Asp.net membership

If I want to do an admin function like delete a user on the asp.net membership stuff that ships with the asp.net mvc sample.

I tried looking through the tables and realized that there was multiple tables that had rows added. I assume there must be a simpler way.

You can also use the ASP.NET Configuration Tool.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998347.aspx - Step 3 shows how to add users. The same principle applies for deleting them. You can also mark them as inactive instead of deleting them. I usually mark them as inactive to preserve my database relationships.

In your Membership provider there is a method:

public bool DeleteUser(string username, bool deleteAllRelatedData)

If this is the standard asp.net membership provider that method runs a stored proc that cleans the user from your DB.

Here is some more examples: https://web.archive.org/web/20210304121422/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/091207-1.aspx

The Membership Provider base class has the methods you need. For example to delete a user you use the DeleteUser method. What you do NOT do is directly access the SQL database

Don't delete direct from the database, go through the membership provider and call the Membership.DeleteUser method.

Use the Membership API's.

To delete a user, use the Membership.DeleteUser method

Membership.DeleteUser(User.Identity.Name, true);
