saving user state in MVC 5 [duplicate]

Question

Update - this question was originally not about session states.

I am trying to change a variable in the user state in MVC 5

// POST: /Account/Registered [HttpPost] [AllowAnonymous] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public async Task<ActionResult> Registered(loggedinViewModel model, ApplicationUser user, string selcteditem) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { var manager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new UserDb())); var store = new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new UserDb()); var currentUser = manager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId()); var newCID = clubIDMethod(); var ctx = store.Context as UserDb; ctx.Users.Attach(user); SelectedNewCID(model, newCID); ViewBag.newCID = (model.SelectedGodCID); user.CID = ViewBag.newCID; currentUser.CID = user.CID; } return View(model); }

I am really unsure what the state is not being saved, the currentUser.CID is being updated but then when I go else where it's still set to the original value

Please Help Thanks

You aren't saving your changes. See msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…. — Keith Payne

ctx.SaveChanges(); fails and also that would save back to the DB yes? set something to be something different, but not save it back to the db — Mich

Where is the elsewhere that you are referencing in your question? Because your controller method is pretty much the beginning and end of the user code portion of the web request/response life cycle. — Keith Payne

How is currentUser declared? Do you understand a new controller is instantiated for each request? Have you heard of session? — CodeCaster

currentUser is obtain for the database, and then set in the identityModels.cs, this is the first time I am needing to update it, and yes I understand a new controller is instantiated per request, I could use a session variable but not sure how in MVC 5 :( please help — Mich

you can add a Session on global.aspx with something like this

 protected void Session_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e) { string temp = string.Empty; HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("_SessionItem", temp); }

and then you need to assign that the CID with something like this

Session["_SessionItem"] = ViewBag.newCID;

this will hold the string in a session.

you need to then read that in using the session.
