How do you configure SQL Session State in ASP.NET 5.0 (vNext) MVC 6? [closed]
sql-server,configuration,session-state,asp.net-5,asp.net-mvc-6
Support for SQL Server Session State is currently in development. So your best options for now are using In-Memory session(which has the issue which you mentioned about state not persisted for multiple servers behind load balancer kind of scenarios). However you could try using Redis cache(ASP.NET 5 Session implementation is...

ASP.NET vnext overriding status code set in controller. Is this a bug?
The behavior of void returning action was recently changed to not convert to 204 status code. However, for you scenario you could use the CreatedAtRoute helper method(this actually creates a CreatedAtRouteResult) which sets the Location header.

How to run nunit tests with asp.net 5 projects, espically with ReSharper?
DNX tests aren't currently supported by ReSharper. It's a whole new execution model, and hasn't yet been implemented for ReSharper. I'd expect to see support as DNX and asp.net stabilise and near release. Also, I don't believe nunit itself supports running as a DNX test runner - the xunit team...

ASP.NET 5 Custom roles for Windows Authentication
asp.net,asp.net-mvc,authentication,windows-authentication,asp.net-5
You don't set up custom roles. You need to create a custom authorization attribute, as described here. UPDATE: Yes, you can use your custom authorize attribute globally. Let's say here's your custom authorize attribute: public class MyAuthorizeAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute { protected override bool AuthorizeCore(HttpContextBase httpContext) { var username = httpContext.User.Identity.Name;...

The connection strings are set as environment variables.

Dependency Injection asp.net 5 custom classes, what is correct way?
c#,asp.net,model-view-controller,asp.net-5

How to register custom UserStore & UserManager in DI
asp.net-5,asp.net-mvc-6,asp.net-identity-3
DI in general is intended for interface-driven development; .AddUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>() specifies an implementation UserManager<>, not the service interface. That means that it's still expecting you to get UserManager<ApplicationUser> and only use it that way; it'll give you an ApplicationUserManager. I'm assuming that you have additional methods you want to use on...

What is the ASP.NET 5 equivalent of HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider
You need to trim the leading ~. MVC does this when it calls into the hosting environment, so coding with MVC apis makes it feel like ~/ is still supported to keep back compat working.

How do I access the IApplicationEnvironment from a unit test?
Well, it's not ideal but you can use the static service locator to get to it: var appEnv = CallContextServiceLocator.Locator.ServiceProvider .GetService(typeof(IApplicationEnvironment)) as IApplicationEnvironment; I am not sure if xUnit injects framework dependencies in through the constructor and I bet it doesn't. If it does though (which would be perfect), you...

Unfortunately, StackExchange.Redis hasn't been updated for DNX Core. Even Microsoft references it in Microsoft.Framework.Caching.Redis.

'Console' does not contain a definition for 'ReadKey' in asp.net 5 console App
Basically, Console.ReadKey is available in the full framework, but isn't available in .NET Core. That's why it's saying it's "Available" for ASP.NET 5.0 (building against the full framework) but "Not available" for ASP.NET Core 5.0 (building against CoreCLR). Either stop using it, or only build against the full framework -...

Short answer is "no". The new project system assumes two things: (1) folder name = project name and (2) project.json is in that folder. project.json is not a configuration file. It is the project metadata just like csproj is for C# projects While you still need to have a folder...

For example, to get access to the ILogger service from within ObjectResult. public override async Task ExecuteResultAsync(ActionContext context) { var logger = context.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ILogger<ObjectResult>>(); The above usage...
Project updated from beta-3 isn't producing outputs on build
As it turns out, when upgrading projects, some of the imports tend to get placed in the wrong order. In my upgraded .xproj, at the bottom, I found these lines: <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\DNX\Microsoft.DNX.Props" /> <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\DNX\Microsoft.DNX.targets" /> When I compared this with a fresh .xproj file, they were as follows: <!--...
Can I use roslyn and the new .net project format to create classes on build?
c#,.net,asp.net-5,roslyn,.net-core
You can add a precompilation step, similar to what Razor does to precompile views: https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/blob/64e726d2b26422c5452475627e4afaba307edec3/src/Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc/RazorPreCompileModule.cs Here's another example: https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/blob/e937e25ab3453ea86bda13c1297c41011dfda9de/ext/compiler/preprocess/Internalization.cs And this is how you hook it up https://github.com/aspnet/dnx/blob/3d20719b0a985b6960a3f87d9f5f9b6c3f71b7bc/src/Microsoft.Framework.Runtime/project.json#L16-L18...
aspnet vNext ActionFilter and TempData
To access TempData from within an action filter, you can get the service called ITempDataDictionary from DI. To get this service from DI, you could either do something like actionContext.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<ITempDataDictionary>() from within your OnActionExecuting method. You could also use construction inject if you like by using ServiceFilterAttribute. NOTE: TempData by...
Create a method/function to use within a view
Referring to a few design discussions that we only have glimpses of online, @helper was removed for design reasons; the replacement is View Components. I'd recommend a View Component that looked like the following: public class ConfigurationKeysViewComponent : ViewComponent { private readonly IConfiguration config; public ConfigurationKeysViewComponent(IConfiguration config) { this.config =...
WS-Federation sign-in Asp.NET 5 MVC 6 ADFS
asp.net,asp.net-5,adfs,asp.net-mvc-6,ws-federation
As you already figured out, the WS-Federation middleware has not been ported to ASP.NET 5 yet, but don't panic, it will definitely be: https://twitter.com/blowdart/status/610526268908535808 In the meantime, you can use the OWIN/Katana 3 WS-Federation middleware in an ASP.NET 5 application with a tiny IAppBuilder/IApplicationBuilder adapter (like this one: https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OpenIdConnect.Server/blob/vNext/samples/Mvc/Mvc.Server/Extensions/AppBuilderExtensions.cs#L50), but...
Resolve dependencies when calling constructor using DI with ASP.NET 5
First, you'll want to make sure the class you want to construct is registered with the DI container. (Given your example of a controller, it probably already is thanks to the MVC framework.) There's several ways to do this, the most basic of which is registering a Transient. Note this...
Output caching of API controllers in ASP.NET 5
.net,asp.net-web-api,asp.net-5,http-caching
Yes, you will be able to use the ResponseCacheAttribute. Because there is no difference between a Web Api Controller and an MVC Controller, you will be able to use the same attributes for both. This will apply whether it is the ResponseCacheAttribute, AuthorizeAttribute, RouteAttribute, or any others....
Can an ASP.NET 5 application be published such that the target machine doesn't need DNX installed?
In theory, you should be able to deploy your application into a machine where even .NET Framework is not installed but I remember hearing that even the dnxcore has some .NET Framework dependencies today and will be gone later (I could be mistaken, it's worth trying this out). Assuming this...
