WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount propertyValues

asp.net-mvc-4, c#, entity-framework-5

Solution

Never worked out how to do it in 1 go, got round it by the following in the end if anyone has the same problem.

//
// POST: /BusinessManager/ManageCompanies/Add
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Add(AddCompanyViewModel addCompanyViewModel)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        // Create company and attempt to register the user
        try
        {
            WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(addCompanyViewModel.User.UserName,
                                                addCompanyViewModel.User.Password,
                                                propertyValues: new
                                                {
                                                    FirstName = addCompanyViewModel.User.FirstName,
                                                    LastName = addCompanyViewModel.User.LastName,
                                                    EmailAddress = addCompanyViewModel.User.EmailAddress,
                                                    PhoneNumber = addCompanyViewModel.User.PhoneNumber,
                                                    MarketingEmailOptin = addCompanyViewModel.User.MarketingEmailOptin,
                                                    isDisabled = false
                                                });

            db.Companies.Add(addCompanyViewModel.Company);

            var newuser = db.UserProfiles.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserName == addCompanyViewModel.User.UserName);
            if (newuser != null)
            {
                newuser.CompanyICanEdit = addCompanyViewModel.Company;
                db.Entry(newuser).State = EntityState.Modified;
                db.SaveChanges();
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            else
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("", "New user wasn't added");
            }                     
        }
        catch (MembershipCreateUserException e)
        {
            ModelState.AddModelError("", Mywebsite.Controllers.AccountController.ErrorCodeToString(e.StatusCode));
        }

    }

    return View(addCompanyViewModel);
}

Problem

I'm writing an mvc 4 c# .net 4.5 website I want to create a new company object and register a new user that is linked to that company. My account model is: ``` [Table("UserProfile")] public class UserProfile { [Key] [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)] public int UserId { get; set; } public string UserName { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } public string PhoneNumber { get; set; } public bool MarketingEmailOptin { get; set; } public bool isDisabled { get; set; } public virtual Company CompanyICanEdit { get; set; } } ``` If i call the following it adds the user fine but has null for the CompanyICanEdit field: ``` WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(addCompanyViewModel.User.UserName, addCompanyViewModel.User.Password, propertyValues: new { FirstName = addCompanyViewModel.User.FirstName, LastName = addCompanyViewModel.User.LastName, EmailAddress = addCompanyViewModel.User.EmailAddress, PhoneNumber = addCompanyViewModel.User.PhoneNumber, MarketingEmailOptin = addCompanyViewModel.User.MarketingEmailOptin, isDisabled = false }); ``` which i would expect as i am not assigning it anything. i have tried adding (mycompany is a company object): ``` WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(addCompanyViewModel.User.UserName, addCompanyViewModel.User.Password, propertyValues: new { FirstName = addCompanyViewModel.User.FirstName, LastName = addCompanyViewModel.User.LastName, EmailAddress = addCompanyViewModel.User.EmailAddress, PhoneNumber = addCompanyViewModel.User.PhoneNumber, MarketingEmailOptin = addCompanyViewModel.User.MarketingEmailOptin, isDisabled = false, CompanyICanEdit = mycompany }); ``` But i get an error saying it can't match the type. How do i go about registering the user so that the CompanyICanEdit contains the CompanyId value of mycompany? Any help will be appreciated. thanks
