ASP.NET Login Controls and NHibernate

Has anyone had any success using the ASP.NET Login Controls and the Membership API with NHibernate? Any sample apps or tutorials?

I currently have a simple web page created that uses NHibernate to view all users from a database including information from multiple tables, add new users (just using a table definition and text boxes), and edit existing users.

I now want to be able to add users to the database using the ASP.NET Login Controls. I have used the "asp_regsql.exe" to add the required membership tables to my existing database. I have included a copy of the web.config file as I was instructed to include the "MyMembershipConnString" connectionString tag and the "MyMembershipProvider" in the membership tag. When I try to build the solution, it generates the following error (line 10 is the opening nhibernate tag):

Unrecognized configuration section nhibernate in web.config line 10

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
   <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyMembershipConnString"
         connectionString="Data Source=YOUR-F8A010A9D0\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=LIFECLOUD;Integrated Security=True" />
  </connectionStrings>
   <appSettings>
      <add key="HBM_ASSEMBLY" value="Lifecloud.Core"/>

             requiresUniqueEmail="true" passwordFormat="Hashed" name="MyMembershipProvider"
             type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />
       </providers>
    </membership>
      <httpModules>
         <add name="NHibernateSessionModule" type="Lifecloud.Web.NHibernateSessionModule"/>
      </httpModules>
      <compilation debug="true">
         <assemblies>
            <add assembly="System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
            <add assembly="System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
            <add assembly="System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/></assemblies></compilation>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

I am trying to follow instructions on the membership API from the book, "Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005" from APress. Any help would be appreciated,

Your exception and error are separate questions.

To get rid of your exception: add this:

Code:

<configSections>
      <section name="nhibernate" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.1.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
   </configSections>

Furthermore, you'll encounter an exception, because unless you have explicitly written a class

Code:

MyMembershipProvider

and in that inherited MembershipProvider, it won't work.

You'll have to write a custom membership provider to work with NHibernate.

Are you still looking for this sample? Did you manage to find a sample somewhere? I have been playing with NHibernate using the MembershipProvider and RoleProvider implementations and I have full integration with the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool. I don't know if that would be of interest to you. I have tested the implementation so far using MS SQL and Oracle.

It still needs some work, as I am using it to play with NHibernate. I would be interested in comments on the implementation, especially regarding the NHibernate use. Let me know.

I'd be interested in your work .. I'd like to write a Provider to work with Membership and Role using NHibernate.

Thanks.

No problem. I don't use the default ASP.NET tables. I create my own because I am trying to include support to manage all users for a number of applications, not just one.

I have the model in Visio for Enterprise Architects. Can you tell me if this would be good for you or do you prefer a script to create the tables? If so, can you tell me which database you will be using? I can see if I can create the script for you.

Once I know this I can package the code and send it your way. It also comes with a sample application.

Also, can you tell me which version of NHibernate you are using? I am using 1.0.3. I have not had a chance to test using 1.2 beta, but I trust it will be fine.

VIsio is fine.

Thanks

How about an e-mail address?

I just sent it. Let me know if you do get my e-mail and if the attachment came through correctly.

I created a GotDotNet project where you can find the files. You can go directly to the project site by following this link (click me). I hope you find the sample code useful. Please provide help in the areas where I may be falling short to make this implementation better. Cheers.
