EF 4.1 Update 1 Code First + ASP.NET Membership Provider

I watc开发者_如何学Ched the “Creating immersive data experiences with Entity Framework “ video from this year’s BUILD conference and wanted to build out a simple application to test out the new features of EF. But, I’d also like to use the ASP.NET Membership Provider for managing users and roles within my app and I am struggling to find a clean way to include it in my code first approach. Do you guys have any recommendations, suggestions, or examples on how this could be done?

I would recommend looking at the MVC3-Boilerplate project on GitHub as it has a good example of creating a custom membership provider that is implemented using EF Code First.

I found this NuGet package which has been very useful.

Quickstart sample for using Altairis Web Security, Entity Framework and Unity in MVC 3. Super easy membership user/role integration. When using this quickstart, the users and role part of your project is completely setup. You can signup, login, edit roles for users etc.

CodeFirstMembership may be what you are looking for.

Features:

• Based on GUID's
• Login either by entering Username or Email
• Username and Email are unique
• Uses nearly all features from SimpleMembershipProvider
• Code-First approach
• All membership fields can be renamed/changed/localized
• Easily extendable (add additional fields)
• VB.NET and C# versions available

Also, ShoelaceMVC is a great MVC3 starter project that implements CodeFirstMemebership and comes with a nice layout thanks to Twitter's Bootstrap.
