Updating user data - ASP NET Identity

Question

I ve added custom fields to the ApplicationUser class I ve also created a form through which the user can enter edit the fields  However for some reason I m not able to update the fields in the database    HttpPost   ActionName  Edit     ValidateAntiForgeryToken  public async Task lt ActionResult gt  Manage EditProfileViewModel model        if  ModelState IsValid                   Get the current application user         var user   User Identity GetApplicationUser                Update the details         user Name   new Name   First   model FirstName  Last   model LastName  Nickname   model NickName            user Birthday   model Birthdate              This is the part that doesn t work         var result   await UserManager UpdateAsync user               However  it always succeeds inspite of not updating the database         if   result Succeeded                        AddErrors result                        return RedirectToAction  Manage        My problem is similar to MVC5 ApplicationUser custom properties  but that seems to use an older version of Identity because the IdentityManager class doesn t seem to exist   Can someone guide me on how to update User info in the database   UPDATE  If I include all the fields in the register form  all the values are stored in the appropriate field in a new record of the Users table from the database   I don t know to make changes to the fields of an existing user  row in the users table   UserManager UpdateAsync user  doesn t work   Also note my issue is more Identity oriented than EntityFramework

This works for me  I m using Identity 2 0  it looks like GetApplicationUser isn t there anymore           var user   await UserManager FindByIdAsync User Identity GetUserId             if   string IsNullOrEmpty form  FirstName                           user FirstName   form  FirstName                      if   string IsNullOrEmpty form  LastName                           user LastName   form  LastName                      IdentityResult result   await UserManager UpdateAsync user

OK    I spent hours trying to figure why userManager updateAsync would not persist the user data that we edit     until I reached the following conclusion   The confusion arises from the fact that we create the UserManager in one line like this   var manager   new UserManager lt ApplicationUser gt  new UserStore lt ApplicationUser gt  new MyDbContext           then we use manager UpdateAsync  user    but that will update the user in the context  and then we will need to save changes to the dbcontext of the Identity  So  the question is how to get the Identity DBcontext in the easiest way   To solve this  we should not create the UserManager in one line     and here is how I do it   var store   new UserStore lt ApplicationUser gt  new MyDbContext     var manager   new UserManager store     then after updating the user by calling   manager UpdateAsync user     then you go to the context  var ctx   store context    then  ctx saveChanges      wahooooooo   persisted     Hope this will help someone who pulled their hair for a few hours  P

The OWIN context allows you to get the db context  Seems to be working fine so far me  and after all  I got the idea from the ApplciationUserManager class which does the same thing       internal void UpdateEmail HttpContext context  string userName  string email                var manager   context GetOwinContext   GetUserManager lt ApplicationUserManager gt             var user   manager FindByName userName           user Email   email          user EmailConfirmed   false          manager Update user           context GetOwinContext   Get lt ApplicationDbContext gt    SaveChanges

I am using the new EF  amp  Identity Core and I have the same issue  with the addition that I ve got this error       The instance of entity type cannot be tracked because another instance   of this type with the same key is already being tracked    With the new DI model I added the constructor s Controller the context to the DB   I tried to see what are the conflict with  conext ChangeTracker Entries   and adding AsNoTracking   to my calls without success   I only need to change the state of my object  in this case Identity     context Entry user  State   EntityState Modified  var result   await  userManager UpdateAsync user     And worked without create another store or object and mapping   I hope someone else is useful my two cents

Based on your question and also noted in comment       Can someone guide me on how to update User info in the database    Yes  the code is correct for updating any ApplicationUser to the database    IdentityResult result   await UserManager UpdateAsync user     Check for constrains of all field s required values  Check for UserManager is created using ApplicationUser    UserManager lt ApplicationUser gt  UserManager   new UserManager lt ApplicationUser gt  new UserStore lt ApplicationUser gt  new ApplicationDbContext

If you leave any of the fields for ApplicationUser OR IdentityUser null the update will come back as successful but wont save the data in the database    Example solution   ApplicationUser model   UserManager FindById User Identity GetUserId      Add the newly updated fields   model Email   AppUserViewModel Email  model FName   AppUserViewModel FName  model LName   AppUserViewModel LName  model DOB   AppUserViewModel DOB  model Gender   AppUserViewModel Gender    Call UpdateAsync  IdentityResult result   await UserManager UpdateAsync model     I have tested this and it works

The UserManager did not work  and As  Kevin Junghans wrote      UpdateAsync just commits the update to the context  you still need to save the context for it to commit to the database   Here is quick solution  prior to new features in ASP net identity v2  I used in a web forms projetc  The  class AspNetUser  IdentityUser   Was migrated from SqlServerMembership aspnet Users  And the context is defined   public partial class MyContext   IdentityDbContext lt AspNetUser gt    I apologize for the reflection and synchronous code--if you put this in an async method  use await for the async calls and remove the Tasks and Wait  s  The arg  props  contains the names of properties to update    public static void UpdateAspNetUser AspNetUser user  string   props          MyContext context   new MyContext         UserStore lt AspNetUser gt  store   new UserStore lt AspNetUser gt  context        Task lt AspNetUser gt  cUser   store FindByIdAsync user Id         cUser Wait         AspNetUser oldUser   cUser Result       foreach  var prop in props                PropertyInfo pi   typeof AspNetUser  GetProperty prop           var val   pi GetValue user           pi SetValue oldUser  val              Task task   store UpdateAsync oldUser       task Wait         context SaveChanges

I have tried the functionality in the same way and when i call UserManager Updateasync   method it succeeds but there is no update in the database  After spending some time i found another solution to update the data in aspnetusers table which is following   1  you need to create UserDbContext class inheriting from IdentityDbContext class like this   public class UserDbContext IdentityDbContext lt UserInfo gt        public UserDbContext            base  DefaultConnection                 this Configuration ProxyCreationEnabled   false            2  then in Account controller update user information like this   UserDbContext userDbContext   new UserDbContext    userDbContext Entry user  State   System Data Entity EntityState Modified  await userDbContext SaveChangesAsync      where user is your updated entity   hope this will help you

Add the following code to your Startup Auth cs file under the static constructor           UserManagerFactory        gt  new UserManager lt ApplicationUser gt  new UserStore lt ApplicationUser gt  new ApplicationDbContext               OAuthOptions   new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions                       TokenEndpointPath   new PathString   Token                Provider   new ApplicationOAuthProvider PublicClientId  UserManagerFactory               AuthorizeEndpointPath   new PathString   api Account ExternalLogin                AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan   TimeSpan FromDays 14               AllowInsecureHttp   true              The UserManagerFactory setting line of code is what you use to associate your custom DataContext with the UserManager   Once you have done that  then you can get an instance of the UserManager in your ApiController and the UserManager UpdateAsync user  method will work because it is using your DataContext to save the extra properties you ve added to your custom application user

I also had problems using UpdateAsync when developing a version of SimpleSecurity that uses ASP NET Identity  For example  I added a feature to do a password reset that needed to add a password reset token to the user information  At first I tried using UpdateAsync and it got the same results as you did  I ended up wrapping the user entity in a repository pattern and got it to work   You can look at the SimpleSecurity project for an example  After working with ASP NET Identity more  documentation is still non-existent  I think that UpdateAsync just commits the update to the context  you still need to save the context for it to commit to the database
