Error in adding custom table in user identity system - asp.net-mvc

Question

I was following this article to add my custom table.
http://www.itorian.com/2013/11/customizing-users-profile-to-add-new.html
In My AccountViewModels.cs, i have tried to add new custom table(UserProfileInfo) something like this---
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public string EmailID { get; set; }
public virtual UserProfileInfo UserProfileInfo { get; set; }
}
public class UserProfileInfo
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string MobileNum { get; set; }
}
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public ApplicationDbContext()
: base("DefaultConnection")
{
}
public System.Data.Entity.DbSet<UserProfileInfo> UserProfileInfo { get; set; }
}
}
and in my Account Controller's Register action (Post Version), i have tried to update register action like this but you can see in code at city and mobileNum,
its stating -----
xxx.RegisterViewModel' does not contain a definition for 'City' and no extension method 'City' accepting a first argument of type 'xxx.RegisterViewModel' could be found....
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName, EmailID = model.EmailID,
UserProfileInfo = new UserProfileInfo
{ City = model.City,
MobileNum = model.ModileNum
}
};
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
i dont know what's happening here.plzz help me out.thanks in advance

Answer 1

I have seen that article as u mentioned.You will never be able to pass City and mobile number as parameter as u have not defined them in register view model.
If u simply want to just create and another table and wants to save that into database then u can do it like this-------
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(RegisterViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.UserName };
user.HomeTown = model.HomeTown;
var result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user, model.Password);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
await SignInAsync(user, isPersistent: false);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
AddErrors(result);
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
and change your Dbcontext to something like this----
public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
public ApplicationDbContext()
: base("DefaultConnection")
{
}
public DbSet<UserProfileInfo> UserProfileInfo { get; set; }
}
and your Application user class should be something like this-----
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public string HomeTown { get; set; }
public virtual UserProfileInfo UserProfileInfo { get; set; }
}

You've created separated table - UserProfileInfo - that isn't part of ApplicationUser one.
What you've to do is:
crate new ApplicationUser
create new UserProfileInfo
link each other with proper navigation property or assign foreign keys manually (depending on your configuration)
