Comment on Resetting Password with ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Multiple Providers by Jerry

After talking with Peter, and looking at his code again, it worked like a champ. The part that kind of threw me for a loop was using the reset function as the old password. Here is my code in VB. Keep in mind that my provider MembersAdmin is just for the admin section of the client’s site.

Dim U As MembershipUser = Membership.Providers(”MembersAdmin”).GetUser(SUserName, False)
If Not U Is Nothing Then
U.ChangePassword(U.ResetPassword(), strPassword)
txtPassword.Text = “”
msgProgress.Text = “Password Changed”
End If

I am in the same boat as Kenny. I have a client that needs to be able to change a password for their user. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get these guys to walk through the process. So I set it up as above, but in order to change the password, I need old and new. If i reset it, it will go to their email and it is lost. So I figure my choices are like this.

1) change their email to the admins, fire the reset, get the new password. Then change their email back, use the emailed password to change the password to what they wanted.

2) somehow reset the password and display it on the screen without actually mailing it. Follow the second half of #1 and change to what they wanted.

3) Figure out how to hash the new password and store that result in the table with the salt key and bypass the provider. Just do a straight stored procedure.

Any thought to point me in the right direction and maybe shoot holes in my thinking? The biggest thing I need to be able to set the password to a password of my choosing, through an admin account. Everything I can think of comes up messy.

Hi Pete;

I was just reading Tim Sneath’s Blog when I noticed your comment about how much memory consumption IE8 had shown. One of the things while developing SL apps, I’m trying to be very conscious about creating objects (i.e. User Controls) @ Runtime and releasing the memory as soon as I’m done with it. However, I’m using IE7 and I’m not sure in IE7, there is such a feature or not.

So, that’s my question to you, is there such a feature in IE7 and how I can utilize it to see how my app is using memory?

Thanks!
..Ben

I appear to be getting masses of SPAM and junk mail, and the source email appears to be at 73rdstreet.com
Maybe someone has hacked your site/email?

Thanks. I have a problem where I get the following message
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerTimeoutException: The server request timed out.

The initial page load is quick but any updates takes forever and times out 99.9% of the time.

Any Sugestions

Comment on Best Practices for Configuring ASP.NET ConnectionStrings and AppSettings in Web.Config by Vladimir Kelman

Vladimir Kelman — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:08:34 +0000

Peter, my co-worker explained me that there is another and probably better (more secure) way to deal with connectionStrings (but not with appSettings!). You could remove connectionStrings from your application’s web.config and add it to your machine’s root web.config which is located under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG
