I have login page that looks like:
It has a ViewModelBase and a ViewModel as:
public abstract class UserViewModelBase
{
private string userId;
private LdapDirectory ldapDir;
private XXXPerson userDetails;
public UserViewModelBase()
{
ldapDir = new LdapDirectory();
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated)
{
userDetails = ldapDir.GetUser(UserId, DirectoryInfoDepth.Roles);
}
}
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User Name")]
[StringLength(20)]
public string UserName { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string Password { get; set; }
public string UserId
{
get
{
return HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
}
}
public string FirstName
{
get
{
return userDetails.FirstName;
}
}
public string LastName
{
get
{
return userDetails.LastName;
}
}
public string Country
{
get
{
return userDetails.Country;
}
}
public bool CanViewXXX
{
get
{
return true; //Will call an API to get values
}
}
public bool CanViewRequiredXXX

}
public bool CanViewAggregations
{
get { return true; } //Will call an API to get values
}
public bool CanViewSystemParameter
{
get { return true; } //Will call an API to get values
}
public string PreferedReportFormat { get; set; }
public string PreferedEmailId { get; set; }
}
public class UserViewModel : UserViewModelBase
{
public bool IsValid(string userName, string password)
{
LdapDirectory ldapDir = new LdapDirectory();
if (ldapDir.AuthenticateUser(userName, password))
{
var userDetails = ldapDir.GetUser(userName, DirectoryInfoDepth.Roles);
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userDetails.Uid, false);
return true;
}
else
return false;
}
public void Logout()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
}
}
Controller as:
public class AccountController : Controller
{
// GET: Account/Account
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(ViewModel.UserViewModel user)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)

if (user.IsValid(user.UserName, user.Password))
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "SystemParameter", new { area = "SystemParameter" });
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Login data is incorrect!");
}
}
return View(user);
}
[Authorize]
public ActionResult LogOut()
{
ViewModel.UserViewModel xUser = new ViewModel.UserViewModel();
xUser.Logout();
return RedirectToAction("Login", "Account", new { area = "Account" });
}

It has a menu option as:
where userid is displayed and opening it displays a partial view as:
Controller for this is:
public class SystemParameterController : Controller
{
// GET: SystemParameter/SystemParameter
[Authorize]
public ActionResult Index()
{
decimal emailIdKey = 2;
decimal reportFormatKey = 1;
var user = new Account.ViewModel.UserViewModel();
using (var userPreferencesDB = new Models.UserPreferencesDbContext())
{
var userPreferences = userPreferencesDB.DWP_USER_PREF_T.Where(u => u.USER_ID.Equals(user.UserId, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).ToList();
var excelFormats = userPreferencesDB.DWP_REP_FORMAT_T.ToList();
if (userPreferences.Count > 0)
{
user.PreferedEmailId = userPreferences.Where(u => u.PREF_KEY == emailIdKey).SingleOrDefault().PREF_VALUE;
var reportFormatId = userPreferences.Where(u => u.PREF_KEY == reportFormatKey).SingleOrDefault().PREF_VALUE;
user.PreferedReportFormat = excelFormats.Where(e => e.FORMAT_ID.ToString() == reportFormatId).SingleOrDefault().REP_FORMAT;
}
else
{
user.PreferedEmailId = user.UserId.ToLower() + "@yyy.com";
user.PreferedReportFormat = excelFormats.Where(e => e.FORMAT_ID.ToString() == "1").SingleOrDefault().REP_FORMAT;
}
}
return View(user);
}
}
On click of User Preference, the following opens:
Using controller:
public class CommonController : Controller
{
public PartialViewResult UserPreferences()
{
decimal emailIdKey = 2;
decimal reportFormatKey = 1;
var userPreferenceVM = new ViewModels.UserPreferenceViewModel();
using (var userPreferencesDB = new Models.UserPreferencesDbContext())
{
var userPreferences = userPreferencesDB.XXX_USER_PREF_T.Where(u => u.USER_ID.Equals(userPreferenceVM.UserId, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).ToList();
var excelFormats = userPreferenceVM.Format = userPreferencesDB.XXX_REP_FORMAT_T.ToList();
if (userPreferences.Count > 0)
{
userPreferenceVM.PreferedEmailId = userPreferences.Where(u => u.PREF_KEY == emailIdKey).SingleOrDefault().PREF_VALUE;
var reportFormatId = userPreferences.Where(u => u.PREF_KEY == reportFormatKey).SingleOrDefault().PREF_VALUE;
userPreferenceVM.PreferedReportFormat = excelFormats.Where(e => e.FORMAT_ID.ToString() == reportFormatId).SingleOrDefault().REP_FORMAT;

userPreferenceVM.PreferedReportFormat = excelFormats.Where(e => e.FORMAT_ID.ToString() == "1").SingleOrDefault().REP_FORMAT;
}
}
return PartialView(userPreferenceVM);
}
}
Questions:
Is
UserViewModelBaseandUserViewModelthe correct approach to go for displaying login, User Preferences and Edit User Preference? I mean, what can I add inUserViewModelBaseandUserViewModel?I am using two different Actions to display User Preferences as partial view and Edit User Preferences as view. Is that ok or something needs to be corrected here?
It's like I somehow am not liking this. It seems like redoing work rather than reusing it.
