CodeProject has many resources for understanding, and using, the repository pattern. Start here: [^]. Then look at the other relevant articles listed in the column on the right side of the article.

I have started a new project and using the following MVC5, EF6 - Code First, ASP.NET Identity with a tier'd architecture. What I want to do is decouple the ASP.NET Identity so I can customise the ApplicationUser in my data (core) layer which is mapped to my business / service layers. Does this make sense and has anyone done anything similar?
My solution is layered as follows;
Solution
--Presentation Layer
----MVC5 App
--Business / Services Layers
----UserService
----Models (Business Objects)
--Infrastructure Layer
----Data (EF Models)
--------ApplicationUser
----DataAccess (Repos etc)
--------DbContext

I already did that, but it is very time-consuming and annoying.
I created a layer to map the ASP.NET Identity models to my custom models and overrided all methods of the UserStore<identityuser> to implement my custom data access logic.
Probably the easiest way is a second database context that is only responsible for the Identity system.

So in my DataAccess I would have my regular DbContext and IdentityDbContext and just use a database initializer for in app start / global?

No you have the IdentityDbContext in in your MVC application and in the DataAccess layer your regular DbContext.

Hmm how will the IdentityDbContext know about my ApplicationUser in my data (EF Models) solution? Hmmm may give it a rest for tonight mind is not working correctly

The IdentityDbContext has already all Identity related models defined. If you like to customize it, do it like I described it previously:
Create a layer that is derived from UserStore<identityuser>, override all methods and fill them with you custom logic, and map the identity models to your custom models. AND VERY IMPORTANT: If you don´t want that the UserStore uses a default DbContext you have to define an invalid connection string in the constructor of the UserStore!

Hello folks,
I want to store login credentials for a SMTP server which should be stored encrypted.
In your opinion:
Where should I store the credentials?
How they should be secured?
Why do you think should I use your suggestion?
greetings
Nico

Hi Nico,
You can store the credentials in SQL Database.
They can be secured by using Hash encryption (one way encryption).
|
|
|
|
|
That won't work. See Bernard's message below for why it won't.
Cheers,
Peter

I guess it is your application which tries to communicate with the SMTP server.
Hence the application must be able to retireve the clear text password when connecting to the server. Consequently, you cannot hash the password, but you must encrypt it. This also adds the question of how to store the key and the salt value.
Next question is: who configures your application? Is it the "user" who enters his personal SMTP credentials or is it an administrator of the user's company who does so (and applies the same configuration to all installations of the application in the company)? Depending on the answer, you may use a user-specific settings file, a program specific settings file, the *.exe.config file, store data in a database, etc...
Also note that the .exe.config file contains a connectionStrings section, which can be "automatically" encrypted and also used for this purpose.

Hello Bernhard,
thank you for your reply!
The SMTP credentials are configured by an Administrator and not by the end user, so the SMTP is a global SMTP.
Ok, and in case of an ASP.NET application, this would be the web.config, wouldn´t it be?
To secure the configuration section would this be the appropriate way?
greetings
Nico

You identified the right section for web.config. I'd suggest to enter the credentials and do the protection during the deployment of the application.
|
|
|
|
|
Use the System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData class. It's designed for exactly this task.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your reply, but isn´t this class´ purpose only for encrypting and decrypting data with the dapi mechanism?
|
|
|
|
|
It is. You need to decide yourself, where to store encrypted data - config, settings file, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah DataProtection api is the way to go

I'm using Visual Studio 2010.
When I was compiling the execuables that contains 19 different dlls. Each dlls have dependency on other dlls. I just got bumped into a couple of incorrect dlls' date of creation.
For example, one dll 'error.dll' is being depended by half of the dlls which consists of error codes and its translations. some of the dlls has error.dll referenced being pointed to the error/bin/debug and others was pointed to error/bin/release.
When compiling overall solutions, the exe ended up having the wrong version of error.dll. Is there a better way to control the location of reference files... I mean a way to test or ensure that these references are pointed in their right places to ensure that these dlls are pulled correctly?
Thanks... respond back if you have any questions or answers.

There are two potential solutions that I normally use.
If you have the DLL that you are depending on in your solution, use a solution reference to refer to it - right click, Add Reference > Solution.
If the reference is to an external DLL, I copy that DLL into a common location (e.g. lib) that exists in the relative path to the solution and all projects use the DLL from that location. The advantage of this is that you can store this in source control, and you can easily sort out versioning issues.
