MVC 5 Custom Application

Question

I have implemented a custom UserStoreManager and I add same custom field into ApplicationUser.

It's work fine.

Now, I have a question. How I can get the ApplicationUser custom field value from a Controller?

I find the UserId information calling User.identity.getuserid or User.identity.getuserName but how I can access to the ApplicationUser Field?

Thank you

You just pull the user from the database. Something like:

var user = UserManager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());

You need to get ApplicationUser first for the current user.

var currentUser = UserManager.FindById(HttpContext.User.Identity.GetUserId());
var customField = currentUser.CustomField;

private AppUserManager UserManager
{
   get { return HttpContext.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<AppUserManager>(); }
}

Yes, Identity doesn't know the custom property name, so you cannot retrieve it like GetXXX.
