70-562 Membership API




Membership class: Provides the api to manage users, create, find, generatePassword, ValidateUser, and more...

MembershipUser Class: Stores name, email, password, question/answer, but doesnt manager user defined properties like profiles GetPassword, ResetPassword, UpdateUser, properties describing user info. One could make a page that allows to find users, delete user, select user from a listView control, which would provide a details view and update a password, or button to reset it.

Managing users from your own interface instead of configuration manager or web.config

API: MembershpiCreateStatus, Membership.Createuser(...), Membership.GetallAllUsers() retunrs an array of users. Membership.DeleteUser(strUserName), MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(strUserName), user.ChangePassword(old, new),
user.ChangePaswwrdQuestionAndAnswer(...), Membership.FindUsersByEmail(strUserName), Membership.FindUserByName(strUserName), user.ResetPassword(oldPassword), Managing Roles from your own interface instead of configuration manager or web.config

Roles Class: AddUser(s)ToRole(s)(...), CreateRole/DeleteRole, GetUsersInRole retrieves MembershipUsers objects, FindUsersInRole returns juste the names, GetRolesForUser/IsUserInRole, GetAllRoles returns a list of roles, RemoveUser(s)FromRole(s), RoleExists(s).

The delete from role method will delete user(s) from the role, and there is also another method that deletes the role itself or throws an exception if there is a user in this role.

Creating a custom provider

Membership and roles layer are based on the provider concept, that, API abstracted from data acesss layer. To create a provider that doesnt use sql server or express, you'd add a class to the App_Code folder. Inherti fromSystem.Web.Security.MembershipProvider or RoleProvider, Provide all the code for each of the methods, they map one to one to the API and you need to supply them all if you're creating your own provider. When inherting from the provider, let visual studio create the member stubs by right clicking on the class you inherit from, it will insert all the mothods you need to implement.

Membership controls vs custom providers

The controls have a property that indicates wich provider to use. You can also create your own controls and use the

Membership and roles API.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Javascript: Closure and Lexical Scope

The two are separate topics, I just happen to put them in the same post for now. Closure Closure is the capability to remember it's lexical scope, even when executed outside it's lexical scope. If two inner functions, are within the same scope, they share the same closure.     Lexical scope The lexical scope is the scope in which a variable is declared during the first pass of the javascript compilation, which has two passes, compilation and execution. During the compilation pass, the compiler goes through the code looking for formal declaration, that is, var, function and parameters of function. For each of these formal declarations, the compiler will check the current lexical scope, and add this identifier if it isn't already there. Then at the second pass, execution, the compiler will run the code as we are intuitively use to and once it reaches the the identifiers found earlier, will ask if they are left hand side(RHS), or right hand side (LHS). If th...
