AddToRole and IdentityRole is not part of the model for the current context

Question

I\'m using Identity 2.1 to handle the user roles in my asp.net application. So far so good, i created new context extending from IdentityDBContext, extending the IdentityUse

Answer 1

okay so the problem was with the UserStore, the default declaration was

public class UserStore<TUser> : UserStore<TUser, IdentityRole, string, IdentityUserLogin, IdentityUserRole, IdentityUserClaim>, IUserStore<TUser>, IUserStore<TUser, string>, IDisposable where TUser : Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityUser {

which have IdentityRole explicitly declared instead of making it using the generic notation like TUser, so we just need to create another class extending from the parent UserStore:

public class CarbonUserStore<TUser> : UserStore<TUser, Role, string, IdentityUserLogin, IdentityUserRole, IdentityUserClaim>, IUserStore<TUser>, IUserStore<TUser, string>, IDisposable where TUser : Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework.IdentityUser {

    public CarbonUserStore(DbContext context) :base(context) {}     }

Not cool Microsoft, I spent a day trying to figure it wait. However, it's added in the Identity package shipping with vNext(gotta love it bering open source): https://github.com/aspnet/Identity/blob/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework/UserStore.cs

public class UserStore<TUser, TRole, TContext> : UserStore<TUser, TRole, TContext, string>
    where TUser : IdentityUser, new()
    where TRole : IdentityRole, new()
    where TContext : DbContext
{
    public UserStore(TContext context, IdentityErrorDescriber describer = null) : base(context, describer) { }
}
