The non-generic type 'IdentityUser' cannot be used with type arguments

I am trying to add identity to my MVC project. I want to use an int as my key instead of a string. I am getting this error when I try the following:

public partial class AppUser : Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityUser<int>
{
}

Is there a library I need to do this or is there a parameter I am missing? Do I need to add IdentityDbContext to my DbContext, even if I have already ran scripts to add all the identity tables?

If I remove the <int> I do not get the error.

The EntityFramework provides a default implementation of the IdentityUser that uses string as key type, but also a generic class where you can customize the types of several properties of the IdentityUser. To use the generic type, you need to provide all type parameters, not just the one for the primary key as in your example, e.g.:

public partial class AppUser : Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityUser<int, IdentityUserLogin<int>, IdentityUserRole<int>, IdentityUserClaim<int>>
{
}
