Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Lambda two tables and three tables inner join code samples

In this blog post you will learn inner join using lambda queries. There will be two samples, in first sample you will see how you can join two tables and in second sample you will see how you can extend even further to join three tables and so on. I will sample in-memory data, but the same implementation will work with IQueryable (lazy query) too. Here's the code snippet:- namespace ConsoleApp1 {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var table1 = new List<Table1>();             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1" , Address = "Address 1" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2" , Address = "Address 2" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3" , Address = "Address 3" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4" , Address = "Address 4" });   

How to move web.config connectionStrings in a separate web.config file ?

Caching in MVC with Donut Caching - excluding caching login

The main purpose of using caching is to dramatically improve the performance of your application. This is nothing but output caching that means whatever you see is cached, and exact similar things is display to everyone. I recommend you to read Output Caching in MVC post before you read here, because you should be very careful when using any caching mechanism. Or, if you already know output caching, keep reading here only. Biggest problem you face If you display user login status on page which you want to cache, then you need to be careful. With output cache attribute [OutputCache(....)] caches everything on page and it will not exclude caching of some portion like login status. In the situation, the best caching library you should use is Donut Caching (aka Donut Output Caching). Let’s understand its uses. Using Donut Caching The best way to add donut caching to your MVC project is to use the NuGet package. From within Visual Studio, select Tools | Library Pa
