MVC4 OAuth HasLocalAccount method throws InvalidOperationException

Question

I have a MVC4 Application that spends debug process locally without enabling Register External site clients (like twitter , etc...) yet. And I'm Using custom membership user and role providers. But unfortunately when I browse the 'Manage' Page get this error:

Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

And the stack trace :

[InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.] Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth.OAuthWebSecurity.VerifyProvider() +91 Microsoft.Web.WebPages.OAuth.OAuthWebSecurity.HasLocalAccount(Int32 userId) +41 Melk.Controllers.AccountController.Manage(Nullable1 message) in C:\Users\AmirMehr\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Melk\Melk\Controllers\AccountController.cs:141 lambda_method(Closure , ControllerBase , Object[] ) +153 System.Web.Mvc.ActionMethodDispatcher.Execute(ControllerBase controller, Object[] parameters) +14 System.Web.Mvc.ReflectedActionDescriptor.Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary2 parameters) +211 System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionMethod(ControllerContext controllerContext, ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor, IDictionary2 parameters) +27 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass42.<BeginInvokeSynchronousActionMethod>b__41() +28 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass81.b__7(IAsyncResult ) +10 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +57 System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.EndInvokeActionMethod(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +48 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass39.<BeginInvokeActionMethodWithFilters>b__33() +57 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass4f.<InvokeActionMethodFilterAsynchronously>b__49() +223 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass37.<BeginInvokeActionMethodWithFilters>b__36(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +10 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +57 System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.EndInvokeActionMethodWithFilters(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +48 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c_DisplayClass2a.b_20() +24 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c_DisplayClass25.b_22(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +102 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +57 System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.EndInvokeAction(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +43 System.Web.Mvc.<>c__DisplayClass1d.<BeginExecuteCore>b__18(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +14 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass4.<MakeVoidDelegate>b__3(IAsyncResult ar) +23 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +62 System.Web.Mvc.Controller.EndExecuteCore(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +57 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c_DisplayClass4.b__3(IAsyncResult ar) +23 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +62 System.Web.Mvc.Controller.EndExecute(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +47 System.Web.Mvc.Controller.System.Web.Mvc.Async.IAsyncController.EndExecute(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +10 System.Web.Mvc.<>c__DisplayClass8.<BeginProcessRequest>b__3(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +25 System.Web.Mvc.Async.<>c__DisplayClass4.<MakeVoidDelegate>b__3(IAsyncResult ar) +23 System.Web.Mvc.Async.WrappedAsyncResult1.End() +62 System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler.EndProcessRequest(IAsyncResult asyncResult) +47 System.Web.Mvc.MvcHandler.System.Web.IHttpAsyncHandler.EndProcessRequest(IAsyncResult result) +9 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +9629708 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +155

Please help to be aware. Thanks.

Answer 1

VerifyProvider will throw if you are using the SimpleMembershipProvider and it is not yet initialized, or if the provider does not inherit from ExtendedMembershipProvider.

If you are using WebSecurity out of the box, you need to make sure WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection is called first.

If you are using custom providers, make sure they are inheriting from ExtendedMembershipProvider (or SimpleMembershipProvider), otherwise you cannot use this function.
