How save the time of last log in using the SimpleMembership? - simplemembership

Question

I need to save the time, when user loged in.
First I try to realize it in AccountController Login. But now I know, that isn't possible, because User.Id is -1.
Ok, and what can I do to save the time in my user table?
The next problem for me is, when do it. The informations I need to get the user are created after redirect. And the redirect can go everywhere.
An idea is, to get the time on which the ASPXAUTH cookie is set, but I don't know, how to get it.
Is there any solution?

Answer 1

If you need only last login time, you may receive that infrimation from SimpleMembership:
var User = Membership.GetUser("Username") // get user by name
DateTime LastActivityDate = User.LastActivityDate; // get last activity date and time
DateTime LastLogin = User.LastLoginDate; // Last login date and time
DateTime LastPasswordChange = User.LastPasswordChangedDate;

Just learning this stuff myself.
You need to extend the AccountModel, in AccountModel.cs
For example, I added Email to my UserProfile table generation.
[Table("UserProfile")]
public class UserProfile
{
[Key]
[DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
}
public string Email { get; set; }
I also needed to add it to my RegisterModel further down the file
public class RegisterModel
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User name")]
public string UserName { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
public string Email { 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; }
}
The important part here is this new entry:
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
public string Email { get; set; }
Then I needed to add the Email information to the RegisterView, which is exactly the same as doing it with the other parts, since it is now part of the model.
One of the most important parts comes when you're saving the information back into the database. In my Register Action, I have the WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount method which was already defined. It requires tweaks however, to be able to add EXTRA information to the database with this method.
Thankfully one of the overloads allows passing in a dictionary to the extra data.
WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(model.UserName, model.Password, new { Email = model.Email }, false);
new { Email = model.Email }
If you don't already have the column added in your database, I don't think it will pick it up. You need to make sure that column exists, so get it set up before hand.
