the userprofile table and have the app create the rest of the tables. Then I comment out the userprofile table in my initial migration. After this when I sign in it will then create the rest of my tables.
Open issue is how to get my database migration to run prior to the simplemembership initialization?
To get migration work on remote server, you need to add use SetInitializer in you Context class first :
static MyDatabaseContext()
{
Database.SetInitializer(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<MyProjectContext, Migrations.Configuration>());
}
And in you Migration Configuration you need to add this code :
public Configuration()
{
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = false;
}
I don't select the "Execute Code First Migrations (runs on application start)", and just after setting initialization in MyProjectContext, it does the migration for me.
If you have done by here, for seed your data, you can do same as below in your Migration configuration class:
protected override void Seed(MyProject.Models.MyProjectContextcontext)
{
DoSeed(context);
}
private void DoSeed(MyProjectContext context)
{
var users = new List<User>
{
new Site { UserId = 1, Name = "TestUser", IsDeleted = false },
new Site { UserId = 2, Name = "TestUser2", IsDeleted = false }
};
users.ForEach(s => context.Users.AddOrUpdate(s));
context.SaveChanges();
}
I have not selected the "Execute Code First Migrations (runs on application start)" on deploy Profile.
For some more details on this see this:

and

Hope this helps(as it worked for me), otherwise please add any error if there is, when you deploy you app.
I think the issue is ,Because of the fact that as long as you have not tried to access data
or create any data from/in site, which needs to connect to database, the migration and seeding
will not run"
And the reason for running migration on your site after logging into the site,
would be because your site need to be authorised in all pages, or the page that you want
to see data in.
If you have a page example home page, that does not authorization to access to the page,
you will see the page and if in this page there is some data that needs to be fetched from
data base, you may see the migration runs.
I found this from this Deploy it to IIS, but not sure if it is the reason.
Please let me know if your migration still has not ran if you browse your home page that
has data and no authentication needed for this data access.
I need a little help getting started. I have a new JSF-2 web application that I intend to deploy under GlassFish 3.1 (or higher). Normally the server stores all its log files as text in one of its private directories, which also includes the logging I do with ether System.println( .. ) or something like java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger( ... )
What I want to do is instead of those logging entries going to the text file, capture them and file them into my SQL data base. I can then add table columns for timestamp and key values so it can be easily searched as part of the admin web page in the application, rather than having to go to the admin console for it. It would be possible also to expose some of that data to users.
Can this be done and how?
Follow up question: could this be done in a way that would be portable to Tomcat or another container?
You will need to write custom log handler. Custom log handler is a class that extends java.util.logging.Handler:
package test.stackoverflow;
import java.util.logging.Handler;
..
public class AlanHandler extends Handler {
..
#Override
public void publish(LogRecord record) {
//CODE THAT STORES LOG RECORD INTO THE DATABASE
}
}
Additionally, you will have to slightly change logging.properties file:
handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler, test.stackoverflow.AlanHandler
Deploy JAR of AlanHandler on Glassfish (as a library), restart the server and that should do it.
Using Entity Framework Migrations (Beta1), using Update-Database command is all good during development.
But when the application is running on some customer's server somewhere, I really want my application to automatically update it's database schema to the latest version when it's started.
Is this possible? Documentation is scarce.
They aren't providing a way to do this until RTM, at which point they have promised a command line app and a msdeploy provider.

Of course not being satisfied with that, the powershell command is stored in the packages directory and is plain text, it appears to just load up an assembly called EntityFramework.Migrations.Commands stored in the same directory.
Tracing through that assembly I came up with the following
public class MyContext : DbContext
{
static MyContext()
{
DbMigrationsConfiguration configuration = new DbMigrationsConfiguration() {
MigrationsAssembly = typeof(MyContext).Assembly,
ContextType = typeof(MyContext),
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true,
};
DbMigrator dbMigrator = new DbMigrator(configuration);
dbMigrator.Update(null);
}
}
UPDATE: after a bit of experimentation I figured out a few more things
Performing an update in the static constructor for your context is bad as it breaks the powershell commands, much better off adding the code to application startup another way (Global.asax, WebActivator or Main method)
The above code only works when using AutomaticMigrations, you need to set the MigrationsNamespace for it to pickup on manually created migrations
The configuration class I was creating should already exist in your project (added when you install the migration nuget package), so just instantiate that instead.
Which means the code is simplified to
DbMigrator dbMigrator = new DbMigrator(new NAMESPACE.TO.MIGRATIONS.Configuration());
dbMigrator.Update(null);
Another options for this issue is to add
Database.SetInitializer<MyContext>(new MigrateDatabaseToLatestVersion<MyContext, NAMESPACE.TO.MIGRATIONS.Configuration>());
line to your Global.asax Application_Start method.
